[Alba García]

*CLEF 2025 Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum*
*9-12 September 2025, Madrid, Spain*

CLEF 2025 is the 16th CLEF conference continuing the popular CLEF
campaigns which have run since 2000 contributing to the systematic
evaluation of information access systems, primarily through
experimentation on shared tasks.

The CLEF Conference addresses all aspects of Information Access in any
modality and language. The CLEF conference consists of presentation of
research papers and a series of workshops presenting the results of
lab-based comparative evaluation benchmarks.

*Good To Know*
-------------
The CLEF 2025 Conference welcomes papers in the Information Access
domain that describe rigorous
hypothesis testing regardless of whether the results are positive or
negative. Each submission is reviewed in two stages, see more details

6 May 2025: Abstract submission of Long, Short, Best of 2024 Labs Papers
13 May 2025: Full paper submission deadline (Long, Short, Best of 2024 Labs)
10 June 2025: Notification of acceptance (Long, Short, Best of Labs)
23 June 2025: Camera-ready version due
9-12 September 2025: Conference

   - Information access in any language or modality: information
retrieval, image
   retrieval, question answering, search interfaces and design,
infrastructures,
   etc.
   - Analytics for information retrieval: theoretical and practical results in
   the analytics field that are specifically targeted for information access
   data analysis, data enrichment, etc.
   - Reproducibility and replicability issues: analyses of past
results/run deep
   analysis both statistically and fine grain based.
   - Language diversity: work on low-resource languages.
   - Models leveraging collaborative and social data and their evaluation.
   - User studies either based on lab studies or crowdsourcing.
   - Evaluation initiatives: conclusions, lessons learned, impact and
projection
   of any evaluation initiative after completing their cycle.
   - Evaluation: methodologies, metrics, statistical and analytical
tools, component
   based, user groups and use cases, ground-truth creation, impact of
   multilingual/multicultural/multimodal differences, etc.
   - Technology transfer: economic impact/sustainability of information access
   approaches, deployment and exploitation of systems, use cases, etc.
   - Interactive and Conversational Information Retrieval evaluation:
the interactive/conversational
   evaluation of information retrieval systems using user-centered methods,
   evaluation of novel search interfaces, novel interactive/conversational
   evaluation methods, simulation of interaction/conversation, etc.
   - Specific application domains: information access and its
evaluation in application
   domains such as cultural heritage, digital libraries, social media,
   health information, legal documents, patents, news, books, and in the
   form of text, audio and/or image data.
   - New data collection: presentation of new data collections with potential
   high impact on future research, specific collections from companies or
   labs, multilingual collections.
