Workshop “Computational Notebooks for FCA” at ICFCA

by Uta Priss

Dear interested researchers, a workshop on Computational Notebooks will be organised at the next ICFCA conference. Notebooks, in particular Jupyter Notebooks, are becoming increasingly popular as a means for documenting procedures, data, calculations, and findings for data science applications and teaching. They support an easy production of nicely formatted mathematical documentation (using Latex, HTML or Markdown) interspersed with executable code for immediate demonstration. For FCA they would provide opportunities to share data procedures, algorithms and teaching materials. Further details can be found on the workshop website: https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/icfca2023/cono-concepts.html If you are interested in participating, please send an informal email by May 1 to upriss(a)gmail.com (also indicating whether you would like to listen to the presentations or present a notebook yourself). Kind regards Uta Priss

CFP FCA4AI 2023 Workshop at IJCAI 2023

by Amedeo Napoli

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- FCA4AI (Eleventh Edition) -- ``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' co-located with IJCAI 2023, Macao, China 19th-25th August 2023 http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru/2023 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Information. The preceding editions of the FCA4AI Workshop (from ECAI 2012 until IJCAI-ECAI 2022) showed that many researchers working in Artificial Intelligence are indeed interested by powerful techniques for classification and data mining provided by Formal Concept Analysis. Again, we have the chance to organize the 11th edition of the workshop in Macao, co-located with the IJCAI 2023 Conference. Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications and association rules) which can be used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing, knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology engineering as well as information retrieval, recommendation, social network analysis and text processing. Thus, there are many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI. Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending the possibilities of plain FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on pattern structures and relational context analysis, as well as on hybridization with other formalisms. These extensions are aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data, for solving complex problems in data analysis, classification, knowledge processing... While the capabilities of FCA are extended, new possibilities are arising in the framework of FCA. As usual, the FCA4AI workshop is dedicated to the discussion of such issues, and in particular: - How can FCA support AI activities in knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, machine learning, natural language processing... - By contrast, how the current developments in AI can be integrated within FCA to help AI researchers solve complex problems in their domain, - Which role can be played by FCA in the new trends in AI, especially in ML, XAI, fairness of algorithms, and ``hybrid systems'' combining symbolic and subsymbolic approaches. TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to: - Concept lattices and related structures: pattern structures, relational structures, distributive lattices. - Knowledge discovery and data mining: pattern mining, association rules, attribute implications, subgroup discovery, exceptional model mining, data dependencies, attribute exploration, stability, projections, interestingness measures, MDL principle, mining of complex data, triadic and polyadic analysis. - Knowledge and data engineering: knowledge representation, reasoning, ontology engineering, mining the web of data, text mining, data quality checking. - Analyzing the potential of FCA in supporting hybrid systems: how to combine FCA and data mining algorithms, such as deep learning for building hybrid knowledge discovery systems, producing explanations, and assessing system fairness. - Analyzing the potential of FCA in AI tasks such as classification, clustering, biclustering, information retrieval, navigation, recommendation, text processing, visualization, pattern recognition, analysis of social networks. - Practical applications in agronomy, astronomy, biology, chemistry, finance, manufacturing, medicine... The workshop will include time for audience discussion aimed at better understanding of of the issues, challenges, and ideas being presented. IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: May 15 2023 Notification to authors: June 05 2023 Final version: July 03 2023 Workshop: August 19-21 2023 SUBMISSION DETAILS: The workshop welcomes submissions in pdf format following the CEURART style 1-column (to be downloaded at https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip). Submissions can be: - technical papers between 8 and 12 pages, - system descriptions or position papers on work in progress not exceeding 6 pages. Submissions are via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fca4ai2023 The workshop proceedings will be published as CEUR proceedings (see preceding editions in CEUR Proceedings Vol-3233, Vol-2972, Vol-2729, Vol-2529, Vol-2149, Vol-1703, Vol-1430, Vol-1257, Vol-1058, and Vol-939).

