FIRE
is a group of Finnish researchers and post-graduate students in Information
Retrieval.
FIRE members pursue basic and applied research on all aspects of information
storage and retrieval, including bibliographic, text and multimedia
databases, database design and reorganization, and document management. Much
of FIRE's empirical research is based on the test collections (both text and

Information Retrieval Laboratory of the Department.
FIRE organizes informal research meetings and seminars.
