SCOPE
The purpose of the Italian Information Retrieval Workshop series (IIR) is to provide a meeting forum for stimulating and disseminating research in information retrieval and related areas, where Italian researchers as well as researchers affiliated with Italian institutions can network and discuss their research results in a productive and rather informal way.
HISTORY
The first four editions of the Italian Information Retrieval Workshop series took place in:
● Padova (2010, http://ims.dei.unipd.it/websites/iir10/)
● Milano (2011, http://www.ir.disco.unimib.it/iir2011/)

● PIsa (2013, http://iir2013.isti.cnr.it/).
TOPICS
Relevant topics for IIR-2014 include, but are not restricted to :
● Ranking (e.g., retrieval models, learning to rank, diversity, combining searches)
● Queries (e.g., query intent, query log analysis, query reformulation, question answering)
● Content analysis (e.g., document representation, information extraction, clustering, classification, sentiment analysis, cross-lingual IR)
● Efficiency (e.g., indexing, compression, distributed IR)
● Filtering (e.g., content-based filtering, collaborative filtering, recommender systems)
● Evaluation (e.g., test collections, effectiveness measures, experimental design)
● Users (e.g., user models, user studies, search interface, personalized search, human-computer IR);
● Web IR (e.g., link analysis, social network analysis, blog search, computational advertising);
● Multimedia IR (e.g., image search, video search, music IR);
● Structured IR (e.g., XML search, desktop search, entity search);
● Industrial applications (e.g. experiences in the domain of IR);
● Other applications (e.g., genomics IR, legal IR, mobile IR, patent search, digital libraries, IR for cultural heritage, enterprise search, geographic IR).
