FIRE
is a group of Finnish researchers and post-graduate students in
Information Retrieval. FIRE members pursue basic and applied research
on all aspects of information storage and retrieval, including text and multimedia databases, database design and
reorganization, and document management. Much of FIRE's empirical
research is based on test collections (both text and picture
documents) at the Information Retrieval Lab of the Department. FIRE
organizes informal research meetings and a (monthly) seminar. FIRE is open to
researchers and post-graduate students interested in IR. For further
