ACM RecSys 2023 - Call for RecSys Challenge 2023

by acmrecsys＠gmail.com

* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * * For the online version of this Call, visit: https://recsys.acm.org/recsys23/challenge/ * The RecSys 2023 Challenge will be organized by Rahul Agarwal and Sarang Brahme (ShareChat), Abhishek Srivastava (IIM Visakhapatnam, India), Liu Yong (Huawei, Singapore) and Athirai Irissappane (Amazon, USA) based on the data provided by ShareChat. This year’s challenge will focus on online advertising, improving deep funnel optimization, and user privacy. Online advertising has been a multi-billion-dollar industry since the early 2000 and has played a significant role in the growth of the internet. The key advantage of online advertising over conventional mass advertising is its inherent ability to personalize to users, democratizing advertising and enabling businesses of all sizes to participate, and providing the measurable impact of money spent to the advertisers. Over the past two decades, the nature of online advertising has also evolved tremendously from pure banner-based advertising, where advertisers were charged based on the number of ad impressions, to deep funnel optimizations, where advertisers can optimize for eventual sales. The efficacy of deep funnel optimization required extensive personalization and opened up rich problems in real-time auction design, large-scale machine learning, modeling delayed feedback, and behavioral understanding. As these systems matured, we also started developing a rich understanding of the need to preserve user privacy, ensure AI fairness, and prevent adversarial exploitation of the platform. In this challenge, we aim to provide a real-world ad dataset from the Sharechat and Moj apps to act as a benchmark for research into deep funnel optimization with a focus on user privacy. As part of the challenge, ShareChat will be releasing an anonymized dataset corresponds to roughly 10M random users who visited the ShareChat + Moj app over three months. A detailed description of the challenge is available on the website of the RecSys Challenge 2023 (http://www.recsyschallenge.com/2023/). Accepted contributions will be presented at the RecSys Challenge Workshop during the 17th ACM Recommender Systems Conference in September 2023 at Singapore.

