Proposal Deadline: June 30, 2022 https://www.cikm2022.org/calls/call-for-industry-day-speakers The Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) provides a unique venue for industry and academia to present and discuss state-of-the-art research on artificial intelligence, search and discovery, data mining, and database systems, all at a single conference. CIKM is uniquely situated to highlight technologies and insights that materialize the big-data and artificial-intelligence vision of the future. CIKM 2022 will be held between Oct 17-22, 2022, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. We call for technical talks which will cover how knowledge management, information retrieval, recommender systems, and data mining are used in an industrial setting. For example, how machine learning is put to use in practical scenarios, how user behavior can be observed, and used, to improve systems in practice, how industrial pipelines can be optimized, and how scale is a challenge in more ways than the obvious. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Innovative approaches used in deployed systems and products. - We also encourage talk proposals from small companies, especially startups or spin-offs from either a university project or a large company. - System design case-studies from industry practitioners, identifying best practices and design principles for learning systems, scalability aspects - Talks discussing domain specific challenges are also welcome. - Metrics and measurement techniques used at scale to understand performance of industrial systems - Talks creating a connection with academia to solve interesting problems, including talk proposals from academics spending time in industry, or vice-versa, covering insights for other practitioners Talks may address challenges, solutions, and case studies of interesting and innovative systems, and ideas in areas pertaining to above topics.. Industry authors are invited to submit talk proposals. Industry-academia talk proposals are eligible. The authors of accepted proposals will be invited to submit a 2-pages camera ready paper. Each presentation will be 20-30 minutes long including Q&A. Submissions should include: - Title and abstract - Speaker's bio - Relevancy to above themes and CIKM topics - (optional, but strongly recommended) Links to video of previous technical talks given by the speaker. In case no such recordings exist, we encourage the speaker to make a recording of a part of the proposed talk for the purpose of this submission. - CIKM is a technical conference, so preference will be given to talks describing applied research and technical challenges rather than product presentations. Submission instructions Proposals should be at most 2 pages and follow the ACM format. Formatting guidelines are available at the ACM Website (use the ˮsigconf” proceedings template). https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template Submissions are not anonymous and should contain speaker details.
