ROMCIR 2022: Overview of the 2nd Workshop on Reducing Online Misinformation through Credible Information Retrieval

The ROMCIR 2022 workshop is focused on discussing and addressing issues related to information disorder, a new term that holistically encompasses all forms of communication pollution. In particular, the aim of ROMCIR is reducing such clutter, from false content to incorrect correlations, from misinformation to disinformation, through Information Retrieval solutions, by providing users with access to genuine information. This topic is very broad, as it concerns different contents (e.g., Web pages, news, reviews, medical information, online accounts, etc.), different Web and social media platforms (e.g., microblogging platforms, social networking services, social question-answering systems, etc.), and different purposes (e.g., identifying false information, accessing and retrieving information based on its genuineness, providing explainable solutions to users, etc.). Therefore, interdisciplinary input to ROMCIR is more than welcome.
