We will bring together researchers and practitioners across natural language processing, information retrieval, machine learning and human-computer interaction fields. Among other topics, we will discuss design, evaluation and human factors in relation to automating information-seeking dialogues. The workshop will also feature a shared task on Conversational Question Answering.

SCAI is already an established venue with a long-standing tradition of building bridges and integrating expertise from diverse research communities. It was previously organised in the context of ICTIR 2017, EMNLP 2018, TheWebConf 2019, IJCAI 2019 and EMNLP 2020.

The program will include paper presentations on topics relevant to Conversational Search that were recently published at the top-tire venues, such as ACL, NAACL, EMNLP, SIGDIAL, TOIS, SIGIR, WSDM, ECIR, RecSys, CHIIR, CHI, CUI, CSCW.
