GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Now in its sixth edition, the ROMCIR Workshop concerns providing 
information access systems to mitigate the human-generated or 
AI-generated information disorder phenomenon concerning distinct 
domains. By "information disorder" we mean all forms of communication 
pollution, from misinformation made out of ignorance, automatically 
built based on biased content, to intentional sharing of false content 
(generated both manually and automatically).

In this context, all those approaches that aim to assess the factual 
accuracy (or other reliability-related relevance dimensions) of 
information circulating online, and particularly on social media, find 
their place. This topic is very broad, as it concerns different contents 
(e.g., Web pages, news, reviews, medical information, online accounts, 
etc.), different Web and social media platforms (e.g., microblogging 
platforms, social networking services, social question-answering 
systems, etc.), different purposes (e.g., identifying false information, 
accessing information based on its truthfulness, retrieving truthful 
information, hallucination detection, etc.), and different open issues 
related in particular to AI (e.g., explainability of search results, 
assessment of the truthfulness of automatically generated content, 
generative models to support IRSs, etc.).
***************************************************************************************************************************
