2nd Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users (IR4U2) - Bridging User-centered AI with IR: Making Information Retrieval Accessible for All

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users (IR4U2) serves as a platform to highlight information retrieval (IR) research that directly impacts often understudied user groups. The second (IR4U2) workshop focuses on a user-centred AI perspective, which is vital for informing the design, development, and assessment of information retrieval systems that thoughtfully address the diverse needs of understudied populations, ensuring genuine accessibility and inclusivity. The objectives of IR4U2 are: (1) to build community and awareness by sharing AI and IR developments that serve underrepresented user groups in this research area; (2) to identify challenges and open issues along with lessons learned and challenges inherent to this area of research; and (3) to spark discussions that establish common frameworks for future research.
