<b>SCOPE</b><br>
<br>
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):<br>
<br>
• 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.<br>
• 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.<br>
• Computational Biology: DNA sequencing, assembly,
alignments, read error correction, metagenomics,
transcriptomics, gene and regulatory element recognition, motif
finding, pangenomics, variants discovery.<br>
<br>
<b>SUBMISSIONS</b><br>
<br>
SPIRE 2023 invites submissions in two categories:<br>
• Long papers: Up to 12 pages, excluding references and
optional appendices.<br>
• Short papers: Up to 6 pages, excluding references and
optional appendices.<br>
<br>
The reviewing process will be single-blind, namely, each
submission should not be anonymized.<br>
Submissions should be submitted electronically via EasyChair.<br>
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 on the Springer
Website and Overleaf. Please 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 are not permitted.<br>
The Best Paper Award (1,000 EUR prize supported by Springer)
will be given to the author(s) of the most outstanding work
presented at the conference.<br>
