About

Conversational systems have improved dramatically recently and are gaining adoption in industries such as e-commerce, banking, finance and real estate to name a few. Although there is a lot of reserach done in developing conversational systems spanning areas such as dialogue systems, NLP, NLU, HCI, search and recommender systems; there are additional challenges when a product is created based on conversational systems and deployed to real world users. Research from different areas come together when conversational systems are put in practice along with unique and additional challenges. This workshop aims to bring researchers and practitioners together to discuss issues, learnings, challenges and research in productization of the conversational systems and their deployment to the real world.

We invite quality research contributions, position and opinion papers addressing relevant challenges in the domain of conversational systems. We invite submission of papers and posters of two to ten pages (including references), representing original research, preliminary research results, proposals for new work, position and opinion papers.

This workshop is a half day workshop taking place on , Aug 24, 2020 in conjunction with KDD 2020 in San Diego, CA.
