Damiaan, PhD student at the @opengov.nl Lab presented his pitch at the 2nd Search Futures Workshop (searchfutures.github.io) at #ECIR2025 on document representation using legal contextual information, flanked by He who sacrificed Himself for our sins. Great workshop so far!

At the ICAI OpenGov Lab (@OpenGov.nl) we’re excited to contribute and explore how #NLP and information retrieval can help governments provide transparency that actually informs and empowers citizens! 5/5
