The conference aims at bringing young researchers into contact with the industry at an early stage, emphasizing the applicability of IR solutions to real industry cases and the respective challenges. The Conference addresses 3 complementary research areas: * Information Retrieval * Machine Translation for search solutions * Interactive Information Access The Conference targets researchers who are interested in: * Learning about complementary technologies for the development of next generation search solutions * Applying their results to real business needs * Learning about the outcome of the international research network of the MUMIA Cost Action * Discussing results obtained by using the IRF or other public data resources All papers will undergo a review process with each paper being reviewed by at least three members of the programme committee. The proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series. All paper submissions must be written in English following the LNCS author guidelines and must be anonymized. We welcome three different types of submissions (Science, Industry, Tutorial). SCIENCE PAPERS For researchers and students in the fields of Information Retrieval, Machine Translation for Search Solutions and Interactive Information Access. Papers submitted must refer to novel, unpublished research. Full papers must not exceed 12 pages including references and figures. The reporting of negative experimental results is welcomed and detailed descriptions of proper scientific methodologies used highly encouraged. INDUSTRY PAPERS For developers and implementers of novel technology in the fields of Information Retrieval, Machine Translation for Search Solutions and Interactive Information Access. For business and industry representatives using IR technologies to search and analyse large quantities of information. Papers of this type should not exceed 4 pages including references and figures. TUTORIALS The goal of the IRFC2014 tutorials is to offer conference attendees a stimulating and informative selection of tutorials reflecting current topics in information retrieval and related areas. Proposals are invited for tutorials of half-day (3 hours plus breaks). Each tutorial should cover a single topic in detail on state-of-the-art methods in core information retrieval, related research or novel and emerging applications.
