Challenges in Document Mining (Dagstuhl Seminar 11171)

Authors: Hamish Cunningham, Norbert Fuhr, and Benno M. Stein

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 1, Issue 4 (2011)

Abstract
This report documents the programme and outcomes of the Dagstuhl Seminar 11171 "Challenges in Document Mining". Our starting point was the observation that document mining techniques are often applied in an isolated manner, with the consequence that their potential is still to be fully realised. The goal of the seminar was to analyze this untapped potential. To this end researchers from the main areas of document mining were invited to present their views, to synthesise an understanding of where and how the latest disciplinary achievements can be combined, and to develop a more integrative view on the state of the art and the prospects for future progress.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation - The Future of Search? (Dagstuhl Seminar 25391)

Authors: Matthias Hagen, Josiane Mothe, Smaranda Muresan, Martin Potthast, Min Zhang, Benno Stein, and Sebastian Heineking

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 15, Issue 9 (2026)

Abstract
Dagstuhl Seminar 25391 "Retrieval-Augmented Generation - The Future of Search?" was held in the week of September 21-26, 2025. Thirty-nine researchers, most of whom came from the fields of information retrieval and web search as well as natural language processing, were invited to share the latest developments in the area of retrieval-augmented generation and discuss its research agenda and future directions. The 5-day program of the seminar consisted of four introductory and background sessions, two short talks sessions about technology and demos, one industry talk session, one afternoon hackathon, and nine working groups and reporting sessions. The seminar also had three social events during the program. This report provides the executive summary, overview of invited talks, and findings from the five working groups which cover the potential and limitations, information behavior and result presentation, the system side, societal and ethical aspects, and the evaluation of retrieval-augmented generation. The ideas and findings presented in this report should serve as one of the main sources for diverse research programs on retrieval-augmented generation.

Conversational Agents: A Framework for Evaluation (CAFE) (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 24352)

Authors: Christine Bauer, Li Chen, Nicola Ferro, Norbert Fuhr, Avishek Anand, Timo Breuer, Guglielmo Faggioli, Ophir Frieder, Hideo Joho, Jussi Karlgren, Johannes Kiesel, Bart P. Knijnenburg, Aldo Lipani, Lien Michiels, Andrea Papenmeier, Maria Soledad Pera, Mark Sanderson, Scott Sanner, Benno Stein, Johanne R. Trippas, Karin Verspoor, and Martijn C. Willemsen

Published in: Dagstuhl Manifestos, Volume 11, Issue 1 (2025)

Abstract
During the workshop, we deeply discussed what CONversational Information ACcess (CONIAC) is and its unique features, proposing a world model abstracting it, and defined the Conversational Agents Framework for Evaluation (CAFE) for the evaluation of CONIAC systems, consisting of six major components: 1) goals of the system’s stakeholders, 2) user tasks to be studied in the evaluation, 3) aspects of the users carrying out the tasks, 4) evaluation criteria to be considered, 5) evaluation methodology to be applied, and 6) measures for the quantitative criteria chosen.

Framing in Communication: From Theories to Computation (Dagstuhl Seminar 22131)

Authors: Katarzyna Budzynska, Chris Reed, Manfred Stede, Benno Stein, and Zhang He

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 12, Issue 3 (2022)

Abstract
Framing has become recognised as a powerful communication strategy for winning debates and shaping opinions and decisions. Entman defines framing as an action of selecting "some aspects of a perceived reality and make them more salient in a communicating text, in such a way as to promote a particular problem definition, causal interpretation, moral evaluation, and/or treatment recommendation for the item described". Instead of engaging in costly and difficult exchanges of argument and counter-argument, a politician or a journalist can then try to reframe a dialogue on, for example, fracking from economic benefits to environmental hazards, or a dialogue on abortion from pro-life to pro-choice. Introduced in 1960’s sociology, framing has been imported into communication sciences and media studies as an attempt to address the ways in which news is reported and, thus, a way in which to tackle manipulation and fake news. The topic has spread to other disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, semantics, pragmatics, political science, journalism, and, most recently – to computational linguistics and artificial intelligence. This seminar aims to pave the way to synthesising definitions developed in these theoretically and empirically driven areas and then to operationalise them in computational and applied areas by means of cross-disciplinary hands-on exchanges in facilitated discussions. Our goal is to support the development of innovative technologies, which can help us to quantify framing phenomena, to study framing at scale, and to deploy computational techniques in order to intervene against malicious attempts to influence opinions and decisions of the general public.

Conversational Search (Dagstuhl Seminar 19461)

Authors: Avishek Anand, Lawrence Cavedon, Hideo Joho, Mark Sanderson, and Benno Stein

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 9, Issue 11 (2020)

Abstract
Dagstuhl Seminar 19461 "Conversational Search" was held on 10-15 November 2019. 44 researchers in Information Retrieval and Web Search, Natural Language Processing, Human Computer Interaction, and Dialogue Systems were invited to share the latest development in the area of Conversational Search and discuss its research agenda and future directions. A 5-day program of the seminar consisted of six introductory and background sessions, three visionary talk sessions, one industry talk session, and seven working groups and reporting sessions. The seminar also had three social events during the program. This report provides the executive summary, overview of invited talks, and findings from the seven working groups which cover the definition, evaluation, modelling, explanation, scenarios, applications, and prototype of Conversational Search. The ideas and findings presented in this report should serve as one of the main sources for diverse research programs on Conversational Search.

Authors: Iryna Gurevych, Eduard H. Hovy, Noam Slonim, and Benno Stein

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 5, Issue 12 (2016)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 15512 "Debating Technologies". The seminar brought together leading researchers from computational linguistics, information retrieval, semantic web, and database communities to discuss the possibilities, implications, and necessary actions for the establishment of a new interdisciplinary research community around debating technologies. 31 participants from 22 different institutions took part in sixteen sessions that included 34 talks, 13 themed discussions, three system demonstrations, and a hands-on “unshared” task.
