LIT Leaves ILLC

As of April 1, 2004 the Language and Inference Technology (LIT) group of Maarten de Rijke, is no longer part of the ILLC. They are now part of the Informatics Institute of the Universiteit van Amsterdam.

Maarten joined ILLC in 1998, and in 2001 he and Michael Masuch founded the LIT group. The group quickly grew to become an award-winning group of over 20 people pursuing foundational, experimental, and applied research in intelligent information access.

At the Informatics Institute, Maarten has taken up a professorship in Information Processing and Internet. The following people have left the ILLC along with Maarten de Rijke: Loredana Afanasiev, David Ahn, Caterina Caracciolo, Sisay Fissaha, Massimo Franceschet, Evan Goris, Willem van Hage, Gabriel Infante-Lopez, Valentin Jijkoun, Jaap Kamps, Maarten Marx, Gilad Mishne, Rob Mokken, Karin Mueller, Stefan Schlobach, Borkur Sigurbjornsson, Maarten Stol, and Petrucio Viana.

The LIT group has moved out of the B building to the Watergraafsmeer, where the Informatics Institute is housed. Their new address is:
