Call for
Papers
SCOPE
The
second edition of CIRCLE will take place on July
4-7, 2022
at Samatan, Gers, south of France (50 minutes from Toulouse). More
information at https://www.irit.fr/CIRCLE/.
CIRCLE
arose
from a twofold wish to gather three national Information Retrieval
(IR) conferences and to offer young researchers the opportunity to
meet and discuss with senior researchers. CIRCLE is supported by the
ARIA French conference (CORIA, COnférence en Recherche
d’Information et Applications), the Spanish Conference on
Information Retrieval (CERI, Congreso Español de Recuperación
de Información), the Italian Information Retrieval Workshop,
and the Swiss IR community. The main objective of CIRCLE is to
propose a unique place for stimulating and disseminating research in
IR, where senior/industrial and early stage researchers (including
MSc and PhD students) can network and discuss their research results
in a friendly environment.

TOPICS
OF
INTEREST
CIRCLE
2022 welcomes both theoretical and experimental papers on core IR and
papers on connections between IR and close disciplines including but
not limited to natural language understanding and information
extraction. Relevant
topics include, but are not restricted to:
Search
and ranking.
Research on core IR algorithmic topics, including IR at scale,
covering topics such as:
Queries
and query analysis
Web
search, including link analysis, sponsored search, search
advertising, adversarial search and spam, and vertical search
Retrieval
models and ranking, including diversity and aggregated search
Efficiency
and scalability
Theoretical
models and foundations of information retrieval and access
Content
analysis, recommendation and classification.
Research focusing on recommender systems, rich content
representations and content analysis, covering topics such as:
Filtering
and recommender systems
Document
representation
Content
analysis and information extraction, including summarization, text
representation, readability, sentiment analysis, and opinion mining
Cross-
and multilingual search
Clustering,
classification, and topic models
IR
and natural language processing
Domain-specific
applications.
Research focusing on domain-specific IR challenges, covering topics
such as:
Social
search
Search
in structured data including email search and entity search
Multimedia
search
Education
Legal
Health,
including genomics and bioinformatics
IR
and digital libraries
IR
and databases
Other
domains such as enterprise, news search, app search, archival
search
Artificial
intelligence, semantics and dialog.
Research bridging AI and IR, especially toward deep semantics and
dialog with intelligent agents, covering topics such as:
Question
answering
Conversational
systems and retrieval, including spoken language interfaces, dialog
management systems, and intelligent chat systems
Semantics
and knowledge graphs
Deep
learning for IR, embeddings, and agents
Human
factors and interfaces.
Research into user-centric aspects of IR, including user interfaces,
behavior modeling, privacy, and interactive systems, covering topics
such as:
Mining
and modeling search activity, including user and task models, click
models, log analysis, behavioral analysis, and attention modeling
Interactive
and personalized search
Collaborative
search, social tagging and crowdsourcing
Information
privacy and security
Evaluation.
Research that focuses on the measurement and evaluation of IR
systems, covering topics such as:
User-centered
evaluation methods, including measures of user experience and
performance, user engagement and search task design
Test
collections and evaluation metrics, including the development of
new test collections
Eye-tracking
and physiological approaches, such as fMRI
Evaluation
of novel information access tasks and systems such as multi-turn
information access
Statistical
methods and reproducibility issues in information retrieval
evaluation
IR
architectures.
Research
dealing with IR system architectures and scalability, covering
topics such as:
String
processing for IR
IR
system scalability
Efficient
text representations, indexing and ranking
Future
directions.
Research with theoretical or empirical contributions on new technical
or social aspects of IR, especially in more speculative directions or
with emerging technologies, covering topics such as:
Novel
approaches to IR
Ethics,
economics, and politics
Applications
of search to social good
IR
with new devices, including wearable computing, neuroinformatics,
sensors, Internet-of-Things, vehicles
PAPER
SUBMISSIONS
Authors
are invited to submit one of the following types
of contributions:
Long
original papers (from 6 to 9 pages including references) describing
mature and original research results
Short
original papers (from 3 to 5 pages including references) which
typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough
for a long paper, such as for example “doctoral papers”.
In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered
for acceptance into this category despite not having gone through
sufficient experimental validation or lacking strong theoretical
foundation.
Resource
and demo papers
(from 3 to 7 pages including references). A resource
paper describes
IR test collections software tools made available to the IR research
community. Demo
papers showcasing new technologies and prototypes in the cope of
CIRCLE
Extended
abstracts
(up to 3 pages including references) containing descriptions of
ongoing projects or presenting already published results
Manuscripts
should be submitted to CIRCLE’22’s Easychair site
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=circle2022)
in PDF format and must be in English using the current ACM
two-column conference format.
Suitable LaTeX, Word, and Overleaf templates are available from the
ACM
Website
(use the“sigconf”proceedings template).
Long
and short
submissions must be anonymous
and will be
peer reviewed by at least 3 reviewers in a double-blind process by
the CIRCLE common program committee. Resource
and demo
submissions
as well as extended
abstracts
are not
anonymous
and will be peer reviewed by at least 3 reviewers in a single-blind
process by the CIRCLE common program committee
The
conference language for this track will be English. Each accepted
paper will be orally presented and will be part of the proceedings
which will be sent to CEUR-WS.org for online publication.
