Dear all,

We are pleased to invite submissions to SIGIR-AP 2026, the 4th ACM SIGIR Conference on Information Retrieval in the Asia Pacific, which will be held in Singapore, 13–15 December 2026. The conference will be organized in a hybrid format, supporting both in-person and remote participation.

As the premier ACM-sponsored forum for Information Retrieval (IR) research in the Asia-Pacific region, SIGIR-AP brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders working on cutting-edge topics in:

• Search and Ranking
• System, Efficiency and Scalability
• Recommender Systems
• Machine Learning for IR
• Natural Language Processing for IR
• Conversational or Agentic IR
• Humans and Interfaces for IR
• Datasets, Benchmarks, and Evaluations for IR
• Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, Ethics, and Explainability (FATE) in IR
• Multi Modal IR
• Domain-Specific IR Applications
• Other IR Topics

SIGIR-AP adopts the same broad research scope as the flagship ACM SIGIR conference and welcomes high-quality contributions related to all aspects of information retrieval and access. Tutorials and workshops will be held on the first day, followed by the main conference program.

This is an excellent opportunity to share your latest research, connect with the international IR community, and engage with leading experts from academia and industry.
