After surpassing human performance in the fields of Computer Vision, Speech Recognition and NLP, deep learning has been gaining scientific ground in IR. In spite of the sheer amount of publications that have proposed so-called neural IR approaches over the past decade, the field has not achieved the kind of progress seen in related fields. Over...

In recent years, personalized recommender systems have been facing criticism in research due to their ability to trap users in their circle of choices, called "filter-bubble", thereby limiting their exposure to novel content. In solving the issue of filter-bubble, past research has focused on providing explanations to users about how a...

Memes are theorized to be the building blocks of culture. Due to a lack of empirical validation, however, the theory of memes — memetics — remains in its infancy. We argue that one of the missing components for such empirical validation is a method for the large-scale identification of memes.<br/><br/>In this thesis, we develop a method for the...
