Abstract
The first edition of the workshop on Generative Information Retrieval (Gen-IR 2023) took
place in July 2023 in a hybrid fashion, co-located with the ACM SIGIR Conference 2023 in
Taipei (SIGIR 2023). The aim was to bring information retrieval researchers together around
the topic of generative AI that gathered attention in 2022 and 2023 with large language
models and diffusion models. Given the novelty of the topic, the workshop was focused
around multi-sided discussions, namely panels and poster sessions of the accepted proceedings
papers. Two main research outcomes are the proceedings of the workshop1 and the potential
research directions discussed in this report.
