The annual SIGIR-AP conference is an annual ACM-sponsored international forum that promotes and disseminates information retrieval research and development within the Asia-Pacific region defined as all of Asia, Australasia, and the islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The 1st ACM SIGIR-AP conference, to be held in Beijing from the 26th to the 29th of November 2023, welcomes contributions related to any aspect of information retrieval and access. The main conference is a two-day event, with a tutorial day and a workshop day before and after the main conference.
SIGIR-AP 2023 is looking for proposals for tutorials that explore topics relevant to information retrieval and its practical uses. Each tutorial should focus deeply on a single subject. For example, tutorials might cover well-established areas of information retrieval, introduce new applications of retrieval technologies, or provide updates on recent advances in related fields.
Submissions should include a cover sheet and an extended abstract. The cover sheet should include the following elements:
The extended abstract (no longer than 4 pages) should include the following sections:
Tutorial proposals should be prepared in the current ACM two-column conference format. Suitable LaTeX, Word, and Overleaf templates are available from the ACM Website (use the “sigconf” proceedings template). The submissions will be reviewed by a program committee selected for this purpose, and final decisions will be made at the SIGIR-AP Program Committee meeting.
Proposals should be submitted in PDF through the EasyChair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigirap2023tutorials
The organizers of accepted tutorials will be invited to submit a camera-ready summary of the tutorial, to be included in the conference proceedings.
