EXTENDED DEADLINE: IR4U2@SIGIR 2025 - Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users

by Noemi Mauro

**** PLEASE, EXCUSE MULTIPLE POSTINGS **** Call For Papers CFP for the 2nd Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users (IR4U2) - Bridging User-centered AI with IR: Making Information Retrieval Accessible for All Please join us at IR4U2, co-located with the 48th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval, which will take place 13th-18th July 2025 in Padua, Italy. Important dates All the deadlines are set at 11:59 PM AoE. - Submission: May 4, 2025 - Submission: April 23, 2025 - Author notification: May 21, 2025 - Camera-ready: June 1, 2025 - Workshop day: July 17, 2025 Information Retrieval (IR) remains an active, fast-paced area of research. Nevertheless, most advancements in this domain have primarily favored what we might term 'conventional' users, such as adults from the global north. We envision IR4U2 as a forum to spotlight research and industry efforts that, while sparse, consider diverse, and often understudied, user groups. Among these groups, we find, for example, older adults, young children and adolescents, individuals afflicted by mental health disorders, users with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), individuals with intellectual disabilities, or those with specific learning needs. In this second iteration of IR4U2, we will focus more specifically on a **user-centred AI perspective**, which we believe is vital for informing the design, development, and assessment of IR systems that thoughtfully address the diverse needs of understudied populations, ensuring genuine accessibility and inclusivity. We aim to • Build, extend and maintain a community involving multi-disciplinary Ph.D. students, academics, and industry practitioners aiming to advance understanding of core (AI for) IR technology and its impact on a broad range of understudied users. • Take inventory of the different kinds of use cases, research work, ongoing efforts, and existing resources while reflecting on the progress made since the last IR4U2 iteration. • Define guidelines to promote user-centric design of IR systems. • Outline a general approach to facilitate research endeavors driven by and at the service of specific user groups IR4U2 will be a highly participatory, full-day, in-person workshop. This will involve informal interactions, facilitated group work, and brief presentations of accepted contributions. These contributions will help construct a snapshot of the current works in this area. Topics of interest include: - User-centered design of IR algorithms for understudied users - User-centric design of user interfaces for IR for understudied users - The use of AI for enhancing IR systems for understudied users - The positive and negative impact of AI on IR for understudied users - User modeling to enable IR and recommendation technologies tailored to understudied populations - Data collection and benchmark development of IR catering to understudied populations. - IR applications targeting understudied populations - IR techniques in the era of LLM and generative models with and for understudied populations This is not an exhaustive list, as we are also interested in contributions discussing challenges inherent to designing IR technology at the service of understudied user groups–from the need for multidisciplinary, multi-stakeholder collaborations to how to build datasets. Submissions: Peer reviewed contributions. These include research papers presenting empirical explorations, user studies, and/or new algorithms related to the open problems listed in topics of interest, as well as position/vision contributions discussing uses cases, challenges, and future research directions. These contributions should be submitted on EasyChair ( https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=ir4u20) at least 4 pages, but up to 12 (excluding references) formatted in CEURART’s single-column template ( https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/one-column-layout-template-for-sub…). Accepted contributions will be presented at the workshop and published in workshop proceedings. Editorially-reviewed contributions. To enable potential attendees to articulate their views on the topics of the workshop, share already-published works, bring awareness to ongoing European projects in this area, etc., we ask the submission of a short extended abstract. This type of informal submission (via this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoz0WWHx_0EXcPc9AZOTw6zx07gSolQ61… ) will be editorially reviewed by workshop organizers to gauge fit as well as themes of interest for group discussions. Accepted contributions will be presented at the workshop, but not published in the proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop. Please feel free to reach out to the ir4u2.research(a)gmail.com with questions. For further information, see https://ir4u2workshop.wixsite.com/ir4u2-2.

The 19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025) will be held from September 15 to 19, 2025. ECSA 2025 is planned as an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus). ECSA 2025 enriches its partnership with more journals and opportunities than ever before, to incorporate journal-first papers into its program. The journals are: - Journal of Systems and Software (JSS) - IEEE Software - Information & Software Technology (IST) - Transaction on Software Engineering (TSE) We invite authors of journal papers accepted by JSS, IEEE Software, IST, or TSE since December 1, 2023 to submit their work for presentation at ECSA 2025, which will allow authors of journal-first papers to present their work to the community. SCOPE A journal-first paper submitted to ECSA 2025 must adhere to the following criteria: • The paper must have been accepted after peer review by one between JSS, IEEE Software, IST or TSE. • The paper is in the scope of the conference. • The paper has not been presented at and is not under consideration for journal-first programs of other conferences. PAPER SUBMISSION We invite authors of papers that meet the above criteria to submit a proposal that includes a summary of the original paper that highlights the contributions, motivates the relevance for the ECSA, and briefly discusses how the work has developed after the original publication - if it is the case. Please include the DOI of the original journal paper. ECSA offers an opportunity to disseminate your work to a broader community audience. The submission must be 3-4 pages long and conform to the Springer LNCS style (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…). Accepted submissions will be invited to present at the conference. The track chairs will write a summary of the accepted submissions that will be included in the conference proceedings. Proposals must be submitted via the online EasyChair submission site for the ECSA 2025 conference, selecting the "Journal First" Track: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ecsa2025 . EVALUATION Authors will be invited to present their paper at ECSA 2025 if it meets the above criteria. Please note that we plan to include as many journal-first papers as possible in the ECSA main program. However, if we receive an exceptionally high number of submissions, we may have to prioritize presentation proposals according to their fit to the conference theme and sessions structure. As the papers have already been reviewed and accepted by a journal, we will not review the submission for technical content; instead, we will focus on the track’s criteria. PRESENTATION ECSA 2025 is planned to be an in-person/physical conference. The journal-first paper presentations are part of the ECSA conference’s main program. As a journal-first presenter, you will benefit from the conference presentation in many ways, such as, outreach to a broader audience and interactions and discussions with peers. At least one author of each submission accepted for the journal-first program must register and attend the conference to present the paper. IMPORTANT DATES • Paper submission: May 23, 2025 • Acceptance notification: June 20, 2025 All dates are 23:59h AoE (anywhere on Earth). ORGANISATION General Chairs • Cesare Pautasso, University of Lugano, Switzerland • Vasilios Andrikopoulos, University of Groeningen, The Netherlands Journal First Track Chairs • Jesper Andersson, Linnaeus University, Sweden • Romina Spalazzese, Malmö University, Sweden
