ECIR 2022: Call for short papers

ECIR 2022 - 44th European Conference on Information Retrieval
10-14 April 2022 | Stavanger, Norway
https://ecir2022.org/

Call for Short Papers
=================

The European Conference on Information Retrieval is the prime European forum for the presentation of original research in the field of Information Retrieval.

ECIR 2022 is seeking high-quality and original submissions on theory, experimentation, and practice of information retrieval.

Topics of Interest
=============

ECIR 2022 encourages the submission of high-quality and original papers on the theory, experimentation, and practice of information retrieval and interaction; this primarily includes textual information but could also include visual, audio, and multi-modal information. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

 - User aspects, including information interaction, contextualisation, personalisation, simulation, characterisation, and behaviours;
 - System and foundational aspects, including retrieval models and architectures, content analysis and classification, recommendation algorithms, query processing and ranking, efficiency and scalability;
 - Machine learning, deep learning and neural models, natural language processing, and graph models applied to information retrieval and interaction;
 - Applications such as web search, recommender systems, web and social media apps, professional and domain-specific search, novel interfaces to search tools, intelligent search, and conversational agents;
 - Evaluation research, including new metrics and novel methods for the measurement and evaluation of retrieval systems, users, and/or applications.

Short Paper Track
==============

The Short Paper Track calls for original contributions presenting novel, thought-provoking ideas and addressing innovative application areas within the field of Information Retrieval. The inclusion of promising (preliminary) results is encouraged but not required. Papers that stimulate and promote discussion are particularly encouraged.

Submission Guidelines
==================

Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines (https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conference-proceedings-guidelines) and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word (to be found on that Springer page), for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.

All submissions must be written in English. All papers should be submitted electronically through the EasyChair submission system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecir2022


Short papers are up to 6 pages in length plus additional pages for references. Appendices count toward the pagelimit.

Short paper submissions will be refereed through double-blind peer review. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The proceedings will be distributed to all delegates at the conference. Accepted papers will have to be presented at the conference – and at least one author will be required to register. ECIR intends to publish the proceedings as open access if sufficient funding is acquired.
