Common use of Research Challenges Clause in Contracts

Research Challenges. Conversational IR systems can be seen as a federation of agents or subsystems, but they will also be inherently complex systems, with models that will reach beyond the boundaries of individual components. With that will arise challenges such as how to bootstrap such systems with reasonable effort, how to ensure they are responsive as a whole, how to perform component-wise diagnosis, and at what level to consider their robustness. Ethical challenges arising across the field of information retrieval, such as trust in information, biases, and transparency, will likely be exacerbated by the inherent narrowing of the communica- tion channel between the systems with their users.
