FACTS-IR 2019
FACTS-IR Workshop

Workshop website: https://fate-events.github.io/facts-ir/

This workshop explores challenges in responsible information retrieval system development and deployment. The focus will be on determining actionable research agendas on five key dimensions of responsible information retrieval: fairness, accountability, confidentiality, transparency, and safety. Rather than just a mini-conference, this workshop will be an event during which participants will also be expected to work. The workshop aims to bring together a diverse set of researchers and practitioners interested in helping to develop the technical research agenda for responsible information retrieval.

The full-day workshop will be organized in two parts:

• The first half-day will include presentations, based on the accepted papers by our PC members
• For the second half-day, participants will be organized in working groups and tasked with articulating a research agenda for one of the FACTS-IR topics (Fairness, Accountability, Confidentiality, Transparency, and Safety)

To ensure that the working groups in the second part of the workshop will be productive, we may cap the number of participants.