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

by Lucia Gomez Alvarez

(apologies for cross-posting) 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<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. == PUBLICATION == Accepted papers will be published in CEUR Workshop Proceedings. The authors of selected papers will be invited to prepare an extended version to a Special Issue on “Knowledge Diversity” in the Künstliche Intelligenz Journal, the German Journal of Artificial Intelligence (Springer). More information at https://kodis23.wordpress.com<https://kodis23.wordpress.com/> == ORGANISATION == Lucía Gómez Álvarez (TU Dresden, Germany) ---- contact: lucia.gomez_alvarez(a)tu-dresden.de Rafael Peñaloza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) Srdjan Vesic (CNRS, France) _________________________ Dr. Lucía Gómez Álvarez Computational Logic Group Institute for Artificial Intelligence Faculty of Computer Science TU Dresden GERMANY

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. CHALLENGE ORGANIZERS * Rahul Agarwal, ShareChat, * Sarang Brahme, ShareChat, * Abhishek Srivastava, IIM Visakhapatnam * Liu Yong, Huawei, Singapore * Athirai Irissappane, Amazon, USA ADVISOR * Saikishore Kalloori, ETH Zürich

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.

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). 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. * 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. A document with some frequently asked questions can be found here. 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 the 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 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., “Di Noia and Zhang (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 will be 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 an 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% substantially new approaches and results; such papers must also reference the original workshop paper in the submission form (but not in the anonymized paper). 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. If you reuse non-novel text from a prior publication (e.g., the description of an algorithm or dataset), please make 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.

[ 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.

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.

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. ********** 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: ******************** - Abstract registration deadline: March 19th, 2023 - Submission deadline: March 26th, 2023 - Paper Reviews Sent to Authors: May 14th, 2023 - Rebuttals Due: May 21th, 2023 - Notification to authors: May 31th, 2023 - Camera-ready papers due: June 14th, 2023 ******************** 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.

Appreciate it if you could distribute this CFP in your network) ======================================== CFP Special Issue * Digital Twin for Future Networks and Emerging IoT Applications (DT4IoT)* Future Generation Computer Systems - Elsevier Journal (IF 7.307, Cite Score 18.7) https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/future-generation-computer-systems/ab… Deadline for paper submission: 26 June 2023 ======================================== Guest Editors * Akram Hakiri, University of Carthage, Tunisia. [ mailto:akram.hakiri@issatm.rnu.tn | akram.hakiri(a)issatm.rnu.tn ] * Sadok Ben Yahia, Technology University of Tallinn, Estonia. [ mailto:sadok.ben@taltech.ee | sadok.ben(a)taltech.ee ] * Aniruddha S Gokhale, Vanderbilt University, USA. [ mailto:a.gokhale@vanderbilt.edu | a.gokhale(a)vanderbilt.edu ] * Nedra Mellouli, university of Paris8, France. [ 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.

ACM RecSys 2023 - 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. 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 Authors will be asked to assign a selection of predefined custom tags to describe their paper in the submission system. Tags can be assigned to indicate algorithms, interfaces, automated or user-centric evaluations, for example. Reviewers will also report their expertise across these tags, and this information will be used in review assignments. Papers focusing primarily on demonstration or new resources for RecSys should be submitted to the demo track. These 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 is16 pages (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 (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). 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. * 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. A document with some frequently asked questions can be found here. 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 the 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 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., “Di Noia and Zhang (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 will be 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 an 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% substantially new approaches and results; such papers must also reference the original workshop paper in 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 make 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.

