CIKM 2024: 33rd ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management

 

Boise, Idaho, USA

October 21–25, 2024

===============

The Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of research on information and knowledge management, as well as recent advances in data and knowledge bases. The purpose of the conference is to identify challenging problems facing the development of future knowledge and information systems, and to shape future directions of research by soliciting and reviewing high-quality, applied and theoretical research findings.

We call for technical talks which will cover how topics of interest relevant to the broader CIKM community, including but not limited to knowledge management, information retrieval, efficient data processing, neural and large language models, evaluation, recommender systems, data mining, and others found in the CIKM ‘24 Call for Papers are used in an industrial setting. Possible topics include how machine learning is put to use in practical scenarios, how user behavior can be observed and interpreted, how to improve systems in practice, how industrial pipelines can be optimized, and how scale is a challenge in more ways than the obvious. We also encourage talk proposals from small companies, such as startups or spin-offs from either a university project or a large company.
