Call for Papers ROMCIR 2025 @ ECIR: The 5th International Workshop on Reducing Online Misinformation through Credible Information Retrieval
ROMCIR 2025: The 5th International Workshop on Reducing Online Misinformation through Credible Information Retrieval
Co-located with ECIR 2025: The 47th European Conference on Information Retrieval
Lucca, Italy | April 10, 2025
Workshop website: https://romcir.disco.unimib.it
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=romcir2025 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The fifth edition of ROMCIR concerns providing access to users to (topically) relevant and factually accurate information, 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 can serve to assess the factual accuracy of information circulating online and in social media in particular 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, 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.).
**************************************************************************************************** THEMES
The themes of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Access to and retrieval of truthful information * Bot/spam/troll detection * Computational fact-checking * Credibility assessment of online documents * Crowdsourcing for information truthfulness assessment * Disinformation/misinformation/bias detection * Evaluation strategies to assess information truthfulness * Generative models and information truthfulness assessment * Human-in-the-loop misinformation detection * Information polarization in online communities, echo chambers * Propaganda identification/analysis * Retrieval of credible and truthful information * Security, privacy, and information truthfulness * Societal reaction to misinformation * Stance detection * Trust and reputation
Data-driven approaches, supported by publicly available datasets, are more than welcome.
**************************************************************************************************** CONTRIBUTIONS
The Workshop solicits the sending of two types of contributions relevant to the Workshop and suitable to generate discussion:
* Original, unpublished contributions (pre-prints submitted to ArXiv are eligible) that will be included in an open-access post-proceedings volume of CEUR Workshop Proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org/), indexed by both Scopus and DBLP. * Already published or preliminary work that will not be included in the post-proceedings volume.
All submissions will undergo SINGLE-BLIND peer review by the Program Committee.
Submissions are to be done electronically through the EasyChair at:
