During the past decade, recommender systems have rapidly become an indispensable element of websites, apps, and other platforms that seek to provide personalized interactions to their users. As recommendation technologies are applied to an ever-growing array of non-standard problems and scenarios, researchers and practitioners are also increasingly faced with challenges of dealing with greater variety and complexity in the inputs to those recommender systems. For example, there has been more reliance on fine-grained user signals as inputs rather than simple ratings or likes. Applications require more complex domain-specific constraints on inputs to the recommender systems. Likewise, the outputs of recommender systems are moving towards more complex composite items, such as package or sequence recommendations. This increasing complexity requires smarter recommender algorithms that can deal with this diversity in inputs and outputs.
For the past four years, the ComplexRec workshop series has offered an interactive venue for discussing approaches to recommendation in complex scenarios that have no simple one-size-fits-all solution. For the fifth edition of ComplexRec we have narrowed the focus of the workshop and contributions to the workshop about topics related to one of the two main themes on complex recommendation: complex inputs and complex outputs.
For the past four years (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020), the ComplexRec workshop series has offered an interactive venue for discussing approaches to recommendation in complex scenarios that have no simple one-size-fits-all solution. For the fifth edition of ComplexRec we have narrowed the focus of the workshop and contributions to the workshop about topics related to one of the two main themes on complex recommendation: complex inputs and complex outputs. ComplexRec 2021 will take place as a merged workshop with KARS 2021. The ComplexRec part will be part of the virtual session held on Saturday September 25 from 15:00-19:00 (CEST). Both workshops are co-located with RecSys 2021 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
IMPORTANT: ComplexRec 2021 will take place fully online due to the current Covid-19 pandemic.
