The ECIR conference is the premier European forum for the presentation of new research results in the broadly conceived area of Information Retrieval (IR), and has a strong focus on the active participation of early-career researchers.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

• User aspects, including information interaction, contextualisation, personalisation, simulation, characterisation, and behaviours.
• System and foundational aspects, including retrieval models and architectures, content analysis and classification, recommendation algorithms, query processing and ranking, efficiency and scalability.
• Machine learning, deep learning, neural IR, natural language processing, as applied to textual, visual, audio, and multi-modal information.
• Applications such as web search, recommender systems, web and social media apps, domain-specific search, enterprise search, novel interfaces to search tools, intelligent search, and conversational agents.
• Evaluation research, including new measures and novel methods for the measurement and evaluation of systems, users, and/or applications.
