Augmented Intelligence for Technology-Assisted Reviews Systems

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to the second edition of the workshop on Augmented Intelligence in Technology-Assisted Review Systems (ALTARS 2023) that was held in Dublin during the 45th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR).

The focus of the Special Issue is on the evaluation of high-recall information retrieval (IR) systems. This type of system is challenging they are confronted with the task of finding all the relevant documents concerning a topic in a collection.

The aim is to study innovative approaches to fathom the effectiveness of these systems, with the goal of:

- Fostering cross-discipline collaborations between researchers with different perspectives and research backgrounds in the TAR systems;

- Combining and analyzing existing theoretical and empirical research questions;

- Creating a set of shared datasets dedicated to the evaluation of TAR systems.