ACM RecSys 2023 - Second Call for Reproducibility Papers

by acmrecsys＠gmail.com

** We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP ** ** For the online version of this Call, visit: https://recsys.acm.org/recsys23/call/reproducibility ** The reproducibility of empirical results is a cornerstone of scientific research and a prerequisite to ensure continuous progress in our field. ACM RecSys ‘23 therefore strongly encourages submissions which repeat or analyze prior works in similar or alternative settings or which contribute to an increased level of reproducibility in the future. Types of papers We encourage the submission of different types of papers, including: * Reproducibility papers,which analyze prior works in different contexts, e.g., in different domains, with different datasets, compared to different baselines. * Resource papers that provide the foundation for future reproducibility, e.g., in terms of new datasets or open-source software frameworks for the evaluation of recommender systems. * Methodology papers, which for example propose novel offline evaluation protocols or provide validated measurement scales for user-centric evaluations of recommendations. * Reflective works, such as guidelines for reproducibility, surveys of reproducibility levels, or theoretical reflections on our research methodology. Other types of submissions related to the wider topic of reproducibility in recommender systems are welcome as well. Please reach out to the track chairs at reproducibility2023(a)recsys.acm.org in advance in case you are not sure if your work could be a match for the reproducibility track. Submission and reviewing Similar to the main track of ACM RecSys ‘23 the review process is double-blind. Submissions therefore must not include the author names and affiliations, and the code/data repositories should be set up to maintain anonymity as well. We expect authors to provide all relevant materials that are needed to fully assess the validity of the submission. In case of reproducibility studies involving computational experiments, this would for example include all code, data, and installation instructions that are needed to re-execute the experiments that are reported in the paper. Each paper will be reviewed by members of the programme committee of the track. The review criteria, among others, will include the following specific aspects: * Novelty: What is new about the reported findings or insights? * Impact: What is the expected impact of the reported findings or insights? * Reliability: Is the work technically sound? * Availability: Is the submitted work well documented and repeatable? Each accepted paper will be included in the conference proceedings, and a selected number of papers will be presented in a plenary session as part of the main conference program. We encourage authors to create a companion website that hosts all relevant material. Submission Guidelines We accept long papers of up to 14 pages (excluding references) and short papers of up to 7 pages (excluding references) in ACM’s new single-column format, corresponding to the categories of the call for papers for the main track. The length of a submission should be commensurate with its contribution. It is expected that at the time of submission, code and datasets used to reproduce the experiments will be available under reasonably liberal terms and sufficiently well-documented such that reviewers may consult that documentation as they conduct their reviews. SUBMISSION SYSTEM Papers must be submitted via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=acmrecsys2023reprodu. Note that papers intended for the main track of ACM RecSys 2023 should be submitted to a different EasyChair installation. IMPORTANT DATES * Abstract submission deadline: April 14th, 2023 * Paper submission deadline: April 21st, 2023 * Author notification: June 28th, 2023 * Camera-ready version deadline: July 26th, 2023 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone. PAPER FORMATTING ACM’s archival publication format separates content from presentation in the Digital Library to enhance accessibility and improve the flexibility and resiliency of our publications. Following the ACM publication workflow, all authors should submit manuscripts for review in a single-column format. Instructions for Word and LaTeX authors are given below: * Microsoft Word: Write your paper using the Submission Template (Review Submission Format). Follow the embedded instructions to apply the paragraph styles to your various text elements. The text is in single-column format at this stage and no additional formatting is required at this point. * LaTeX: Please use the latest version of the Primary Article Template – LaTeX to create your submission. You must use the “manuscript” option with the \documentclass[manuscript, anonymous]{acmart} command to generate the output in a single-column format which is required for review. Please see the LaTeX documentation and ACM’s LaTeX best practices guide for further instructions. To ensure 100% compatibility with The ACM Publishing System (TAPS), please restrict the use of packages to the whitelist of approved LaTeX packages. Authors are strongly encouraged to provide “alt text” (alternative text) for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that readers with disabilities can be given descriptive information for these floats that are important to the work. The descriptive text will be displayed in place of a float if the float cannot be loaded. This benefits the author as well as it broadens the reader base for the author’s work. Moreover, the alt text provides in-depth float descriptions to search engine crawlers, which helps to properly index these floats. Additionally, authors should follow the ACM Accessibility Recommendations for Publishing in Color and SIG ACCESS guidelines on describing figures. Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions above, please contact support at acmtexsupport(a)aptaracorp.com for both LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries. Accepted papers will be later submitted to ACM’s new production platform where authors will be able to review PDF and HTML output formats before publication. ANONYMITY The peer review process is mutually anonymous (double-blind). This means that all submissions must not include information identifying the authors or their organization. Specifically, do not include the authors’ names and affiliations, refer to your previous work in the third person (e.g., “Zhang and Di Noia (2023) recommended that RecSys submissions be anonymized by referring to the authors’ prior work in the third person.”), and avoid providing any other information that would allow reviewers to identify the authors, such as acknowledgments of individuals and funding sources. However, it is acceptable to explicitly refer in the paper to the companies or organizations that provided datasets, hosted experiments or deployed solutions if there is no implication that the authors are currently affiliated with the mentioned organization. Reviewers are instructed not to search for tech reports, pre-prints, and other information about your research. Your responsibility is focused on making sure that the paper submission itself does not reveal your identity as author. ETHICAL REVIEW FOR HUMAN-SUBJECTS RESEARCH ACM RecSys expects all authors to comply with ethical and regulatory guidelines associated with human subjects research, including research involving human participants and research using personally identifiable data. Papers reporting on such human subjects research must include a statement identifying any regulatory review the research is subject to (and identifying the form of approval provided), or explaining the lack of required review. Reviewers will be asked to consider whether the research was conducted in compliance with applicable ethical and regulatory guidelines. We encourage authors to consider further ethical implications and broader impacts of their work, and to discuss these in an appropriate section of their papers; “A Guide to Writing the NeurIPS Impact Statement” provides non-binding guidance on some of the kinds of things authors may wish to consider. ORIGINALITY Each paper should not be previously published or accepted to any peer-reviewed journal or conference, nor currently under review elsewhere (including as another paper submission for RecSys 2023). Papers published in workshop proceedings may only be submitted if the RecSys submission includes at least 30% new content; such papers must also reference the original workshop paper on the submission form (but not in the anonymized paper). PLAGIARISM Plagiarized papers will not be accepted for RecSys 2023. Our committees will be checking the plagiarism level of all submitted papers to ensure content originality using an automated tool. If you reuse non-novel text from a prior publication (e.g., the description of an algorithm or dataset), please be sure to cite the prior publication as the source of that text. If you have questions about reuse of text or simultaneous submission, please contact the program chairs at least one week prior to the submission deadline. Please refer to the ACM Publishing License Agreement and Authorship Policy for further details. Papers violating any of the above guidelines are subject to rejection without review and cases may be referred to the ACM Publications Ethics and Plagiarism committee for further action where warranted. PATENTING Please take note that the official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. SIGCHI Submitter Agreement RecSys 2023 is a SIGCHI conference and making a submission to a SIGCHI conference is a serious matter. Submissions require time and effort by SIGCHI volunteers to organize and manage the reviewing process, and, if the submission is accepted, the publication and presentation process. Thus, anyone who submits to RecSys 2023 implicitly confirms the following statements: 1. I confirm that this submission is the work of myself and my co-authors. 2. I confirm that I or my co-authors hold copyright to the content, and have obtained appropriate permissions for any portions of the content that are copyrighted by others. 3. I confirm that any research reported in this submission involving human subjects has gone through the appropriate approval process at my institution. 4. I confirm that if this paper is accepted, I or one of my co-authors will present the paper at the conference, either in person or through a conference-designated remote presentation option. Papers that are not presented at the conference by an author may be removed from the proceedings at the discretion of the program chairs.

