JEDI Workshop

JEDI SEIZE: SEIZE THE MEANS OF RETRIEVAL Website: jedi.inertial.science/seize/ Our proposal for a new initiative aiming to build a community of researchers and practitioners interested in realizing public information access platforms has been accepted for SIGIR Futures (sigir.org/futures/). 🎉🎉🎉

Last week I presented a keynote at #SIGIR2026 titled "Emancipatory Information Retrieval: Towards Critical IR Theories and Practices". Slides: bhaskar-mitra.github.io/files/emanci... I went in nervously excited but several people appreciated talking openly about this topic. A quick thread. 🧵 1/

Deadline extension! We are extending the AltRecSys deadline for #RecSys2026 to **July 31**. Submit your strangest ideas! altrecsys.github.io/recsys26/

Worried about corporate and authoritarian capture of our IR platforms? Do you wish IR platforms could support our pursuit for justice, emancipation, and democracy? If you are at #SIGIR2026, join us at the JEDI workshop on Friday. Let's work together to make it real! jedi.inertial.science/sigir2026/

Looking forward to continuing the conversation on Friday at the Justice, Emancipation, Democracy, and Information Access (JEDI) Workshop. Please join us! jedi.inertial.science/sigir2026/ cc: @jedi-workshop.bsky.social

I had a wonderful chat with @bmitra.bsky.social about the promising potential of atproto for creating emancipatory information access systems - check out @jedi-workshop.bsky.social and arxiv.org/abs/2601.09600 So much valuable know-how that would be amazing to apply for search/IR on atproto ✨ >
