We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the 14th ACM
Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2020), the premier venue
for research and applications of recommendation technologies. The
upcoming RecSys conference will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
from September 22nd to September 26th, 2020. The conference will
continue RecSys' practice of connecting the research and
practitioner communities to exchange ideas, frame problems, and
share solutions. All accepted papers will be published by ACM.
We invite submissions on all aspects of recommender systems,
including applications ranging from e-commerce to social
networking, and a wide variety of technologies ranging from
collaborative filtering to knowledge-based reasoning or deep
learning. We welcome new research on recommendation technologies
coming from very 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 2020 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
* Context-aware recommender systems
* Conversational recommender systems (e.g., conversational
interaction, spoken language interfaces, dialogue systems)
* Cross-domain recommendation
* Economic models and consequences of recommender systems
* Evaluation metrics and studies
* Explanations and evidence
* Innovative/New applications
* Interfaces for recommender systems
* Novel machine learning approaches to recommendation algorithms
* Preference elicitation
* Privacy and security
* Social recommenders
* User modelling
* User studies
* Voice, VR, and other novel interaction paradigms
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 over these tags, and the information will be used
in review assignments.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically. Papers
must be submitted to PCS by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) on May
4th, 2020. There will be no extensions to the submission deadline.
Formatting. ACM is changing the archive format of its publications
to separate content from presentation in the new Digital Library,
enhance accessibility, and improve the flexibility and resiliency
of our publications. Following the new 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 Master Article
Template - LaTeX
(1.67; published January 14, 2020) to create your article
submission. Use the "manuscript" call to create a single-column
format for review. Please review 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.
Should you have any questions or issues going through the
instructions above, please contact support at
acmtexsupport@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 double-blind (i.e.
anonymized). This means that all submissions must not include
information identifying the authors or their organization.
Specifically, do not include the authors' names and affiliations,
anonymize citations to your previous work and avoid providing any
other information that would allow to identify the authors, such
as acknowledgments and funding. 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.
Originality. Each paper should not be previously published or
accepted to any peer-reviewed journal or conference/workshop, nor
currently under review elsewhere (including as another paper
submission for RecSys 2020). We generally discourage authors to
submit the same paper to institutional or other preprint
repositories such as arXiv.org before the reviewing process is
complete, because it will place anonymity at risk. Please refer to
the ACM Publishing License Agreement and Authorship Policy for
further details.
Plagiarism. Plagiarized papers will not be accepted for RecSys
2020. Our committees will be checking the plagiarism level of all
submitted papers to ensure content originality using an automated
tool. Hence, authors are advised in their own interest to use a
similar tool (e.g., iThenticate, Turnitin, Viper, PlagScan, etc.)
to check the plagiarism level of their manuscripts before
submission. The originality report generated by the tool may also
be submitted at the time of paper submission.
Papers violating any of the above guidelines are subject to
rejection without review.
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.
PAPER SUBMISSION CATEGORIES
LONG PAPERS should report on substantial contributions of lasting
value. The maximum length is 14 pages (excluding references) in
the new single-column format. Each accepted long paper will be
included in the conference proceedings and presented in a plenary
session as part of the main conference program. Each accepted long
paper will also be allocated a presentation slot in a poster
session to encourage discussion and follow-up between authors and
attendees. We expect the review process to be highly selective:
the acceptance rate for full papers in the past few years was
about 20%.
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 into 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 7 pages (excluding references) in the new
single-column format. Each accepted short paper will be included
in the conference proceedings and presented in a poster session.
The poster presentation may include a system demonstration.
Selected short papers may be invited as oral presentations. Note
that rejected long paper submissions will not be considered as
short papers.
SIGCHI SUBMITTER AGREEMENT
RecSys 2020 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 2020 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 attend the conference. Papers that are not
presented at the conference by an author may be removed from the
proceedings at the discretion of the program chairs.