ACM RecSys 2023 - Second Call for Papers

by acmrecsys＠gmail.com

** We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP ** ** For the online version of this Call, visit: https://recsys.acm.org/recsys23/call/papers ** We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the 17th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2023), the premier venue for research on the foundations and applications of recommendation technologies. The upcoming RecSys conference will be held on September 18–22, 2023 in Singapore, with an inclusive format that accommodates remote attendance. Each accepted paper is expected to be presented in person. The conference will continue RecSys’ tradition of connecting researchers, practitioners, and students to exchange ideas, frame problems, and share solutions across a range of specialties concerned with recommendation. All accepted papers will be published by ACM. We invite submissions of original research on all aspects of recommender systems, including contributions to: algorithms ranging from collaborative filtering to knowledge-based reasoning or deep learning; design ranging from studies of human preferences and decision-making to novel interaction design; systems including practical issues of scale and deployment; applications that bring forward the lessons of innovative applications across various domains from e-commerce to education to social connections; scientific inquiry on fundamental dynamics and impact of recommender systems. We welcome new research on recommendation technologies coming from diverse communities ranging from psychology to mathematics. In particular, we care as much about the human and economic impact of these systems as we care about their underlying algorithms. We encourage research papers coming from industry that focus on open challenges in their specific environment. Topics of interest for RecSys 2023 include but are not limited to (alphabetically ordered): * Algorithm scalability, performance, and implementations * Bias, fairness, bubbles, and ethics of recommender systems * Case studies of real-world implementations * Conversational and natural language recommender systems * Cross-domain recommendation * Data characteristics and processing challenges underlying recommender systems * Economic models and consequences of recommender systems * Interfaces for recommender systems * Multi-stakeholder recommendations * New aspects of recommender systems evaluation * Novel approaches to recommendation, including voice, VR/AR, etc. * Preference elicitation * Privacy and security * Socially- and context-aware recommender systems * Systems challenges such as scalability, data quality, and performance * User studies of recommendation applications Papers on demonstration for RecSys should be submitted to the demo track, while papers on new resources for RecSys should be submitted to the reproducibility track. They would be desk-rejected in the main track. We also point authors to the industry track for discussion of field experiences, deployments, user studies (etc.) that do not follow the framework of regular papers, or align with the reviewing guidelines below. A separate track is also provided for late-breaking results papers; this track is intended for short presentations of preliminary work, mainly focused on fostering discussions with other members of the RecSys community. Reviewing Process Reviewers will evaluate papers based on their significance, originality, rigor, and contribution to the field. In view of the RecSys conference goal of advancing the field, reviewers will also be asked to consider the replicability of the reported research. Replicability will be assessed in the context of the work itself — we recognize that a set of customer interviews (for example) may not be shareable, but the interview scripts can be provided along with other resources such as response coding protocols. Papers that are out of scope, incomplete, or lack sufficient evidence to support the basic claims, may be rejected without full review. Submission Guidelines LONG PAPERS should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The maximum length is 16 pages including appendices (plus up to 2 pages of references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the conference proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the main conference program. SHORT PAPERS typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered for acceptance to this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking strong theoretical foundation. Applications of recommender systems to novel areas are especially welcome. The maximum length is 8 pages including appendices (plus up to 2 pages references). Each accepted short paper will be included in the conference proceedings and presented either as an oral presentation or at the poster session. Note that rejected long paper submissions will not be considered as short papers. All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically. Papers must be submitted to easychair. EVALUATION AND REPRODUCIBILITY We always encourage authors to present reproducible scientific results and we strongly believe this is an attitude we should foster in our RecSys community. To promote a fair evaluation of new algorithms and approaches with state-of-the-art baselines and allow other researchers to reproduce the results presented in RecSys papers, we suggest the authors refer to one of the frameworks listed in https://github.com/ACMRecSys/recsys-evaluation-frameworks. As for the datasets to use in experimental evaluations, authors may refer to the repositories available at https://github.com/ACMRecSys/recsys-datasets. Sharing of datasets and code is encouraged, and authors presenting work that was tested on proprietary data may wish to include a secondary analysis on a public or shareable data set. We also strongly recommend the authors, unless there are restrictions, to make their code available on a public repository. The same holds for non-public datasets used for experimental evaluations. To keep the anonymity of their submission, the authors may refer to https://anonymous.4open.science/. FORMATTING ACM’s archival publication format separates content from presentation in the Digital Library to enhance accessibility and improve the flexibility and resiliency of our publications. Following the ACM publication workflow, all authors should submit manuscripts for review in a single-column format. Instructions for Word and LaTeX authors are given below: * Microsoft Word: Write your paper using the Submission Template (Review Submission Format).

Papers that include text generated from a large-scale language model (LLM) such as ChatGPT are prohibited unless this produced text is presented as a part of the paper’s experimental analysis. AI tools may be used to edit and polish authors’ work, such as using LLMs for light editing of their own text (e.g., automate grammar checks, word autocorrect, and other editing work), but text “produced entirely” by AI is not allowed. For RecSys 2023, we adhere to the principles and guidelines stated in the LLM policy @ ICML 2023. PLAGIARISM Plagiarized papers will not be accepted for RecSys 2023. Our committees will be checking the plagiarism level of all submitted papers to ensure content originality using an automated tool.

