Call for workshop abstracts on information access in uncertainty scenarios (scarce/non-existent info, evolving knowledge,...). 📣 Submission due 3 March Retrieval under uncertainty, query understanding, data-void settings, GenAI in uncertain contexts,... sites.google.com/view/infuse-... 🇳🇱 #ECIR26

BREAKING: There will be an #irrj paper session at the 48th European Conference on Information Retrieval #ecir2026 on 1 April in Delft, The Netherlands. https://ecir2026.eu

For anyone who's waiting for #CHIIR2026 notifications. Rest assured, they are on their way! We're crossing the t's and dotting the i's. Let's hope that #ECIR2026 is on track too (it's not a competition 😏) @ecirelyk.bsky.social @acmsigir.bsky.social

Once again, ARC hits the 🎯 with their comms strategy: 8pm on Sunday night. When the eyeballs of researchers are glued to … twitter? They've not posted this anywhere else. I can't think of a better way to _not_ "engage stakeholders". Almost uncanny.

🌟Really excited to share the fourth Strategic Workshop on Information Retrieval (SWIRL) report published in SIGIR Forum! Paper 👉🏻 www.johannetrippas.com/papers/tripp... More info 👉🏻 sites.google.com/view/swirl20... #SWIRL2025 #SIGIR2026 #IR #GenAI #Research #CHIIR2026
