***************************************************************************************************************************
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Now in its sixth edition, the ROMCIR Workshop concerns providing information access systems to mitigate the human-generated or
AI-generated information disorder phenomenon concerning distinct domains. By "information disorder" we mean all forms of communication
pollution, from misinformation made out of ignorance, automatically built based on biased content, to intentional sharing of false content
(generated both manually and automatically).

In this context, all those approaches that aim to assess the factual accuracy (or other reliability-related relevance dimensions) of
information circulating online, and particularly on social media, find their place. This topic is very broad, as it concerns different contents
(e.g., Web pages, news, reviews, medical information, online accounts, etc.), different Web and social media platforms (e.g., microblogging
platforms, social networking services, social question-answering systems, etc.), different purposes (e.g., identifying false information,
accessing information based on its truthfulness, retrieving truthful information, hallucination detection, etc.), and different open issues
related in particular to AI (e.g., explainability of search results, assessment of the truthfulness of automatically generated content, 

generative models to support IRSs, etc.).

***************************************************************************************************************************
