Call For Papers

SIGIR 2027 (International Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval) is a CCF A / ICORE A* / QUALIS A1 conference held in San Jose, California, USA on 2027-07-18. The paper submission deadline is 2027-01-14. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2027-04-05.

New in 2027 This year's Full Paper CFP introduces several changes from prior years. Here is a summary: Agentic IR is now a standalone topic area. Reflecting the rapid growth of agent-based information access, from tool-augmented retrieval to autonomous multi-step search, we have elevated Agentic IR into its own top-level area, separate from Conversational IR. New topic area: Information Access through Generative AI. We introduce a dedicated area for research on how generative models are changing the way people access information, covering attribution, grounding, retrieval integration in compound AI systems, and the interplay between retrieval-based and generation-based access. Expanded FATE area to include AI Safety in IR. The Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, Ethics area now explicitly covers adversarial robustness, misinformation in AI-mediated search, guardrails for agentic systems, and alignment of search with user intent. Consolidated "Foundation Models for IR" area. We merged the former "Machine Learning for IR" and "Natural Language Processing for IR" areas into a single area reflecting the convergence of these fields around foundation models. The emphasis is on models that advance retrieval and access, not on general model research evaluated on IR benchmarks. Updated evaluation area. We added explicit encouragement for evaluation frameworks addressing agentic and multi-step IR, groundedness and hallucination measurement, and cost-quality tradeoffs. Chair for Integrity and Robustness. We are introducing a dedicated chair role to support the review process with automated checks on research integrity and methodological robustness. This complements and does not replace expert reviewer judgment. Satellite presentation option. Presenting authors who are unable to obtain a visa may apply to present at a satellite location instead. Requests are reviewed through an approval process. Please check Satellite Presentation Policy for eligibility and how to apply. Relevant Areas Relevant topic areas include (but are not limited to): Search and Ranking Research on core IR algorithmic topics, such as: Queries and query analysis. Web search. Retrieval models and ranking. Theoretical models and foundations of information retrieval and access. System, Efficiency and Scalability Research on search system aspects that relate to the efficiency of the system and/or its scalability, such as: Efficient and scalable indexing, crawling, compression, search, and more. Energy efficiency and green computing for IR. Search engine architecture, distributed search, metasearch, peer-to-peer search, search in the cloud, edge IR. Inference cost optimization for neural retrieval and generative components. Recommender Systems Research focusing on recommender systems, rich content representations and content analysis for recommendation, such as: Filtering and recommendation. Cross-domain recommendation, socially-aware and context-aware recommender systems, multi-stakeholder recommendations. LLM-based and conversational recommendation. Recommendation in agentic workflows and compound AI systems. Other theoretical models and foundations of recommender systems. Foundation Models for IR (formerly "Machine Learning for IR" and "NLP for IR") Research that uses or adapts foundation models to advance information retrieval and access. We emphasize contributions where the retrieval or access problem drives the research, rather than general model papers evaluated on IR benchmarks. Topics include: Deep learning and representation learning for IR. Fine-tuning, distillation, and adaptation of foundation models for retrieval. Generative retrieval models (e.g., generative document IDs, direct answer generation with attribution). Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and retrieval-augmented reasoning. Reasoning-augmented retrieval (e.g., chain-of-thought for search, inference-time compute scaling). Reinforcement learning and learning from interactions for IR. Click models and implicit feedback. Question answering. Agentic IR (new — expanded from "Conversational or Agentic IR") Research on IR systems that autonomously plan, use tools, and execute multi-step information tasks with minimal user intervention: Tool-augmented and API-augmented retrieval. Multi-step search planning and execution. Autonomous web agents for information tasks. Agentic RAG, including orchestrating retrieval, reasoning, and action. Intelligent personal assistants and agents. Conversational IR Research on interactive, user-driven information access through multi-turn dialog: End-to-end conversational IR models and optimization. Session-based search and recommendation, user engagement. Conversational question answering, dialog systems, spoken language interfaces. Mixed-initiative interaction, when the system and user jointly steer the search process. Information Access through Generative AI (new) Research on how generative models are changing the way people find and access information, such as: Attribution, grounding, and source provenance in generative search. Retrieval as the grounding layer in generative AI systems. User information-seeking behavior in the era of answer engines (e.g., zero-click search, changing query patterns). Retrieval quality, ranking robustness, and credibility assessment in corpora with AI-generated content. Comparison and complementarity of retrieval-based and generation-based information access. Humans and Interfaces Research into user-centric aspects of IR including user interfaces, behavior modeling, privacy, interactive systems, such as: User studies, qualitative, and quantitative. User interfaces and visualization. Social and collaborative search. User modeling. Human-AI collaboration in IR and sensemaking. Datasets, Benchmarks, and Evaluation for IR Research that focuses on the measurement and evaluation of IR systems, such as: Benchmarks and test collections. User-centered evaluation. New methods for building data sets. Online evaluation. Evaluation frameworks for agentic and multi-step IR. Measuring groundedness, hallucination, and factual accuracy in generative retrieval. Evaluation of agentic IR systems (correctness, safety, cost, latency). Simulation for evaluation. Metrics and evaluation methodology. Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, Ethics, Safety, and Explainability (FATES) in IR (expanded) Research on FATES aspects and bias in search systems and related applications: Fairness, accountability, transparency and explainability. Ethics, economics, and politics. Adversarial robustness of retrieval-augmented and agentic systems. Misinformation, manipulation, and content integrity in AI-mediated search. Guardrails, alignment, and safety in agentic IR. Multi Modal IR Theoretical, algorithmic or novel practical solutions addressing problems across the domain of multimedia and IR, such as: Multimedia search and retrieval (e.g., image search, video search, speech and audio search, music search). Maps and spatial search. Multi-modal embeddings and cross-modal retrieval. Domain-Specific IR Applications Research focusing on domain-specific IR challenges, such as: Local and mobile search. Social search. Search in structured data. Education. Legal. Health. Scientific literature search and discovery. Other applications and domains. Other IR Topics Any IR research that does not fall into any of the areas above. For example, but not limited to: Information extraction and knowledge representation. Document representation and content analysis. Information security.