[ mailto:n.mellouli@iut.univ-paris8.fr | n.mellouli(a)iut.univ-paris8.fr ] Motivation and Scope The forthcoming 5G networks are expected to bring instantaneous connectivity to billions of IoT devices that enable the digital transformation of industry 4.0 for companies, customers, and investors. It is expected that 85 percent of IoT platforms will contain some form of digital twinning by 2030, driving market growth projections from $3.1 billion today to a $48.2 billion increase in the next few years. Digital twins, which are virtual representations of real-world physical entities, have received significant interest from both the research and industrial communities. The concept is used nowadays in various domains such as manufacturing, healthcare, smart cities, smart agriculture, telecommunication, and utilities to deliver the automation, performance, and cognitive insight required by many industries. Typically, virtual twin systems are generated and then synchronized using data flows in both directions between the real-world physical components and their virtual replica counterparts. Furthermore, a digital twin can enable continuous prototyping and testing on-demand, without interruption, assuring and self-optimizing the forthcoming 5G network and beyond. It creates virtual replicas of IoT devices in various application scenarios and maintains a device twin for every connected device.

[CFP] 28th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2023) at the HU Berlin, Final Call (Deadline Extended)

by Kai Sauerwald

[Apologies for multiple postings.] ****************************************************************** Final Call for Papers: 28th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2023) September 11th-13rd, 2023, Berlin, Germany Website: https://iccs-conference.org/ Twitter: @iccs_confs Contact us: contact(a)iccs-conference.org ****************************************************************** ********** About ICCS ********** The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) focus on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge at the crossroads of artificial intelligence, human cognition, computational linguistics, and related areas of computer science and cognitive science. The ICCS conferences evolved from seven annual workshops on conceptual graphs, starting with an informal gathering hosted by John F. Sowa in 1986. Recently, graph-based knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) paradigms have been getting more and more attention. With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to human users. ICCS 2023 will take place in Berlin, Germany, in September 2023. Scholars, students and industry participants from different disciplines will meet for several weeks of conferences, workshops, summer schools, and public events to engage with the broad topics, issues and challenges related to knowledge in the 21st century. Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously unpublished research on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI). All papers will receive mindful and rigorous reviews that will provide authors with useful critical feedback. The aim of the ICCS 2023 conference is to build upon its long-standing expertise in graph-based KRR and focus on providing modelling, formal and application results of graph-based systems. In particular, the conference welcomes contributions that address graph-based representation and reasoning paradigms (e.g. Bayesian Networks (BNs), Semantic Networks (SNs), RDF(S), Conceptual Graphs (CGs), Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), CP-Nets, GAI-Nets, Graph Databases, Diagrams, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web, etc.) from a modelling, theoretical and application viewpoint. **************** Invited Speakers **************** The following speaker will give keynote talks in addition to the technical programme: - Camille Roth (French National Centre for Scientific Research, Centre Marc Bloch) - Henrik Müller (TU Dortmund University) - Nina Gierasimczuk (Technical University of Denmark) ****** Topics ****** - Topics include but are not limited to: - Existential and Conceptual Graphs - Graph-based models for human reasoning - Social network analysis - Formal Concept Analysis - Conceptual knowledge acquisition - Data and Text mining - Human and machine reasoning under inconsistency - Human and machine knowledge representation and uncertainty - Automated decision-making - Argumentation - Constraint satisfaction - Preferences - Contextual logic - Ontologies - Knowledge architecture and management - Semantic Web, Web of Data, Web 2.0, Linked (Open) Data - Conceptual structures in natural language processing and linguistics - Metaphoric, cultural or semiotic considerations - Resource allocation and agreement technologies - Philosophical, neural, and didactic investigations of conceptual, graphical representations ************************** Important Dates (Extended) ************************** - Abstract registration deadline: April 3, 2023 (AoE) - Submission deadline: April 10, 2023 (AoE) - Paper Reviews Sent to Authors: May 21, 2023 (AoE) - Rebuttals Due: May 28, 2023 (AoE) - Notification to authors: June 7, 2023 (AoE) - Camera-ready papers due: June 21, 2023 (AoE) ****************** Submission Details ****************** We invite scientific papers of up to fourteen pages, short contributions of up to eight pages, and extended poster abstracts of up to three pages.