ICFCA 2023 - 2nd Call for Workshops and Tutorials

by Gerd Stumme

================================================================================ ICFCA 2023 17th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis July 17-21, 2023, Kassel, Germany Web: https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/icfca2023/ Mail: icfca2023(a)lists.cs.uni-kassel.de ================================================================================ # Call for Workshops and Tutorials The ICFCA 2023 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops/tutorials to be held on the first day of the conference (July 17, 2023), which will take place in Kassel, Germany. We invite proposals for both **full- and half-day workshops/tutorial** in current and emerging topics in (or related to) Formal Concept Analysis. The workshop and tutorials provide an opportunity to discuss novel topics in an interactive atmosphere. They can concentrate in-depth on research topics, but can also be devoted to application issues. ICFCA 2023 will be a hybrid conference with a strong emphasis on on-site interaction. Therefore all contributors are required to present their work locally in Kassel. # Duration & format We welcome both full- and half-day workshop/tutorial proposals. We would like to encourage proposers to aim for a program that is both varied and interesting. For workshops, especially where the format is concerned, we would like you to think about ways of going beyond the usual list of presentations of accepted papers. Another way of extending the usual format is to include a specific challenge problem that can be addressed by the workshop participants, with a dedicated challenge session in the workshop program. Note, however, that the challenge should be only one of the components of the workshop, targeting a problem which is specific to the workshop topic(s). # Combined Tutorial & Workshop Especially for a relatively novel but rapidly maturing topic, giving an introduction of the state-of-the-art may go beyond the scope of an invited presentation. In this case, a half day tutorial followed by a half day workshop could be a good format. # Guidelines for proposals When proposing a workshop or a tutorial, please provide (at least) the following information: - A brief description of - the specific issues that will be addressed, - the reasons why the workshop/tutorial is of interest in these times, - the main research areas involved, - and what the workshop/tutorial will add to the conference (e.g., do you expect papers of a theme that would not fit the main conference?). - For workshops, - a draft of the Call for Papers, including information on accepted formats (e.g., regular papers, extended abstracts, oral-only presentations of relevant recently published or submitted contributions, etc.) - and expected format of the workshop (e.g., invited talks, presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions, challenge sessions, or other ideas for ensuring an interactive atmosphere). - In the case of a combined tutorial-workshop, please clearly indicate the format. - Any special requirements regarding logistics (e.g., poster stands, audio equipment), if applicable. # Submission For applying or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Program Chairs Domingo López Rodríguez and Dominik Dürrschnabel: icfca2023(a)lists.cs.uni-kassel.de. We are looking forward to your proposals. # Tutorial/Workshop proposal deadline: Friday, February 3, 2023

UMUAI Special Issue "Conversational Recommender Systems: Theory, Models, Evaluations, and Trends"

by Vito Walter Anelli

(Apologies for multiples posting. Appreciate if you can distribute this CFP in your network) ======================================== CFP Special Issue *Conversational Recommender Systems: Theory, Models, Evaluations, and Trends* User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction (UMUAI) - Springer Journal (IF 4.230 @ 2021) Special issue website: bit.ly/3FEL6ch Springer journal website: https://link.springer.com/collections/cjgbcbdgig *ABSTRACT DEADLINE: 15th of February 2023* ======================================== = CALL FOR PAPERS = In the last few years, a renewed interest of the research community in conversational recommender systems (CRSs) is emerging. This is likely due to the massive proliferation of Digital Assistants (DAs) such as Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant, which are revolutionizing how people interact with machines. DAs allow users to execute various actions through interactions primarily based on natural language utterances. However, although DAs are able to complete tasks such as sending texts, making phone calls, or playing songs, they remain at an early stage in terms of their recommendation-offering capabilities using the conversational paradigm. Very few studies investigated the theory behind conversational recommendations in terms of strategies and algorithms, complexity analysis, and so on. Furthermore, since the recommendation becomes an incremental process where the user refines her request at each step to reach the recommendation goal, CRSs need to be powered with knowledge about the domain of the recommended items. Knowledge can be represented in different forms, such as structured information, unstructured one, knowledge graphs, etc. Finally, the evaluation of CRSs is a crucial and non-conventional step, since it goes beyond the accuracy of results and moves in the direction of providing novel and diverse results, generating explanations for recommended items, reducing the user effort for reaching a liked item (e.g., in terms of exchanged messages), and often requires designing a user study. = SPECIAL ISSUE TOPICS = We are interested in contributions focusing on different new and relevant aspects of conversational recommender systems, in particular, new developments on the algorithmic and user interface level as well as new applications, all accompanied by a corresponding evaluation (e.g., empirical study) that clearly shows significant improvements compared to the state of the art. The general topics regarded as relevant for the special issue on Conversational Recommender Systems include but are not limited to: Methodological aspects of a Conversational Recommender Systems (CRS) Design and implementation methodologies Dialogue management (end-to-end, dialogue-state-tracker models, retrieval-based, hybrid) Recommendation algorithms for CRS Multi-objective recommendations for CRS Dialogue protocol design Next-question problem Knowledge bases and knowledge graphs for CRS Explainable CRS User Modeling and Interfaces for CRS Short- and Long-term user profiling and modeling Preference elicitation Critiquing and user feedback elicitation UX design Natural language, multimodal, and voice-based interfaces Theoretical aspects and conceptual aspects of CRS Evaluation of CRS User studies Online experiments Metrics beyond accuracy Datasets = IMPORTANT DATES = Abstract submission: February 15, 2023 Abstract notification: February 28, 2023 Paper submission: April 15, 2023 Author notification: July 1, 2023 Revised paper submission: July 25, 2023 Final notification: August 25, 2023 Camera-ready paper submission: October 15, 2023 All deadlines are 11:59pm, AoE time (Anywhere on Earth). = GUEST EDITORS = Vito Walter Anelli, Polytechnic University of Bari (Italy) Li Chen, Hong Kong Baptist University (China) Gerard de Melo, University of Potsdam (Germany) Julian McAuley, University of California (USA) Fedelucio Narducci, Polytechnic University of Bari (Italy) Azzurra Ragone, University of Bari Aldo Moro (Italy) = SUBMISSION AND REVIEW DETAILS = Please refer to the website: bit.ly/3FEL6ch Informativa Privacy - Ai sensi del Regolamento (UE) 2016/679 si precisa che le informazioni contenute in questo messaggio sono riservate e ad uso esclusivo del destinatario.

[CfP] 28th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2023) @ HU Berlin

by Robert Jäschke

[Apologies for multiple postings.] ****************************************************************** Call for Papers: 28th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2023) September 11 - 13, 2023, Berlin, Germany https://iccs-conference.org / 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. 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 *************** - Abstract registration deadline: March 19th, 2023 - Submission deadline: March 26th, 2023 - Paper Reviews Sent to Authors: May 14th, 2023 - Rebuttals Due: May 21th, 2023 - Notification to authors: May 31th, 2023 - Camera-ready papers due: June 14th, 2023 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. Papers and poster abstracts must be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS style guidelines and not exceed the page limit. Papers will be subject to double-blind peer review, in which the reviewers do not know the author's identity.

Dear All, following up on the ICFCA Call for workshops, I am wondering whether anybody is interested in co-organising or participating in a workshop on using Jupyter notebooks for FCA. Notebooks provide possibilities for sharing and exchanging data and algorithms, even combining algorithms written in different programming languages and for writing teaching materials and other documentation. I know that some FCA people are already using them, but I am not sure how much interest there would be in a workshop on this topic. Thus, if you are interested, please let me know (by email to upriss(a)gmail.com). Thanks Uta

ICFCA 2023 - Call for Workshops and Tutorials

by Gerd Stumme

================================================================================ ICFCA 2023 17th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis July 17-21, 2023, Kassel, Germany Web: https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/icfca2023/ Mail: icfca2023(a)lists.cs.uni-kassel.de ================================================================================ # Call for Workshops and Tutorials The ICFCA 2023 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops/tutorials to be held on the first day of the conference (July 17, 2023), which will take place in Kassel, Germany. We invite proposals for both **full- and half-day workshops/tutorial** in current and emerging topics in (or related to) Formal Concept Analysis. The workshop and tutorials provide an opportunity to discuss novel topics in an interactive atmosphere. They can concentrate in-depth on research topics, but can also be devoted to application issues. ICFCA 2023 will be a hybrid conference with a strong emphasis on on-site interaction. Therefore all contributors are required to present their work locally in Kassel. # Duration & format We welcome both full- and half-day workshop/tutorial proposals. We would like to encourage proposers to aim for a program that is both varied and interesting. For workshops, especially where the format is concerned, we would like you to think about ways of going beyond the usual list of presentations of accepted papers. Another way of extending the usual format is to include a specific challenge problem that can be addressed by the workshop participants, with a dedicated challenge session in the workshop program. Note, however, that the challenge should be only one of the components of the workshop, targeting a problem which is specific to the workshop topic(s). # Combined Tutorial & Workshop Especially for a relatively novel but rapidly maturing topic, giving an introduction of the state-of-the-art may go beyond the scope of an invited presentation. In this case, a half day tutorial followed by a half day workshop could be a good format. # Guidelines for proposals When proposing a workshop or a tutorial, please provide (at least) the following information: - A brief description of - the specific issues that will be addressed, - the reasons why the workshop/tutorial is of interest in these times, - the main research areas involved, - and what the workshop/tutorial will add to the conference (e.g., do you expect papers of a theme that would not fit the main conference?). - For workshops, - a draft of the Call for Papers, including information on accepted formats (e.g., regular papers, extended abstracts, oral-only presentations of relevant recently published or submitted contributions, etc.) - and expected format of the workshop (e.g., invited talks, presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions, challenge sessions, or other ideas for ensuring an interactive atmosphere). - In the case of a combined tutorial-workshop, please clearly indicate the format. - Any special requirements regarding logistics (e.g., poster stands, audio equipment), if applicable. # Submission For applying or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Program Chairs Domingo López Rodríguez and Dominik Dürrschnabel: icfca2023(a)lists.cs.uni-kassel.de. We are looking forward to your proposals. # Tutorial/Workshop proposal deadline: Friday, February 3, 2023

