Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Context awareness has always been critical in intelligent information retrieval. This is especially critical for retrieval methods powered by generative AI models that fundamentally rely on the interpretation of the context to adapt the generated content to the user-specific needs or application-specific environment. Examples of context-sensitive retrieval applications include sector-specific conversational agents, the augmentation of media with audio-visual effects, boosting information retrieval with NLP-enabled applications, and enhancing systems using AI-enabled techniques. This Special Issue invites research papers promoting the interpretation and incorporation of context related to user and data engineering, interaction, and application domains in order to advance intelligent information retrieval.
Submissions from scientists and academics from across the world are welcome.
