SIGIR Academy
The SIGIR Academy is a group of researchers honored by ACM Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval. Each year, 3-5 new members are elected (in addition to other "very senior members of the IR community" who will be "automatically" inducted) for having made significant, cumulative contributions to the development of the field of information retrieval and influencing the research of others. These are the principal leaders of the field, whose efforts have shaped the discipline and/or industry through significant research, innovation, and/or service.
History
The SIGIR Academy was established in 2021 by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval (SIGIR) to recognize individuals who have made significant cumulative contributions to the field of information retrieval.[1]
