The Mexican Computer Science Society organizes a yearly meeting
gathering researchers, students, educators and industry leaders for a
week. This meeting is a multiconference with many workshops,
tutorials, international conferences and student activities. The
international conference Current Trends in Computer Science is a
multi-track conference around a hot topic for the Mexican research
community. This year the trend/topic is information processing and
retrieval from three points of view. The first track is about
classical information retrieval and the web with standard methods. The
second track focuses on data analysis and management, that is, the
frontier between pattern recognition and databases, where large-scale
applications need to handle and retrieve multimedia and complex
objects. The third track focuses on the user-driven software systems
motivated by the above problems.

Track One: Information Retrieval
co-chairs: Vibhu Mittal, Carnegie Mellon University, USA
           Martin Farach-Colton, Rutgers Univesity, USA

The Information Retrieval Track will be a forum for the
presentation of new research results, systems and techniques in the
broad field of information retrieval (IR).

The track welcomes contributions related to any aspect of IR, including:

 * IR theory and analysis of new models
 * IR systems: Performance, Compression, Scalability, Architectures,
Efficiency
 * IR Evaluation, Test collections, Evaluation methods and metrics
 * Content representation, indexing, and data structures
 * Interactive IR, User interfaces and visualization,
 * Citation and link analysis, Adversarial IR in the presence of spam
 * Cross-language retrieval,  Machine translation for IR
 * Video and image retrieval, Audio and speech retrieval, Music retrieval
 * Machine learning for IR
 * New models for information dissemination: Question answering,
summarization, etc
 * Text Mining
 * Text Categorization and Clustering

Information on how to submit can be found in the submission guidelines.
