SIGIR '24: Proceedings of the 47th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval
Welcome to the 47th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval (SIGIR 2024), taking place in Washington D.C., USA, from July 14 to 18, 2024.
SIGIR serves as the foremost international forum for the presentation of groundbreaking research findings, the demonstration of innovative systems and techniques, and the exploration of forwardthinking research directions in the field of information retrieval.
This year's SIGIR is an in-person conference. We believe that an in-person conference is beneficial for several reasons: it fosters direct engagement and networking opportunities, enhances the exchange of research ideas, contributes to a more dynamic and productive conference experience, and nurtures our research community by welcoming newcomers, providing them with the opportunity to become acquainted with SIGIR traditions. This decision has not been made lightly. We understand the challenges that can pose in the aftermath of a pandemic and amidst the uncertainties of the world around us. To accommodate those who cannot attend, we have implemented a series of measures such as proxy presenters, livestreaming, and recording sessions. These steps are taken to ensure that everyone has access to the valuable content that the conference offers.
