Recorded live at the Singapore Expo, Singapore Tue, 27 Jan 2026 As part of the AAAI 2026 New Frontiers in IR (https://frontier-ir-workshop.github.io/) Slides available at https://soc-n.us/270127-top-five-ir Video available at https://soc-n.us/270127-top-five-ir-yt What are the likely trends in the future of information retrieval for 2026? I discuss five trends, give evidence for their provenance and impact, but you will have heard about many of these trends from previous speakers. Paradoxically, it may be better for some in the field not to follow these trends and I discuss why.
