*Call for Poster/Paper Presentations – SCAI: Search-Oriented Conversational AI* - SCAI is a workshop at SIGIR 2022 (hybrid: Madrid/Online) on July 15, 2022 - Website: https://scai.info - Application form: https://forms.gle/vmG5gTWhnoHvw5TL8 *Important dates:* - Application deadline: June 10, 2022 (AoE) - Author notification: June 17, 2022 *Description* SCAI is an established venue that provides a discussion platform on Conversational AI for intelligent information access, bringing together researchers and practitioners across natural language processing, information retrieval, machine learning and human-computer interaction fields. The goal of Search-oriented Conversational AI is to design systems that allow for a more convenient information access by means of a conversational user interface. Further development of Conversational Search systems requires closer integration and better information exchange between the diverse communities that are engaged in the areas of Dialogue Systems, Information Retrieval and Conversational User Interfaces. SCAI aims to bring together researchers interested in informing the design of a new generation of systems for conversational information access. SCAI 2022 is a *non-archival, hybrid venue*. It offers an opportunity to present on-going or recently completed research work in an interdisciplinary meeting specifically focused on search-based conversational AI. We invite *presentations of papers that were previously accepted to conferences or journals* within the last 2 years, and are *relevant to the following topics*: - *Design*: theoretical understanding and empirical analysis of information-seeking dialogues, properties of a mixed-initiative interaction, modeling conversational contexts, relation to concurrent research in dialogue systems and conversational user interfaces - *Evaluation*: evaluation of conversational search systems including user studies, question answering and summarization metrics, Wizard-of-Oz experiments, user simulation for dialogues, measuring learning outcomes of an information-seeking dialogue, dialogue analysis, faithfulness and provenance of the dialogue responses. - *Applications*: information-seeking dialogues for personalised education, healthcare, entertainment and knowledge-intensive work. Apply to present your work at SCAI’22 (or nominate someone else’s work) by filling out this on-line form: https://forms.gle/vmG5gTWhnoHvw5TL8 -- https://tuetschek.github.io
