INFUSE is a full-day workshop on information access in uncertainty scenarios at the European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR '26). It aims to bring together the broader information retrieval community and researchers and practitioners from adjacent disciplines to discuss emerging challenges, share diverse perspectives, and explore novel approaches to information access in contexts of uncertainty.
People often encounter or seek information on issues for which there is no clear answer. For example, information may be scarce or nonexistent, as in data voids or unanswerable questions; knowledge might be evolving, as with current events, emerging topics, or rumours; or there may be multiple perspectives on an issue, as with debated topics.
We refer to these as uncertainty scenarios. In such scenarios, information access systems face various risks, including eliciting a false sense of information certainty and over-reliance, promoting misinformation and disinformation, or exposing users to viewpoint-biased information.