Call for Papers: KODIS'23, the Workshop on Knowledge Diversity, collocated with KR'23

by Lucia Gomez Alvarez

KoDis: Workshop on Knowledge Diversity ================================== Co-located with the 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2023), September 2-8, 2023 Rhodes, Greece https://kodis23.wordpress.com == IMPORTANT DATES == Workshop paper submission deadline: May 31, 2023 (AOE) Workshop paper notification: July 4, 2023 (AOE) Workshop dates: September 2-4, 2023 == AIMS AND SCOPE == KoDis intends to create a space of confluence and a forum for discussion for researchers interested in knowledge diversity in a wide sense, including diversity in terms of diverging perspectives, different beliefs, semantic heterogeneity and others. The importance of understanding and handling the different forms of diversity that manifest between knowledge formalisations (ontologies, knowledge bases, or knowledge graphs) is widely recognised and has led to the proposal of a variety of systems of representation, tackling overlapping aspects of this phenomenon. Besides understanding the phenomenon and considering formal models for the representation of knowledge diversity, we are interested in the variety of reasoning problems that emerge in this context, including reasoning with possibly conflicting sources, interpreting knowledge from alternative viewpoints, consolidating the diversity as uncertainty, reasoning by means of argumentation between the sources and pursuing knowledge aggregations among others. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics of interest. - Philosophical and cognitive analysis of knowledge diversity. - Formal models for the representation of knowledge diversity. - Ontological approaches capturing multiple perspectives and viewpoints. - Context and concept formation in such systems. - Consistency (or not) in multi-perspective systems; assessment and mitigation of inconsistencies. - Communication between knowledge-diverse systems. - Argumentation-based approaches for dealing with inconsistency - Aggregation of diverse or inconsistent knowledge; judgement aggregation. - Uncertainty in the context of knowledge diversity. - Applications of formal models of knowledge diversity. == SUBMISSIONS == We encourage three types of contributions: - Full research papers: Submitted papers must not exceed 14 pages excluding the bibliography, and must include an abstract of no more than 300 words. Please, note that the minimum length is 10 pages. - Short papers: Submitted papers must not exceed 6 pages excluding the bibliography, and must include an abstract of no more than 300 words. Please, note that the minimum length is 5 pages (including the bibliography). - Extended abstracts (presentation only): should be 2-4 pages long including the bibliography. Please, note that extended abstracts will not be included in the CEUR proceedings.

JELIA strives to foster links and facilitate cross-fertilization of ideas among researchers from various disciplines, among researchers from academia and industry, and between theoreticians and practitioners. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research in all areas related to the use of logics in Artificial Intelligence, including, but not limited to: * Abductive and inductive reasoning * Applications of logic-based AI systems * Argumentation * Automated reasoning including satisfiability checking and its extensions * Causality and logics * Computational complexity and expressiveness * Deontic logic and normative systems * Description logics and other logical approaches to ontologies * Knowledge representation, reasoning, and compilation * Learning and reasoning * Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic programming * Logics in machine learning * Logics for uncertain and probabilistic reasoning * Logics in multi-agent systems, games, and social choice * Neural networks and logic rules * Non-classical logics, such as modal, temporal, epistemic, dynamic, spatial, paraconsistent, and hybrid logics * Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics * Planning and diagnosis based on logic * Preferences and optimization * Reasoning about actions * Updates, belief revision, and nonmonotonic reasoning Submissions describing implemented systems/applications and their application area(s) are also welcome. == SPECIAL TRACK == This year's conference will include a Special Track on Logics for Explainable and Trustworthy AI. We welcome contributions that describe logic-based approaches to making AI more transparent, safer, and more trustworthy. The track aims to draw attention to this timely topic and create a space for discussing the role of logic. The papers accepted for the special track will be presented in dedicated sessions at the conference. == AWARDS == JELIA 2023 is happy to announce that there will be Best Paper and Best Student Paper Prizes sponsored by Springer, each is a cash prize amounting to EUR 500.
