[Scope and Objectives]
xSIG (cross-disciplinary workshop on computing Systems, Infra-
structures, and programminG) is a workshop from 2017,
inheriting the tradition of JSPP,SACSIS,and ACSI. It solicits
contributions from a wide range of fields related to computing systems,
infrastructures, and programming, spanning all areas covered by the
sponsoring special interest groups (cross-SIG).
The main objectives of xSIG are to provide a forum to present and
discuss research ideas among researchers spanning many fields and to
raise young researchers through a globally standard peer review process.
In particular,
- We hope authors of xSIG workshop to advance their research based on
feedback received and step up to submitting their work to
international conferences and journals. We do not publish
workshop proceedings. The papers presented in xSIG will be available
only to the audience during the workshop. For those who want to
publish their work, we collaborate with IPSJ Transactions on ACS for
Special Issue on xSIG.
- We hope to give authors substantial feedback as well as a place for
young researchers to practice/improve writing papers for review,
through the globally standard conference format of submitting papers
for review, receiving/writing reviews, discussing papers in the
program committee meeting, etc. For this, we establish
Young Program Committee alongside the regular Program
Committee and welcome the participation of young researchers
including students to it, for "an early exposure" of motivated
students to peer review work normally done by senior researchers.
- We award many students.
From 2020, xSIG is co-located with SWoPP event (Summer United Workshops
on Parallel, Distributed and Cooperative Processing), in which many SIGs
on computing systems held workshops.
[About the fees of xSIG]
Until xSIG 2024, we have operated the xSIG using the surplus funds of its
predecessor, SACSIS. However, since the surplus has been almost completely
used up, we would like to ask sponsors and accepted authors to gradually cover
the costs of the xSIG. We plan to require payment of 10,000 yen per acceptance
via IPSJ My Page. We would appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the
continued implementation of the xSIG.

CALL FOR NTCIR-19 TASK PROPOSALS
Task Proposals Due: March 31, 2025 (AoE)
Submission Link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ntcir19proposal
*********************************************
We are delighted to announce the call for task proposals for NTCIR-19.
NTCIR (NII Testbeds and Community for Information Access Research) is a
series of evaluation conferences that mainly focus on information access
with East Asian languages and English. The first NTCIR conference (NTCIR-1)
took place in August/September 1999, and the latest NTCIR-18 conference
will be held on June 10-13, 2025. Research teams from all over the world
participate in one or more NTCIR tasks to advance the state of the art and
to learn from one another's experiences.
It is time to call for task proposals for the next NTCIR (NTCIR-19), which
will start in September 2025 and conclude in December 2026. Task proposals
will be reviewed by the NTCIR Program Committee, and organizers of accepted
tasks will have a chance to present their proposed tasks at the NTCIR-18
Conference held in NII, Tokyo, Japan, from June 10-13, 2025.
* IMPORTANT DATES:
*March 31, 2025: Task Proposal Submission Due (Anywhere on Earth) *May 15,
2025: Acceptance Notification of Task Proposals
June 10-13, 2025: NTCIR-18 Conference (Organizers of accepted tasks have a
chance to present their proposed tasks)
* SUBMISSION LINK:
*https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ntcir19proposal
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ntcir19proposal>*
* NTCIR-19 TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:
January 2026: Dataset release*
January-June 2026: Dry run*
March-July 2026: Formal run*
August 1, 2026: Evaluation results return

