Recent advances in commercial conversational services that allow naturally spoken and typed interaction, particularly for well-formulated questions and commands, have increased the need for more human-centric interactions in information retrieval. The Third International Workshop on Conversational Approaches to Information Retrieval (CAIR'20) will again bring together academic and industrial researchers to create a forum for research on conversational approaches to search. A specific focus will be on techniques that support complex and multi-turn user-machine dialogues for information access and retrieval, and multi-modal interfaces for interacting with such systems. We invite submissions addressing all modalities of conversation, including speech-based, text-based, and multimodal interaction. We also welcome studies of human-human interaction (e.g., collaborative search) that can inform the design of conversational search applications, and work on evaluation of conversational approaches.
The workshop welcomes a broad range of studies that can contribute to the development of conversational approaches to IR. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Accepted full papers will be granted an optional +2 pages to address comments from the reviewers and will have an oral presentation at the workshop.
Short papers can include position papers and panel discussion proposals, in addition to the latest findings of your work. Accepted short papers will have a poster presentation at the workshop.
All submissions will be reviewed by the PC committee chaired by the workshop organizers. Submission must include the name and affiliations of authors.
Papers must be submitted to Easychair by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) of January 10, 2020.
