This volume contains the working notes of the evaluation tracks organized as part of the Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE). Continuing the tradition of FIRE, the shared tasks promote evaluation-driven research in information retrieval and natural language processing across diverse languages, domains, and real-world settings. Call for tracks: Since its inception in 2008, FIRE had a strong focus on shared tasks similar to those ofered at Evaluation forums like TREC, CLEF, and NTCIR. The shared tasks focus on solving specific problems in the area information access and, more importantly help in generating evaluation datasets for the research community. It is not required for the tasks to focus on a specific language, and they can broadly cover any problem in the fields related (but not limited) to IR, NLP, multi-modal information access, and ML. However, the organizers especially encourage proposals for tracks related to South Asian, African, and Middle Eastern languages. In the past, FIRE has hosted tracks from Arabic, Persian, German, Russian, and Urdu languages besides several Indian languages. We aim to continue these eforts and include more language groups from these regions.