September 1, 2026: Submission due of participant papers (draft)
November 1, 2026: Camera-ready participant paper due
December 2026: NTCIR-19 Conference at NII, Tokyo, Japan
(* indicates that the schedule can be different for different tasks)
* WHO SHOULD SUBMIT NTCIR-19 TASK PROPOSALS?
We invite new task proposals within the expansive field of information
access. Organizing an evaluation task entails pinpointing significant
research challenges, strategically addressing them through collaboration
with fellow researchers (including co-organizers and participants),
developing the requisite evaluation framework to propel advancements in the
state of the art, and generating a meaningful impact on both the research
community and future developments.
Prospective applicants are urged to underscore the real-world applicability
of their proposed tasks by utilizing authentic data, focusing on practical
tasks, and solving tangible problems. Additionally, they should confront
challenges in evaluating information access technology, such as the
extensive number of assessments needed for evaluation, ensuring privacy
while using proprietary data, and conducting live tests with actual users.
In the era of large language models (LLMs), these models are anticipated to
significantly influence daily human activities. Nonetheless, the content
produced by LLMs often exhibits issues, such as hallucinations. NTCIR-19
encourages tasks that focus on the evaluation of the quality of content
generated by LLMs continued from NTCIR-18 as well as information access
exploiting LLMs, including generative information retrieval (IR), IR using
generative queries, conversational search using generated utterances,
evaluation using LLM (relevance judgements or language annotation using
LLM), and RAG.
* PROPOSAL TYPES:
We will accept two types of task proposals:
- Proposal of a Core task:
This is for fostering research on a particular information access problem
by providing researchers with a common ground for evaluation. New test
collections and evaluation methods may be developed through the
collaboration between task organizers (proposers) and task participants. At
NTCIR-18, the core tasks are AEOLLM, FairWeb-2, FinArg-2, Lifelog-6,
MedNLP-CHAT, RadNLP, and Transfer-2. Details can be found at
http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/NTCIR-18/tasks.html.
- Proposal of a Pilot task:
This is recommended for organizers who propose to focus on a novel
information access problem, and there are uncertainties either in task
design or organization. It may focus on a sub-problem of an information
access problem and attract a smaller group of participating teams than core
tasks. However, it may grow into a core challenging task in the next round
of NTCIR. At NTCIR-18, the pilot tasks are HIDDEN-RAD, SUSHI, and U4.
Details can be found at http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/NTCIR-18/tasks.html.
Organizers are expected to run their tasks mainly with their own funding
and to make the task as self-sustaining as possible. A part of the fund can
be supported by NTCIR, which is called "seed funding." It is usually used
for some limited purposes such as hiring relevance assessors. The seed
funding allocated to each task varies depending on requirements and the
number of accepted tasks. Typical cases would be around 1M JPY for a core
task and around 0.5M JPY for a pilot task (note that the amount is subject
to change).
Please submit your task proposal as a PDF file via EasyChair by March 31,
2025 (Anywhere on Earth).
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ntcir19proposal
* TASK PROPOSAL FORMAT:
The proposal should not exceed four pages in A4 single-column format. The
first three pages should contain the main part and appendix, and the last
page should contain only a description of the data to be used in the task.
Please describe the data in as much detail as possible so that we can help
your data release process after the proposal is accepted. In the past
NTCIRs, it took much time to create memorandums for data release, which
sometimes slowed down the task organization.

In today’s data-driven world, isolated datasets provide only
fragmented insights.
The ability to integrate and analyze data across different sources, domains, and
platforms is crucial for solving complex real-world problems. From cross-modal
retrieval systems (e.g., text-to-image search) to predicting air
quality with lifelogging
images, cross-data methodologies are revolutionizing research in
fields like well-being,
disaster prevention, mobility, climate change, tourism, healthcare,
and food computing.
* Topics of Interest
We welcome interdisciplinary contributions, including but not limited to:
- Event-driven cross-data technologies – retrieval, data mining, and
AI-powered insights.
- Complex event processing – linking sensor data across multiple scales.
- Transfer learning & transformer models – knowledge transfer across
diverse data.
- Hypothesis-driven analytics – uncovering associations within
heterogeneous datasets.
- Cross-dataset experimentation – ensuring reproducibility and scalability.
- Privacy-preserving data collaboration – balancing accessibility & security.
- Federated learning for cross-data – decentralized AI methodologies.
- Psycholinguistic components in cross-data analysis – exploring
language processing,
sentiment analysis, and cognitive modeling in multimodal data.
- Influence of cognitive and linguistic factors in data perception and
interpretation.
- Applications of intelligent cross-data analysis in key domains.
