Overview

The Search and Information Extraction Lab (SIEL) of Language Technologies Research Centre (LTRC), IIIT Hyderabad is conducting a special and unique event named SONG, from July 12th to 18th 2010.

SONG is one-of-a-kind event where all the researchers of the lab will be working on a single task which could possibly make difference to the lives of many. This shall be SIEL's contribution to the society. SIEL plans to conduct this event every year and SONG 2010 shall be the first in the series.

SIEL has 40 researchers working on different aspects of Information Retrieval and Extraction. Using the knowledge of every individual to make a useful system in a week's time will be a challenging task but will also be a time to see the entire lab work together on one problem for a noble cause. SIELers will stay in the workplace for an entire week, discuss and enjoy system building. We seek support from project managers, program managers, rapid application development experts, researchers and media/press to make this event a grand success.
