The special theme of this year's workshop is From Research to Product: Challenges, Lessons, and Opportunities in eCommerce Search and RecommendationsThe SIGIR Workshop on eCommerce will serve as a platform for publication and discussion of Information Retrieval, NLP, and Computer Vision research relative to their applications in the domain of eCommerce. This workshop will bring together practitioners and researchers from academia and industry to discuss the challenges and approaches to product search and recommendation in eCommerce.
Recently, the rapid evolution of emerging technologies, including large language models (LLMs) and generative AI, has introduced fresh opportunities and challenges for eCommerce search and recommendations. As many organizations race to adopt new technology, the knowledge required to tackle the practical challenges of productionization risks becoming siloed. Avoiding this requires continued dialogue between IR academia and industry, and across various eCommerce organizations. The goal of our workshop is to bridge these gaps and foster collaboration for this crucial exchange of information.
To support this goal, the special theme of ECOM25 is From Research to Product: Challenges, Lessons, and Opportunities in eCommerce Search and Recommendations.
SIGIR eCom is a full day workshop taking place on Thursday, July 17, 2025 in conjunction with SIGIR 2025. SIGIR eCom'25 will be an in-person workshop.
