SIG-FIN メーリングリストの皆様

こんにちは。このたび ECIR 2026（オランダ・デフルト）において開催されます併設ワークショップの Late-breaking paper 投稿についてご案内させていただきます。ふるってご投稿ならびにご参加を検討ください。

Hello,

We are excited to invite you to submit late-breaking paper (up to two
pages) to IRAI 2026 - the First Workshop on Information Retrieval for
Accountability and Integrity, a half-day pilot workshop dedicated to
exploring how IR and NLP can help evaluate forward-looking statements,
verify commitments, and restore trust across public and private domains.

- What IRAI aims to do

Information systems shape public discourse, decisions, and trust-yet we
lack systematic ways to evaluate the accuracy of forward-looking
statements (e.g., campaign promises, corporate forecasts). Media
coverage is selective, standards are uneven, and the signal is buried in
noise. The result: accountability gaps and eroded confidence.

IRAI brings IR and NLP communities together to assess the fulfilment and
reliability of claims and commitments. It complements ECIR’s mission by
tackling a pressing, real-world challenge with societal impact.

- Aligned with the IR and NLP community

IRAI 2026 will be part of the European Conference on Information
Retrieval (ECIR) held in Delft on April, 2nd 2026 as it highlights
concrete applications for social good.
