ACM Conference on Recommender Systems

[5] This conference series focuses on issues such as algorithms, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and data science from a multi-disciplinary perspective.

The conference is sponsored every year by ten to 20 Big Tech companies such as Amazon, Netflix, Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, and Spotify.

[8] Many works published at the conference have direct impact on recommendation and personalization practice in industry[9][10][11] affecting millions of users.

The conference is the host of the ACM RecSys Challenge, a yearly competition in the spirit of the Netflix Prize focussing on a specific recommendation problem.

While the number of submissions has increased, the conference's acceptance rate has become more selective, declining from 46% in its inaugural year to a range of 17-24% in more recent editions.
