#ECIR2026 notifications part three:
3. Full paper "OrLog: Resolving Complex Queries with LLMs and Probabilistic Reasoning" with @mhoveyda, Jelle Piepenbrock, MdR and @fhasibi.
OrLog is a neuro-symbolic retrieval framework that combines LLM with probabilistic logic programming to resolve natural language queries with logical constraints by decoupling predicate-level plausibility estimation (=LLM) from logical reasoning (=ProbLog).
Revisit Van Rijsbergen's vision of logic for IR!

The Third International Workshop on Open Web Search (WOWS)
Organizers (from #OpenWebSearchEU):
Laura Caspari, Maik Fröbe @maik_froebe, Sebastian Heineking, Michael Granitzer, Gijs Hendriksen @gijs, Djoerd Hiemstra @djoerd, Martin Potthast @potthast, Arjen de Vries @arjen, and Saber Zerhoudi
(Quite some idf.social crowd :-))
Expect the CfP soon! We offer a new Web Test Collection drawn from Curlie.
