The 3rd Open Interdisciplinary MUMIA Conference and 7th Information Retrieval Facility 2014 provides once again a multidisciplinary scientific forum for researchers in Information Retrieval and related areas. The conference aims at bringing young researchers into contact with the industry at an early stage, emphasizing the applicability of IR solutions to real industry cases and the respective challenges.

• Information Retrieval
• Machine Translation for search solutions
• Interactive Information Access

• Learning about complementary technologies for the development of next generation search solutions
• Applying their results to real business needs
• Learning about the results of the international research network of the MUMIA Cost Action
• Discussing results obtained by using the IRF or other public data resources

All papers will undergo a review process with each paper being reviewed by at least three members of the programme committee.

All submissions must be written in English following the LNCS author guidelines and must be anonymized. Submission of papers is thorugh EasyChair. We welcome three different types of submissions (Science, Industry, Tutorial).

For researchers and students in the fields of Information Retrieval, Machine Translation for Search Solutions and Interactive Information Access. Papers submitted must refer to novel, unpublished research. Full papers must not exceed 12 pages including references and figures. The reporting of negative experimental results is welcomed and detailed descriptions of proper scientific methodologies used highly encouraged.

For developers and implementers of novel technology in the fields of Information Retrieval, Machine Translation for Search Solutions and Interactive Information Access. For business and industry representatives using IR technologies to search and analyse large quantities of information. Papers of this type should not exceed 4 pages including references and figures.

The goal of the IRFC2014 tutorials is to offer conference attendees a stimulating and informative selection of tutorials reflecting current topics in information retrieval and related areas. Proposals are invited for tutorials of half-day (3 hours plus breaks). Each tutorial should cover a single topic in detail on state-of-the-art methods in core information retrieval, related research or novel and emerging applications. Tutorial proposals should not exceed 4 pages including references and figures.
