4th KidRec workshop - "what does good look like?": from design, research, and practice to policy

Data about people are constantly collected and stored to help understand patterns which can then be leveraged by information retrieval systems (IRS), such as search engines or recommender systems, to identify and rank resources that respond to diverse users' needs. As a significant group of technology users, children's data are also collected for IRS. In the 4th edition of our proposed workshop, we seek to continue to build professional community connected to children's IRS and expand on the framework identified in the 3rd KidRec that outlines how to evaluate good IRS. This time, we are particularly interested in exploring how design, research, and practice perspectives can cohesively define policy in this area.
