Abstract

The Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users (IR4U2) serves as a platform to highlight information retrieval (IR) research that directly impacts often understudied user groups. The second IR4U2 workshop focuses on a user-centred AI perspective, which is vital for informing the design, development, and assessment of information retrieval systems that thoughtfully address the diverse needs of understudied populations, ensuring genuine accessibility and inclusivity. The objectives of IR4U2 are: (1) to build community and awareness by sharing AI and IR developments that serve underrepresented user groups in this research area; (2) to identify challenges and open issues along with lessons learned and challenges inherent to this area of research; and (3) to spark discussions that establish common frameworks for future research.