[FOIS 2023] Call for Papers: International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems, Deadline: January 31. 2023

by Lucia Gomez Alvarez

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** Call for papers: FOIS 2023 13th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS 2023), July 17-20, 2023 (Sherbrooke, QC, Canada) and Sept 18-20, 2023 (Online) http://fois2023.griis.ca For any questions, please email: fois2023(a)gmail.com Definition and scope The FOIS conference is a meeting point for all researchers with an interest in formal ontology. Formal ontology is the systematic study of the types of entities and relations making up the domains of interest represented in modern information systems. The conference encourages submission of high quality, not previously published results on both theoretical issues and practical advancements. FOIS 2023 will have distinct tracks for foundational issues, ontology applications and methods, and domain ontologies. FOIS aims to be a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication for researchers from many domains engaging with formal ontology. Common application areas include conceptual modeling, database design, knowledge engineering and management, software engineering, organizational modeling, artificial intelligence, robotics, computational linguistics, the life sciences, bioinformatics and scientific research in general, geographic information science, information retrieval, library and information science, as well as the Semantic Web. FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA: http://iaoa.org/), which is a non-profit organization promoting interdisciplinary research and international collaboration in formal ontology. Important dates • Paper submission deadline: 31 January 2023 • Author rebuttal period: March 24-31, 2023 (tentative) • Notifications: April 10, 2023 (tentative) • Camera-ready papers: May 1, 2023 • Onsite conference: July 17-20, 2023 • Virtual conference: week of September 18, 2023 The submission deadline for workshops will be after the notifications to allow authors to submit a revised version of rejected papers to any of the conference workshops if the paper topics are appropriate for this workshop. Location FOIS 2023 will consist of a physical meeting and a virtual meeting: • An in-person only meeting in Sherbrooke, Quebec from July 17 to 21, 2023 that will be very much like a traditional conference with keynotes, regular talks, workshops and tutorials and plenty of social and networking opportunities. This part will not have a remote participation option, but we plan on recording selected talks (e.g. keynotes). • This will be followed by an online part to be held from September 18 to 20, 2023 that offers an opportunity for presentation and discussion of additional papers that were not presented at the physical meeting in Sherbrooke. Submissions FOIS 2023 seeks three types of full-length (14 pages) high-quality papers on a wide range of topics: • Foundational papers address content-related ontological issues, their formal representation, and their relevance to some aspect of information systems. • Application and Methods papers address novel systems, methods, and tools related to building, evaluating, or using ontologies, emphasizing the impact of ontology contents. • Domain ontology papers describe a novel ontology for a specific realm of interest, clarifying ontological choices against requirements and foundational theory, and showing ontology use. Please refer to the Submissions Instructions (coming soon) for more details. As usual, the FOIS proceedings will be published by IOS Press. Topics of interest Areas of particular interest to FOIS include the following: Foundational Issues • Kinds of entities: particulars/universals, continuants/occurrents, abstracta/concreta, dependent entities/independent entities, natural objects/artifacts, events/processes • Formal relations: parthood, identity, connection, dependence, constitution, causality, subsumption, instantiation • Vagueness and granularity • Space, time, and change Methodological issues • Top-level vs. domain-specific ontologies • Role of reference ontologies • Ontology similarity, integration, alignment, matching and entity reconciliation • Ontology modularity, patterns, and contextuality • Ontology evaluation, quality, reuse, adaptation, and evolution • Ontology compliance with FAIR principles • Formal comparison among ontologies • Relationship between conceptual modeling and ontologies • Relationship with cognition, language, semantics, and context • Connections between knowledge graphs and ontologies • Methodological issues in the applications of ontologies • Social issues, such as trust or bias, with respect to ontologies Applications • Technical applications of ontologies, such as • Semantic Web • Other areas of AI (Machine Learning, Explainable AI, Rules) • Qualitative modeling • Systems applications of ontologies, such as • Ontology-driven information systems design • Ontology-based data access • Knowledge management • Information retrieval • Computational linguistics • Metadata management • Domain applications of ontologies, such as • Ontologies for business modeling • Ontologies for particular scientific disciplines (biology, chemistry, geography, physics, geoscience, cognitive sciences, linguistics, etc.) • Ontologies for engineering: shape, form and function, artifacts, manufacturing, design, architecture, etc. • Ontologies for the humanities: arts, cultural studies, history, literature, philosophy, etc. • Ontologies for the social sciences: economics, law, political science, anthropology, archeology, etc. • Ontologies for Open Science and dataset sharing Domain-specific ontologies • Ontology of physical reality (matter, space, time, motion, etc.) • Ontology of biological reality (organisms, genes, proteins, cells, etc.) • Ontology of mental reality and agency (beliefs, intentions, emotions, perceptions, cognition, etc.) • Ontology of artifacts, functions, capacities and roles • Ontology of social reality (institutions, organizations, norms, social relationships, artistic expressions, etc.) Conference Organization General Chair: Antony Galton, University of Exeter, UK PC Chairs: Nathalie Aussenac-Gilles, IRIT-CNRS Toulouse, France Torsten Hahmann, University of Maine, USA Local Organization Chair: Jean-François Ethier, University of Sherbrooke, Canada Online Chair: Cassia Trojahn, IRIT Université Toulouse 2, France Workshop and Tutorial Chairs: Megan Katsumi, University of Toronto, Canada Emilio Sanfilippo, ISTC-CNR, Trento, Italy Early Career Chairs: Antoine Zimmermann, École des Mines de Saint-Étienne (EMSE), France Guendalina Righetti, Free University Bozen/Bolzano, Italy Demo & Showcase Chairs: Sergio de Cesare, University of Westminster, UK TBA Publicity Chairs: Lucia Gomez Alvarez, TU Dresden, Germany Selja Seppälä, University College Cork, Ireland Proceedings Chair: Maria Hedblom, Jönköping University, Sweeden _________________________ Dr. Lucía Gómez Álvarez Computational Logic Group Institute for Artificial Intelligence Faculty of Computer Science TU Dresden GERMANY

