Context-Aware Recommender Systems
CARS 26: Workshop on Context-Aware Recommender Systems
In conjunction with
ACM Conference on Recommender Systems 2026
September 28, 2026 - October 2, 2026
Minneapolis Marriott City Center
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
CARS is the long-running venue for context-aware recommendation, where the right suggestion depends not only on who is asking but on when, where, on what device, and with whom. Sessions cover acquiring and representing context, modelling contextual interactions, dealing with the extra sparsity that context introduces, and the evaluation problems that follow when offline logs do not record the context that mattered. Half-day workshop on the morning of Monday 28 September, the first workshop day.
