Registration includes<br />
---------------------------------<br />
<br />
* Admission to all sessions, including, plenary keynotes, main tracks sessions, posters, workshops, tutorials, and AnalytiCup<br />
* Access to digital copy of the proceedings<br />
* Gift: CIKM-21 polo shirt. Register by the early deadline of 15 September to get the shirt before the conference<br />
<br />
---------------------------------<br />
Author Registration Policy<br />
---------------------------------<br />
<br />
* All author registrations should be received by 15 September in order to have the papers included in the proceedings. Only papers covered by a registration will be included in the conference proceedings.<br />
* At least one author from each paper must register for the conference.<br />
<br />
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: Each accepted paper must have an author registration fee paid. For example, if you are the solo author of two papers, you should pay the registration fee twice. On the other hand, if you are an author of two papers, each with other co-author, you may decide to register yourself for one of the papers, and one of your co-authors for the other paper.<br />
<br />

Topics of Interest<br />
---------------------------------<br />
<br />
Conference sessions will include papers on all topics in the general areas of artificial intelligence, data science, databases, information retrieval, and knowledge management. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:<br />
<br />
* Data and information acquisition and preprocessing (e.g., data crawling, IoT data, data quality, data privacy, mitigating biases, data wrangling)<br />
<br />
* Integration and aggregation (e.g., semantic processing, data provenance, data linkage, data fusion, knowledge graphs, data warehousing, privacy and security, modeling, information <br />
credibility)<br />
<br />
* Efficient data processing (e.g., serverless, data-intensive computing, database systems, indexing and compression, architectures, distributed data systems, dataspaces, customized hardware)<br />
<br />
* Special data processing (e.g., multilingual text, sequential, stream, spatio-temporal, (knowledge) graph, multimedia, scientific, and social media data)<br />
<br />
* Analytics and machine learning (e.g., OLAP, data mining, machine learning and AI, scalable analysis algorithms, algorithmic biases, event detection and tracking, understanding, interpretability)<br />
<br />
* Neural Information and knowledge processing (e.g., graph neural networks, domain adaptation, transfer learning, network architectures, neural ranking, neural recommendation, and neural prediction)<br />
<br />
* Information access and retrieval (e.g., ad hoc and web search, facets and entities, question answering and dialogue systems, retrieval models, query processing, personalization, recommender and filtering systems)<br />
<br />
* Users and interfaces for information and data systems (e.g., user behavior analysis, user interface design, perception of biases, personalization, interactive information retrieval, interactive analysis, spoken interfaces)<br />
<br />
