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
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:

SYNERGY 2025: Workshop on Designing and Building Hybrid Human-AI Systems
Co-located with HHAI 2025 (Hybrid Human-AI Intelligence Conference)
June 9, 2025 - Pisa, Italy
https://synergy.trx.li/
Important Dates:
- Submission Deadline: EXTENDED to April 21, 2025 (AoE)
- Notification: May 2, 2025
- Camera Ready: May 16, 2025
ABOUT
------
In 1960, Joseph Licklider envisioned "Man-Computer Symbiosis" where computation would augment human intellect. Today, as AI systems work alongside people in tasks from visual analytics to code generation, we are learning to design truly synergistic systems where humans and AI work flexibly together, leveraging their complementary abilities.
Following our successful first edition at AVI 2024 (https://synergy.trx.li/2024/), this workshop brings together researchers exploring the design, implementation, and evaluation of meaningful human-AI collaboration systems. The workshop will include consortium partners from the new €10M EU project TANGO "It takes two to tango: a synergistic approach to human-machine decision making".
TOPICS
-------
We invite submissions in four key areas:
- Interactive Decision-Making Systems: Real-time collaboration mechanisms, task allocation protocols, and approaches for handling uncertainty
- Adaptive Collaboration Frameworks: Dynamic systems that adjust to cognitive load and learn from human intervention
- Evaluation Methods: Novel approaches to measuring effectiveness of human-AI partnerships
- Implementation Architecture: Practical solutions and patterns for building collaborative systems
We particularly welcome submissions presenting concrete mechanisms, empirical evaluations, novel interaction patterns, and practical implementation challenges.
All submissions should demonstrate:
- Integration of both AI capabilities and human interaction aspects
- Consideration of practical design and implementation implications
- Clear connection to human-AI collaboration, even in theoretical or policy-focused work
SUBMISSION
----------
- Minimum 5 pages, CEUR-WS single column format
