Call for Papers

The workshop centers around pioneering research at the intersection of information seeking, big models, and novel technologies. It specifically focuses on five key aspects: (1) revolutionizing information retrieval, e.g., exploring how big models can enhance efficiency and effectiveness in accessing information; (2) advancing recommender algorithms, e.g., utilizing big models to improve personalized recommendations; (3) enhancing question-answering systems, e.g., leveraging big models for accurate and contextually relevant responses; (4) ensuring trustworthiness, e.g., emphasizing ethical and legal standards when using big models; (5) comprehensive evaluation, e.g., designing robust evaluation methodologies to assess big models' impact. We welcome original submissions across a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
  • Information retrieval with large generative models
  • Query expansion and reformulation strategies
  • User studies and experiences with big models
  • Ethical considerations and responsible AI
  • Architectural integration into search engines
  • Scalability challenges in deploying big models
  • Applications in specialized domains
  • Robust evaluation metrics
  • Multimodal information seeking
  • Integration in recommendation systems
  • Advancements in question-answering
