Natural language processing is becoming more and more important in recommender systems. This half day workshop explores challenges and potential research directions in Recommender Systems (RSs) combining Natural Language Processing (NLP). The focus will be on stimulating discussions around how to combine natural language processing technologies with recommendation. We welcome theoretical, experimental, and methodological studies that leverage NLP technologies to advance recommender systems, as well as emphasize the applicability in practical applications. The workshop aims to bring together a diverse set of researchers and practitioners interested in investigating the interaction between NLP and RSs to develop more intelligent RSs.
Submission Guidelines
We welcome technical contributions and position papers from a wide range of topics, including but not limited to combining NLP technologies with recommendations in the following topics of interest: knowledge-aware recommendation, explainable recommendation, conversational recommendation, sequential recommendation, evaluation of recommendation, etc.
Papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, which will be publicly available online for no charge. Accepted papers will have a presentation (oral and/or poster) at the workshop. Papers must be submitted in PDF according to the new two-column ACM format published in the ACM guidelines, selecting the generic "sigconf" sample.
