SUBMISSION DETAILS

SUBMISSION CLOSED FOR 2021. In order to participate, a team must prepare a paper that describes their interactive search engine and how it operates by 20 April 2021. All papers must be formatted according to the ACM proceedings style, should not exceed 6 pages in length and be written in the English Language. LSC’21 will use a single-blind review process for paper and system selection. Submissions should be made through the ICMR’21 EasyChair submission site (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmicmr2021) taking care to select “Workshop -- Lifelog Search Challenge” as the submission track. All accepted LSC’21 papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library in the LSC workshop series, and invited to contribute to a journal special issue on LSC’21. 


The submission format is PDF. In your paper, we ask that you focus on describing the system and how it works. It is advisable to give some initial results based on the test and validation topics that will be released with the dataset. It is not necessary to provide a long description of the dataset because the organisers will provide this separately. Finally, the organisers are planning a special issue of a computing journal as a follow-up activity in which the workshop and results will be discussed. All accepted authors will be invited to submit (substantially) modified versions of the LSC2021 papers to this special issue.

Publication Notice: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. Please take this into consideration if you are seeking to protect any IP arising from your research.

Contact: For any questions regarding the paper submission, please email the chairs at lsc@computing.dcu.ie
