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についてご案内させていただきます。SIG-FIN 研究会のトピックとの親和性が深いかと思いますので，ご興味のある方はぜひ投稿について検討いただけましたら幸いです。以下英文になりますが，ワークショップの詳細についてお知らせいたします。

We are excited to invite you to IRAI 2026 - the First Workshop on
Information Retrieval for Accountability and Integrity, a full-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 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.
