Call for Papers "The 1st International Workshop on Adversarial Machine Learning for Recommendation and Search (AdveRSe 2021)"

WebSite: https://sisinflab.github.io/adverse2021/cfp/
Date: 1-5 November 2021, Online Hosted in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia

Abstract Submission deadline: July 3rd, 2021, 2021 AoE
Paper Submission deadline: July 10th, 2021, 2021 AoE


[Scope]
Recently, research in adversarial machine learning has brought to light important potential security issues with systems that people use on a daily basis for search and discovery. While adversarial examples are well understood in computer vision tasks, the harmful effects of the malicious application of machine learning are less well-understood in information retrieval and recommendation systems. The issues include: injection of adversarial-crafted fake users, adversarial perturbation of multimedia data in training sets or background collections, and adversarial structural noise on graph structure in order to improve search and recommendation in real-world environments, research is necessary that will allow us to discover, understand, and control the adverse impact of adversarial machine learning. In this workshop, we aim to bring together researchers from the fields of adversarial machine learning, information retrieval, and recommender systems to discuss recent advances and research directions that could be further exploited to broaden the frontier in the field.

The purpose of the 1st International Workshop on Adversarial Machine Learning for Recommendation and Search (AdveRSe 2021) is to provide a meeting forum for stimulating and disseminating research in Adversarial Machine Learning for Recommendation and Search Systems, where researchers can network and discuss their research results in an informal way.
The Half-Day Workshop will take place online on November 1-5, 2021 in conjunction with the 30th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2021), hosted in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

[Submission Guidelines]

Submissions of full research papers must be in English, in PDF format in the CEUR-WS two-column conference format available at CEURART or at  OVERLEAF TEMPLATE if an Overleaf is preferred.
    • Long Papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The Long papers must have a length of minimum 6 and maximum 8 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the CEUR on-line Workshop proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the Workshop program.
    • Short/Position Papers typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered for acceptance to this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking strong theoretical foundation. Applications of adversarial learning in recommendation and search systems to novel areas are especially welcome. The Short Papers must have a length of minimum 3 and maximum 5 pages (plus an unlimited number of pages for references). Each accepted long paper will be included in the CEUR on-line Workshop proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the Workshop program

To be considered, papers must be received by the submission deadline (see Important Dates). The short and long papers review process is double-blind. The authors must anonymize their submissions. Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. Short and long paper submissions must be original work and may not be under submission to other venues at the time of review (authors can upload to institutional or other preprint repositories such as arXiv.org before reviewing is complete).
