ACM Conference on Recommender Systems

ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (ACM RecSys) is an A-ranked peer-reviewed academic conference series about <a href="/facts/Recommender_systems/HjodW6nS">recommender systems</a>. It is held annually in different locations, and organized by different organizers, but a Steering Committee supervises the organization. The conference proceedings are published by the <a href="/facts/Association_for_Computing_Machinery/abI2atlP">Association for Computing Machinery</a>. Acceptance rates for full papers are typically below 20%. This conference series focuses on issues such as <a href="/facts/Algorithm/fnl5NmRt">algorithms</a>, <a href="/facts/Machine_learning/e0w0XJTu">machine learning</a>, <a href="/facts/Human-computer_interaction/EkmIxGCx">human-computer interaction</a>, and <a href="/facts/Data_science/AHYUo0Rn">data science</a> from a <a href="/facts/Multi-disciplinary/HP0uaNUs">multi-disciplinary</a> perspective. The conference community includes <a href="/facts/Computer_scientists/lN3pEyPz">computer scientists</a>, <a href="/facts/Statisticians/9FBnXfeN">statisticians</a>, <a href="/facts/Social_scientists/hAbm1xtD">social scientists</a>, <a href="/facts/Psychologists/J4l4QdX2">psychologists</a>, and others.
The conference is sponsored every year by ten to 20 <a href="/facts/Big_Tech/n3mdHnMK">Big Tech</a> companies such as <a href="/facts/Amazon.com/YzUTUVE8">Amazon</a>, <a href="/facts/Netflix/TKtlFVY9">Netflix</a>, <a href="/facts/Meta_Platforms/ylApt16y">Meta</a>, <a href="/facts/Nvidia/8QfCgqbu">Nvidia</a>, <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a>, <a href="/facts/Google/GT9Sugza">Google</a>, and <a href="/facts/Spotify/wsTSvDD8">Spotify</a>.
While an <a href="/facts/Academic_conference/0YAVfxe3">academic conference</a>, RecSys attracts many practitioners and industry researchers, with industry attendance making up the majority of attendees, this is also reflected in the authorship of research papers. Many works published at the conference have direct impact on recommendation and personalization practice in industry affecting millions of users.
Recommender systems are pervasive in online systems, the conference provides opportunities for researchers and practitioners to address specific problems in various workshops in conjunction with the conference, topics include responsible recommendation, causal reasoning, and others. The workshop themes follow recent developments in the broader machine learning and human-computer interaction topics. 
The conference is the host of the ACM RecSys Challenge, a yearly competition in the spirit of the <a href="/facts/Netflix_Prize/EjSMRA5b">Netflix Prize</a> focussing on a specific recommendation problem. The Challenge has been organized by companies such as <a href="/facts/Twitter/VWwDNGUm">Twitter</a>, and <a href="/facts/Spotify/wsTSvDD8">Spotify</a>. Participation in the challenge is open to everyone and participation in it has become a means of showcasing ones skills in recommendations, similar to <a href="/facts/Kaggle/XuEmk22y">Kaggle</a> competitions.
