KEIR @ ECIR 2024: The First Workshop on Knowledge-Enhanced Information Retrieval

The infusion of external knowledge bases into IR models can provide enhanced ranking results and greater interpretability, offering substantial advancements in the field. The first workshop on Knowledge-Enhanced Information Retrieval (KEIR @ ECIR 2024) will serve as a platform to bring together researchers from academia and industry to explore and discuss various aspects of knowledge-enhanced information retrieval systems, such as models, techniques, data collection and evaluation. The workshop aims to not only deliberate upon the advantages and hurdles intrinsic to the development of knowledge-enhanced pretrained language models, IR models and recommendation models but also to facilitate in-depth discussions concerning the same.
