Recommender systems track at FLAIRS conference (RecSys@FLAIRS)

In Cooperation with Association for Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI)

Recommender systems (RecSys) are being used to suggest products to customers, provide personalized product information, or even to provide products’ reviews. These systems recommend items among a huge number of possibilities according to users’ interests. Recommender Systems have also been proposed to support the information selection and decision making processes on e-commerce web sites.

This is the 6th Recommender Systems Special Track running in conjunction with the International FLAIRS Conference. Following the successful previous RecSys Tracks at FLAIRS, the goal of this special track is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to share their efforts in addressing current issues, challenges, novel approaches, and applications within the broad scope of recommender systems. We continue to aim to cover a wide variety of research areas where recommender systems may be researched and applied.

​

The reviewing is a double-blind process. Fake author names and affiliations must be used on submitted papers to provide double-blind reviewing. Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system, which can be accessed through the main conference website (https://www.flairs-33.info/).

*All accepted papers will be published as FLAIRS proceedings by the AAAI.*

​

Note: do not use a fake name for your EasyChair login – your EasyChair account information is hidden from reviewers. Authors should indicate the [your track name] special track for submissions. The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. FLAIRS requires that there be at least one full author registration per paper.
