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…).

Building SAI systems requires a multidisciplinary approach that integrates five disciplines: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), AI, end-user Development (EUD), Law and Ethics, and Software Engineering (SE).
The expected outcome concerns a collection of insights that can guide the future definition of design patterns, evaluation techniques, and guidelines that can be applied to creating SAI systems that can be used during the decision-making process.
Participants are invited to submit contributions that revolve around the following topics focusing on the human-AI relationship in critical scenarios:
Novel interaction mechanisms to support professionals through AI.
Case studies investigating the relationship between humans and AI in critical contexts (e.g., industry, medicine).
Re-engineering of already-existing AI systems for problem-solving and decision-making.
Application of HCD and development techniques to AI-powered software to support humans in making decisions.
Evaluation methods and quality verification techniques for the creation or employment of AI-based systems.
Application of EUD methods and techniques to AI-based solutions that can help humans in making decisions.
Considerations of legal and ethical issues concerning the use of AI systems in contexts in which human responsibility and accountability play a crucial role.
Investigation concerning the role of trustworthiness in AI to support decision-making (e.g., AI systems used by professionals or patients for diagnostic/therapeutic support).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics
The key areas that will be investigated during the workshop revolve around the human-AI relationship in decision making, specifically:
- Human-AI Decision Support Systems
- Human-Computer Interaction for AI
- End-User Development methods, techniques, and tools for AI
- Human-Centered Design (HCD) applied to the creation of AI
