Search and recommender systems process rich natural language text data such as user queries and documents (e.g., articles, profiles, transcripts, comments, posts). Achieving high-quality search and recommendation results requires processing and understanding such information effectively and efficiently, where natural language processing (NLP) technologies are widely deployed. Natural language data are represented as a sequence of words. Understanding such sequential information is generally a nontrivial task in traditional methods, with challenges on both data sparsity and data generalization. Deep learning models provide an opportunity to effectively extract the representative relevant information, thus better understanding complicated semantics and underlying user intention. In recent years, the rapid development of deep learning technology has been proven successful for improving various NLP tasks, indicating their great potential of promoting search and recommender systems.
Submission Guidelines
We encourage submissions of works-in-progress and extended abstracts, in addition to full length papers. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. All papers will be peer reviewed by the program committee and judged by their relevance to the workshop. Submissions must be formatted according to the latest ACM SIG proceedings template (LaTeX users use sample-sigconf.tex as a template).
The following categories of papers are welcome:
- Full paper (At most 9 pages including figures + 1 pages of reference)
- Short paper (At most 4 pages)
