SUMMARY:SIGIR
DESCRIPTION:“We are delighted to invite you to the 49th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval\, to be held from 20–24 July 2026 in Melbourne | Naarm\, Australia (and with ICTIR the day after\, on July 25). \n\n\n\nNow\, we could repeat all the things you already know: that Melbourne | Naarm is an extraordinary city\, renowned for its laneways\, coffee culture\, and liveability. But let’s also be honest: in July it will be winter\, it may well rain and you’ll need to bring a jacket. \n\n\n\nEven so\, we know that you’ll be willing to travel halfway around the world to attend SIGIR 2026\, to an event that will deliver a program that is as sharp and relevant as ever. Expect world-leading research in information retrieval\, dynamic workshops\, tutorials that will shift the way you think and opportunities to connect with members of our global community of researchers and practitioners. \n\n\n\nThe only thing more stimulating than the debates you’ll hear in the sessions will be the conversations you’ll have afterwards with peers and friends\, both old and new. We anticipate a week of discovery\, collaboration and inspiration—set in a city that has a way of winning over even the most sceptical visitor.”

SUMMARY:NTCIR
DESCRIPTION:Since 1997\, the NTCIR project has promoted research efforts for enhancing Information Access (IA) technologies such as Information Retrieval (IR)\, Text Summarization\, Information Extraction (IE)\, and Question Answering (QA) techniques. Its general purposes are to: \n\n\n\n\nOffer research infrastructure that allows researchers to conduct a large-scale evaluation of IA technologies\n\n\n\nForm a research community in which findings based on comparable experimental results are shared and exchanged\, and\n\n\n\nDevelop evaluation methodologies and performance measures of IA technologies.\n\n\n\n\nCollaborative works in the NTCIR allow us to create large-scale test collections that are indispensable for checking the effectiveness of novel IA techniques. In addition\, in the process of the collaboration\, it is expected that deep insight into research problems is successfully shared among researchers. \n\n\n\nIn particular\, the NTCIR-19 focuses on three topics on IA technology mainly; \n\n\n\nDeep NLP tasks in specialized domains such as e-commerce\, agricultural information\, human values\, finance\, medicine\, regulatory compliance\, etc. (CAMEO\, DAGRI\, FEHU\, FinArg-3\, HIDDEN-RAD2\, MedNLP-CALL\, and RegCom) \n\n\n\nModern IR tasks such as instruction design for agentic search (AgenticInstruction)\, lifelog content retrieval (Lifelog-7)\, pre-trained model retrieval (ModelRetrieval)\, and known-item retrieval under uncertainty (Tip-of-the-Tongue). \n\n\n\nResponse evaluation tasks such as automatic evaluation of LLMs’ responses (AEOLLM-2)\, confidence-aware RAG (R2C2)\, and claim verification in scientific literature (SciClaimEval).
