SCOPE

SPIRE 2023 covers research in all aspects of string processing, 
information retrieval, computational biology, and related applications. 
Typical topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

     •    String Processing: ​ string pattern matching, text indexing, 
data structures for string processing, text compression, compressed data 
structures, compressed string processing, text mining, 2D pattern 
matching, automata based string processing, combinatorics on words.
     •    Information Retrieval: Web search. Retrieval models and 
ranking. Theoretical models and foundations of information retrieval and 
access. Efficiency and scalability, e.g., efficient data structures for 
IR, indexing, etc. Queries and query analysis. Content analysis for 
search. Knowledge acquisition. Machine Learning and Natural Language 
Processing for search, e.g., Core ML, Question answering, Conversational 
systems, Explicit semantics. Knowledge representation and reasoning. 
User-centric aspects of IR including user interfaces, behavior modeling, 
privacy, and interactive systems. Evaluation. Fairness, accountability, 
transparency. Domain-specific applications, e.g., local and mobile 
search, social search, multimedia search, health, digital libraries, etc.
     •    Computational Biology: DNA sequencing, assembly, alignments, 
read error correction, metagenomics, transcriptomics, gene and 
regulatory element recognition, motif finding, pangenomics, variants 
discovery.

SUBMISSIONS

SPIRE 2023 invites submissions in two categories:
     •    Long papers: Up to 12 pages, excluding references and optional 
appendices.
     •    Short papers: Up to 6 pages, excluding references and optional 
appendices.

The reviewing process will be single-blind, namely each submission 
should not be anonymized.
Submissions should be submitted electronically via EasyChair.
As in past editions, the proceedings of SPIRE 2023 will be published by 
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The use 
of either LaTeX or Word LNCS templates is mandatory. Suitable templates 
are available at the Springer Website and on Overleaf. Do not change the 
margin size or the font, do not make a separate title page, etc.: use 
the LNCS style file as given. Simultaneous submissions to other 
conferences with published proceedings is not permitted.
The Best Paper Award (1000 EUR prize supported by Springer) will be 
given to the author(s) of the most outstanding work presented at the 
conference.
