SIGIR 2025 Low Resource Environments Track
July 13-18, 2025
Call for Presentation Proposals
Low-resource environments are characterised by limited access to resources,=
 such as test collections for training or benchmarking Information Retrieva=
l (IR) techniques, restricted access to research funding, or limited comput=
ing infrastructure. These environments can be found in low-income countries=
, and in underserved communities within middle- and high-income countries. =
Low-resource environments encompass the places, people, and platforms invol=
ved in accessing information. These environments present unique IR problems=
, requiring innovative solutions and new perspectives. However, the IR comm=
unity, and SIGIR in particular, has seen limited work addressing these chal=
lenges, and limited participation by people working in low-resource environ=
ments.
The =93Low Resource Environments=94 track aims to widen participation among=
 researchers from low-resource environments, and to foster community buildi=
ng and collaboration opportunities. This track provides a platform for rese=
archers and practitioners who are working in low resource environments, and=
 for people elsewhere who are working on related issues, to share experienc=
es, discuss challenges, explore solutions, and forge collaborations.
We invite IR researchers and practitioners to submit two-page presentation =
proposals focusing on low-resource environments. We particularly encourage =
submissions from researchers based in low- and middle-income countries. Pro=
posals may include:

  *
New IR problems or solutions for low-resource environments
  *
Work-in-progress that could be further developed for later publication at S=
IGIR
  *
Insights from past IR projects in low-resource environments

A broad range of contributions are welcome. For example, proposals could di=
scuss challenges faced during research, findings published elsewhere, or ne=
w issues emerging from prior work.
Proposals will be peer reviewed by the track=92s program committee. Authors=
 of accepted proposals can choose to present their work either in-person or=
 using live video conferencing, as the track will support both modes of par=
ticipation.  To make in-person participation possible, SIGIR is able to pro=
vide travel support (including transportation, accommodation, and conferenc=
e registration) for a limited number of researchers or practitioners from l=
ow-income and lower-middle income countries. The SIGIR proceedings will inc=
lude two-page abstracts for accepted presentations.
Topics of Interest
We invite presentations that share insights from past projects or propose n=
ew positions, problems, methods, tools, techniques, or experiments addressi=
ng IR challenges in low-resource environments. Topics of interest include, =
but are not limited to:

  *
IR systems and applications: Exploration or evaluation of new IR applicatio=
ns for low-resource environments. For example, low-cost tools for low-incom=
e, underserved communities or rural populations.
  *
IR for sustainable development: Systems or technologies aligned with UNESCO=
's Sustainable Development Goals.
  *
Societal impact of IR systems: Studies on the societal implications and eth=
ical concerns involving IR platforms and algorithms in low resource environ=
ments including issues of equitable information access.
  *
Building IR research networks: Initiatives and frameworks for establishing =
collaborations and communities to address low-resource environments.
  *
IR Dataset creation: Development and evaluation of new datasets for low-res=
ource languages and other low-resource environments.
  *
Search and ranking: Research on retrieval models and ranking techniques for=
 low-resource languages and other low-resource environments.
  *
Efficiency and scalability: Studies of search systems that focus on efficie=
ncy and scalability in resource-constrained environments.
  *
Cross-cutting research involving IR: Research bridging gaps between IR and =
related fields such as natural language processing, speech processing, imag=
e processing or video processing for low-resource languages and other low-r=
esource environments.
  *
Evaluation: Innovative methods for assessing IR systems in low-resource env=
ironments.

Important Dates

  *
3 March 2025: Presentation proposals due
  *
31 March 2025: Notification of acceptance
  *
13-18 July 2025: SIGIR Conference in Padua, Italy

All deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE (Anywhere on Earth) on the date indicated=
.
Submission Instructions
Submissions must be written in English and submitted online using the EasyC=
hair system
 https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3Dsigir2025
by selecting the =93SIGIR 2025 Low Resource Environments=94 track.
There is no required format for presentation proposals. Reviewing will not =
be blind, so author names and affiliations should be included in presentati=
on proposals.
Child Care Service
SIGIR 2025 promotes inclusion and attendance also by organizing a child car=
e service, in order to foster work-family balance by offering congress atte=
ndees the opportunity to attend events with their children.
Children from 0 to 12 years of age are welcomed in a specially set up room =
inside Padua Congress Center throughout the duration of the congress. A col=
orful, =93warm=94, safe and welcoming environment, in the same structure th=
at hosts the congresses, a protected place where parents can leave their ch=
ildren, but at the same time stay in touch with them during the breaks of t=
he different sessions.
The nursery space dedicated to the 0-3 age group, equipped with a changing =
table and other facilities dedicated to the little ones, is next to the kid=
s=92 area for children over 3 years old and a cinema room for screenings.
The activities are run by a company specialized in education services with =
expert staff, appointed by Padua Congress Center, and include thematic work=
shops - from painting to creative activities - as well as playtime also in =
the open air, in the facility's outdoor spaces. Children are also offered l=
unch.
The service is available - for a fee (depending on sponsors) - to all SIGIR=
 2025 attendees who request it. For more information and updates, check out=
 the SIGIR 2025 Child Care<https://sigir2025.dei.unipd.it/child-care.html> =