[KaRS 2022] Third CfP: 4th Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems Workshop 2022 @ ACM RecSys

by Vito Walter Anelli

Call for Papers Fourth Workshop on Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems (KaRS 2022) https://kars-workshop.github.io/2022/ Sep. 18th - Sep. 23rd, 2022, Seattle, WA, USA Submission deadline: August 5th, 2022, AoE [SCOPE] We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Fourth Workshop on Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems held in conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2022), Seattle, WA, USA, from September the 18th to September the 23rd, 2022. In the last few years, a renewed interest of the research community in conversational recommender systems (CRSs) is emerging. This is probably due to the great diffusion of Digital Assistants (DAs) such as Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant that are revolutionizing the way users interact with machines. DAs allow users to execute a wide range of actions through an interaction mostly based on natural language messages. However, although DAs are able to complete tasks such as sending texts, making phone calls, or playing songs, they are still at an early stage in offering recommendation capabilities by using the conversational paradigm. In addition, we have been witnessing the advent of more and more precise and powerful recommendation algorithms and techniques able to effectively assess users' tastes and predict information that would probably be of interest to them. Most of these approaches rely on the collaborative paradigm (often exploiting machine learning techniques) and do not take into account the huge amount of knowledge, both structured and non-structured, describing the domain of interest of the recommendation engine. Although very effective in predicting relevant items, collaborative approaches miss some very interesting features that go beyond the accuracy of results and move in the direction of providing novel and diverse results as well as generating an explanation for the recommended items. Furthermore, this side information becomes crucial when a conversational interaction is implemented, in particular for the preference elicitation, explanation, and critiquing steps. The 4th Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems (KaRS) Workshop focuses on all aspects related to the exploitation of external and explicit knowledge sources to feed and build a recommendation engine, and on the adoption of interactions based on the conversational paradigm. The aim is to go beyond the traditional accuracy goal and to start a new generation of algorithms and approaches with the help of the methodological diversity embodied in fields such as Machine Learning (ML), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Information Retrieval (IR), and Information Systems (IS). Consequently, the focus lies on works improving the user experience and following goals such as user engagement and satisfaction or customer value. The aim of this fourth edition of KaRS is to bring together researchers and practitioners around the topics of designing and evaluating novel approaches for recommender systems in order to: * share research and techniques, including new design technologies and evaluation methodologies; * identify the next key challenges in the area; * identify emerging topics in the field. [TOPICS] This workshop aims at establishing an interdisciplinary community with a focus on the exploitation of (semi-)structured knowledge and conversational approaches for recommender systems and promoting collaboration opportunities between researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Knowledge-aware Recommender Systems. - Models and Feature Engineering: - Knowledge-aware data models based on structured knowledge sources (e.g., Linked Open Data, BabelNet, Wikidata, etc.) - Semantics-aware approaches exploiting the analysis of textual sources (e.g., Wikipedia, Social Web, etc.) - Knowledge-aware user modeling - Methodological aspects (evaluation protocols, metrics, and data sets) - Logic-based modeling of a recommendation process - Knowledge Representation and Automated Reasoning for recommendation engines - Deep learning methods to model semantic features - Beyond-Accuracy Recommendation Quality: - Using knowledge bases and knowledge graphs to increase recommendation quality(e.g., in terms of novelty, diversity, serendipity, or explainability) - Explainable Recommender Systems - Knowledge-aware explanations to recommendations (compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation) - Online Studies: - Using knowledge sources for cross-lingual recommendations - Applications of knowledge-aware recommenders (e.g., music or news recommendation, off-mainstream application areas) - User studies (e.g., on the user's perception of knowledge-based recommendations), field studies, in-depth experimental offline evaluations - Conversational Recommender Systems. - Design of a Conversational Agent: - Design and implementation methodologies - Dialogue management (end-to-end, dialog-state-tracker models) - UX design - Dialog protocols design - User Modeling and interfaces: - Critiquing and user feedback exploitation - Short- and Long-term user profiling and modeling - Preference elicitation - Natural language-, multi-modal-, and voice-based interfaces - Next-question problem - Methodological and Theoretical aspects: - Evaluation and metrics - Datasets - Theoretical aspects of conversational recommender systems [SUBMISSIONS] Submissions of full research papers must be in English, in PDF format in the CEUR-WS two-column conference format available at: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip or at: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-w… if an Overleaf template is preferred. Submission will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the CEUR workshop series. Papers may range from theoretical works to system descriptions. We particularly encourage Ph.D. students or Early-Stage Researchers to submit their research. We also welcome contributions from the industry and papers describing ongoing funded projects which may result useful to the Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems community. The conference language is English. We invite three kinds of submissions, which address novel issues in Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems: * Long Papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The Long papers must have a length of a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 8 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the Workshop program. * Short/Demo 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 in this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking a strong theoretical foundation. Applications of recommender systems to novel areas are especially welcome. The Short/Demo papers must have a length of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted short paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings * Position/Discussion Papers describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review these problems from a new perspective, in order to contribute to a better understanding of these problems in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem, or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. The Position/Discussion papers must have a length of a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Original Position/Discussion accepted papers will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings. Selected Position/Discussion papers will be invited as oral presentations. The review process is single-blind. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. Moreover, following the RecSys 2022 guidelines, reviewers will be asked to comment on whether the length is appropriate for the contribution. Shorter papers should generally report on advances that can be described, set into context, and evaluated concisely. Longer papers should reflect substantial contributions of lasting value. Short and long paper submissions must be original work and may not be under submission to another venue at the time of review. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. Submission will be through Easychair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kars2022 [IMPORTANT DATES] * Paper submissions due: August 5th, 2022 * Paper acceptance notification: August 27th, 2022 * Camera-ready deadline: September 10th, 2022 * Workshop day: Sep 18th-23rd, 2022 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59 pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.

