FIRE 2024

The 16th meeting of Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation will be held at DA-IICT, Gandhinagar, India. FIRE was started in 2008 with the aim of building a South Asian counterpart for TREC, CLEF, and NTCIR. It has since evolved continuously to support and encourage research within the information retrieval community and has acted as a unique platform to foster interaction between the researchers of academia and industry. FIRE has continuously adapted to meet the new challenges in multilingual information access and frameworks for large-scale evaluation of information retrieval methods, primarily focusing on text.

In its 16th year, FIRE will continue with the peer-reviewed conference track, shared tasks, industry track, and doctoral consortium. The peer-reviewed conference track aims to encourage novel research among early-stage researchers. The shared tasks aim to bolster research in IR and NLP among the larger research community. The industry track aims to provide the audience with a view of the application of IR research in the industry. The doctoral consortium aims to provide a platform for PhD scholars working in this field and support them through mentorship to improve their research.
