In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the field of Information Retrieval (IR) stands at the intersection of traditional search methodologies and cutting-edge machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies. As we witness the proliferation of generative AI-driven models, such as diffusion and large language models, it becomes increasingly evident that the boundaries of IR research are expanding. We are hosting a two-day visioning workshop following the ACM SIGIR 2024 conference to explore this dynamic landscape, and anticipate future societal impact and needs.