Although very effective in predicting relevant items, collaborative approaches miss some very interesting features that go beyond the accuracy of results and move in the direction of providing novel and diverse results as well as generating an explanation for the recommended items. Furthermore, this side information becomes crucial when a conversational interaction is implemented, in particular for the preference elicitation, explanation, and critiquing steps. The 4th Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems (KaRS) Workshop focuses on all aspects related to the exploitation of external and explicit knowledge sources to feed and build a recommendation engine, and on the adoption of interactions based on the conversational paradigm. The aim is to go beyond the traditional accuracy goal and to start a new generation of algorithms and approaches with the help of the methodological diversity embodied in fields such as Machine Learning (ML), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Information Retrieval (IR), and Information Systems (IS). Consequently, the focus lies on works improving the user experience and following goals such as user engagement and satisfaction or customer value. The aim of this fourth edition of KaRS is to bring together researchers and practitioners around the topics of designing and evaluating novel approaches for recommender systems in order to: * share research and techniques, including new design technologies and evaluation methodologies; * identify the next key challenges in the area; * identify emerging topics in the field. [TOPICS] This workshop aims at establishing an interdisciplinary community with a focus on the exploitation of (semi-)structured knowledge and conversational approaches for recommender systems and promoting collaboration opportunities between researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Knowledge-aware Recommender Systems. - Models and Feature Engineering: - Knowledge-aware data models based on structured knowledge sources (e.g., Linked Open Data, BabelNet, Wikidata, etc.) - Semantics-aware approaches exploiting the analysis of textual sources (e.g., Wikipedia, Social Web, etc.) - Knowledge-aware user modeling - Methodological aspects (evaluation protocols, metrics, and data sets) - Logic-based modeling of a recommendation process - Knowledge Representation and Automated Reasoning for recommendation engines - Deep learning methods to model semantic features - Beyond-Accuracy Recommendation Quality: - Using knowledge bases and knowledge graphs to increase recommendation quality(e.g., in terms of novelty, diversity, serendipity, or explainability) - Explainable Recommender Systems - Knowledge-aware explanations to recommendations (compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation) - Online Studies: - Using knowledge sources for cross-lingual recommendations - Applications of knowledge-aware recommenders (e.g., music or news recommendation, off-mainstream application areas) - User studies (e.g., on the user's perception of knowledge-based recommendations), field studies, in-depth experimental offline evaluations - Conversational Recommender Systems. - Design of a Conversational Agent: - Design and implementation methodologies - Dialogue management (end-to-end, dialog-state-tracker models) - UX design - Dialog protocols design - User Modeling and interfaces: - Critiquing and user feedback exploitation - Short- and Long-term user profiling and modeling - Preference elicitation - Natural language-, multi-modal-, and voice-based interfaces - Next-question problem - Methodological and Theoretical aspects: - Evaluation and metrics - Datasets - Theoretical aspects of conversational recommender systems [SUBMISSIONS] Submissions of full research papers must be in English, in PDF format in the CEUR-WS two-column conference format available at: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip or at: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-w… if an Overleaf template is preferred. Submission will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the CEUR workshop series. Papers may range from theoretical works to system descriptions. We particularly encourage Ph.D. students or Early-Stage Researchers to submit their research. We also welcome contributions from the industry and papers describing ongoing funded projects which may result useful to the Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems community. The conference language is English. We invite three kinds of submissions, which address novel issues in Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems: * Long Papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The Long papers must have a length of a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 8 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the Workshop program. * Short/Demo 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 in this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking a strong theoretical foundation. Applications of recommender systems to novel areas are especially welcome. The Short/Demo papers must have a length of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted short paper will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings * Position/Discussion Papers describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review these problems from a new perspective, in order to contribute to a better understanding of these problems in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem, or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments. The Position/Discussion papers must have a length of a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Original Position/Discussion accepted papers will be included in the CEUR online Workshop proceedings. Selected Position/Discussion papers will be invited as oral presentations. The review process is single-blind. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. Moreover, following the RecSys 2022 guidelines, reviewers will be asked to comment on whether the length is appropriate for the contribution. Shorter papers should generally report on advances that can be described, set into context, and evaluated concisely. Longer papers should reflect substantial contributions of lasting value. Short and long paper submissions must be original work and may not be under submission to another venue at the time of review. Accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. Submission will be through Easychair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kars2022 [IMPORTANT DATES] * Paper submissions due: August 5th, 2022 * Paper acceptance notification: August 27th, 2022 * Camera-ready deadline: September 10th, 2022 * Workshop day: Sep 18th-23rd, 2022 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59 pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone.
