=============================

SPIRE 2024 — First Call for papers

31st International Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval

September 23-25, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico


http://computo.fismat.umich.mx/spire2024/


The International Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval (SPIRE) will be held on the Pacific Ocean beach in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. Puerto Vallarta is a world-class tourist destination, with warm, sunny weather year-round, and a strategic location for all SPRIE attendees. Puerto Vallarta’s International Airport provides easy access worldwide (more than 200 weekly direct flights from 85 destinations).


SCOPE


SPIRE 2024 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

  *   Computational Biology: algorithms for DNA sequencing, assembly, alignments, read error correction, metagenomics, transcriptomics, gene and regulatory element recognition, motif finding, pangenomics, variants discovery, phylogenetics, genome rearrangements


SUBMISSIONS


SPIRE 2024 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.


Papers should be submitted electronically via EasyChair. The link will be published on the conference webpage soon. As in past editions, the proceedings of SPIRE 2024 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The use of 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.
