ACM RecSys 2023 - Second Call for Late-Breaking Results

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/lbr ** 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 from September 18–22, 2023 in Singapore, with an inclusive format that accommodates remote attendance. Each accepted contribution is expected to be presented in person. The conference will continue RecSys’ practice 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. The Late-Breaking Results (LBR) track of RecSys offers an opportunity for presenting new, interesting, preliminary results and speculative or innovative work in progress. The track seeks novel contributions that should be published immediately, because they will influence the work of others. The topics listed in the main-track call for papers serve as a reference, but we also encourage submissions with clear relevance to recommender systems that extend this list. Accepted contributions for this track will be presented as posters, where the informal setting encourages presenters and participants to engage in lively discussions about the presented work. All submissions should convey a scientific result or work in progress that is not yet ready to be published as a research paper at a refereed conference, but the preliminary results are already interesting. Accepted submissions will be published as extended abstracts in the ACM RecSys 2023 conference proceedings. Submission Guidelines Submissions should report on new and preliminary contributions. The maximum length is 7 pages (excluding references) in the new single-column format. All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically. Submissions must be submitted to easychair by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) by July 3rd, 2023. In addition to these guidelines, the guidelines in the main-track call for papers apply for Formatting, Anonymity, Ethical Review for Human-Subjects Research, Originality, Plagiarism and Patenting. Please make sure that you have read and understood those. 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. Important Dates * LBR submission deadline: July 3rd, 2023 * LBR notifications: July 21st, 2023 * LBR camera-ready paper: July 28th, 2023 Deadlines refer to 23:59 (11:59pm) in the AoE (Anywhere on Earth) time zone. Late-Breaking Results Chairs * Pigi Kouki, RelationalAI, USA * Ruiming Tang, Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab * Chao Huang, University of Hong Kong E-mail: demos_lbr2023(a)recsys.acm.org

ESAO Webinar n.08 on Monday, June 12 –- Special Session with James Hampton (London, UK) -- Call for Participation

by Frank Loebe

== ESAO Webinar n.08, Special Session in June 2023 == Dear all, The Educational Series on Applied Ontology (ESAO) [1] is open for everyone and welcomes students, researchers and practitioners alike (no registration needed). The 8th ESAO webinar will be held as special session on Monday, June 12, 2023 at 14:00 UTC, for up to 75 min (regional times: 10:00 EDT / 16:00 CEST / 16:00 SAST [2]) via Zoom (full connection details at the end of this message) https://univ-tlse2.zoom.us/j/94745672720?pwd=ZjN5bGN6Rlc1UkxBSmQrSHRvVi95QT… Program & Speaker Info ---------------------- 10:00-11:15 EDT / 14:00-15:15 UTC / 16:00-17:15 / 16:00-17:15 SAST (50 min talk + discussion) Title: The psychology and philosophy of concept combination Speaker: James Hampton (City, University of London, UK) [3] SPECIAL SESSION of ESAO: - invited talk in connection with the PhD defense of Guendalina Righetti (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy) - actually hybrid, onsite in Bozen-Bolzano and online as ESAO webinar - format: scientific talk Abstract: I will review a wider range of research into the problem of how prototype concepts combine. When nouns are placed in a noun-noun compound, (e.g. CRIMINAL LAWYER) different strategies can be used in English to arrive at a semantic interpretation. I will discuss some of the processes involved, and the effects of stress. The second part of my talk will examine how people interpret logical connectives when applied to vague semantic categories such as Vehicle or Fruit. Finally I will present some new data looking at how people judge a conjunction of two vague predicates, as in "These sunglasses are large and dark" where both size and shade of a set of sunglasses are distributed around a vague boundary. Short Speaker CV: Educated at Cambridge and University College London. Professor of Psychology, City, University of London since 1977. Visiting appointments at Stanford, Cornell, Chicago (as a Fulbright Fellow), Yale, NYU, Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, and Utrecht. Over 100 publications on the psychology and philosophy of concepts. Series Description ------------------ The IAOA [4] has created ESAO [1], an educational effort directed towards topics of Applied Ontology, primarily established basics and foundations. The series is inspired by the Interdisciplinary Schools on Applied Ontology (ISAO) [5] (for the next ISAO edition during July 10-14, 2023, please see [6] - ! EARLY REGISTRATION for ISAO 2023 closes on June 11 (EDT) !). ESAO is complementary in format and its overall approach. The goal is to provide a combination of an archive of educational material (e.g., short video lectures) and a series of webinars for presenting and discussing that material.

(EXTENDED DEADLINE: 12th June ) KoDis@KR 2023: Workshop on Knowledge Diversity + Special Issue

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 (EXTENDED) == Workshop paper submission deadline (EXTENDED) : June 12, 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.
