*SCOPE*

SPIRE 2023 covers research in all aspects of string processing, information
retrieval, computational biology, and related applications. Typical topics
of interest include (but are not limited to):

    •    String Processing: string pattern matching, text indexing, data
structures for string processing, text compression, compressed data
structures, compressed string processing, text mining, 2D pattern matching,
automata-based string processing, combinatorics on words.
    •    Information Retrieval: Web search. Retrieval models and ranking.
Theoretical models and foundations of information retrieval and access.
Efficiency and scalability, e.g., efficient data structures for IR,
indexing, etc. Queries and query analysis. Content analysis for search.
Knowledge acquisition. Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing for
search, e.g., Core ML, Question answering, Conversational systems, Explicit
semantics. Knowledge representation and reasoning. User-centric aspects of
IR including user interfaces, behavior modeling, privacy, and interactive
systems. Evaluation. Fairness, accountability, transparency.
Domain-specific applications, e.g., local and mobile search, social search,
multimedia search, health, digital libraries, etc.
    •    Computational Biology: DNA sequencing, assembly, alignments, read
error correction, metagenomics, transcriptomics, gene and regulatory
element recognition, motif finding, pangenomics, variants discovery.

*SUBMISSIONS*

SPIRE 2023 invites submissions in two categories:
    •    Long papers: Up to 12 pages, excluding references and optional
appendices.
    •    Short papers: Up to 6 pages, excluding references and optional
appendices.

The reviewing process will be single-blind, namely, each submission should
not be anonymized.
Submissions should be submitted electronically via EasyChair.
As in past editions, the proceedings of SPIRE 2023 will be published by
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The use of
either LaTeX or Word LNCS templates is mandatory. Suitable templates are
available on the Springer Website and Overleaf. Please do not change the
margin size or the font, do not make a separate title page, etc.: use the
LNCS style file as given. Simultaneous submissions to other conferences
with published proceedings are not permitted.
The Best Paper Award (1,000 EUR prize supported by Springer) will be given
to the author(s) of the most outstanding work presented at the conference.
