Cfp Deadline Extended for #wows2024 until 28 February

Until 28 February 2024, the information retrieval community is invited to hand in submissions of scientific papers and implementations of retrieval components for the first #wows24 workshop. Doctoral students, but also early-stage students such as Master’s and Bachelor’s students of computer science, information science, information retrieval and NLP are welcome to submit their scientific work and implementations.

Mentoring for the practical part of submitting (parts of) retrieval pipelines is offered by the organisation team to (early-stage) participants (e.g., bachelor/master students).

The International Workshop on Open Web Search #wows24 will take place in Glasgow on 28 March 2024 (co-located with ECIR 2024). It will provide a forum to discuss and develop ideas and concepts to open up the web search ecosystem.

Call for Participation

We invite you to participate in the ECIR 2024 Workshop on Open Web Search.

Since much of the web search technology stack is closed source, and many even basic pieces of technology for building a scalable web search engine are missing, the WOWS workshop aims to promote, discuss, and develop an open web search ecosystem.

The workshop encourages submissions of scientific papers and implementations of retrieval components. For the practical part of submitting (parts of) retrieval pipelines, we offer mentoring of (early-stage) participants (e.g., bachelor/master students).
