Advances in Information Retrieval

The five-volume set LNCS 15572, 15573, 15574, 15575 and 15576 constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 47th European Conference on Information Retrieval, ECIR 2025, held in Lucca, Italy, during April 6 10, 2025.

The 52 full papers, 11 findings, 42 short papers and 76 papers of other types presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 530 submissions. The accepted papers cover the state-of-the-art in information retrieval and recommender systems: user aspects, system and foundational aspects, artificial intelligence and machine learning, applications, evaluation, new social and technical challenges, and other topics of direct or indirect relevance to search and recommendation.
