Welcome to the SIGIR FSKM

The Information Retrieval Special Interest Group of Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, UiTM was founded and first led by Professor Dr Zainab Abu Bakar.  The group, part of the Computer Science Department initially concentrated on mathematical models and algorithms for retrieval quality of large-scale text retrieval systems.  In the past seven years, our scope has widened into both theoretical and experimental researches covering Web information retrieval and multimedia information retrieval systems.  Members of the group have also been involved in organizing international conferences, workshops and seminars in the area of information retrieval.

The mission of this group is to develop new technologies to help users quickly, easily and accurately access information.  After all, what good is knowledge if nothing can be found.
