Information retrieval is an important area of IT which has had an increasing profile over the past few years with search engines such as Google becoming popular. Researchers in the U.K. were pioneers in the field, and the UK has continued to be strong in the area over the past 40 years or so. Many commercial companies have become successful in taking ideas produced in the academic world and successfully producing software that is sold on the open market. It is therefore important to ensure that the UK strength in information retrieval is maintained and enhanced, by supporting research student paper presentation and attendance at the top European Conference on Information Retrieval research. The conference, known as ECIR, will be held at Imperial College London in April 2006. The conference series has been running for 28 years, and has always had a focus on supporting research students and new researchers. We therefore propose funding for students to both present paper/posters and to attend the conference, and also to support keynote speakers attendance. This project will help the continuity of excellence in information retrieval research in the U.K. and ensure the vitality of the field in the country.

信息检索是IT的一个重要领域，在过去的几年中，随着b谷歌等搜索引擎的流行，信息检索得到了越来越多的关注。英国的研究人员是该领域的先驱，在过去40年左右的时间里，英国在该领域一直保持强势。许多商业公司成功地吸收了学术界产生的想法，并成功地生产出在公开市场上销售的软件。因此，重要的是要确保英国在信息检索方面的实力得到维持和加强，支持研究学生的论文发表和参加欧洲信息检索研究会议。这次会议被称为ECIR，将于2006年4月在伦敦帝国理工学院举行。该系列会议已经运行了28年，并且一直专注于支持研究生和新研究人员。因此，我们建议资助学生提交论文/海报和参加会议，并支持主讲人出席会议。该项目将有助于英国信息检索研究的卓越延续，并确保该领域在该国的活力。
