The First International Workshop on
Item IDentifiers Design,
Evaluation, and Adaptation

Overview

The First International Workshop on Item IDentifiers Design, Evaluation, and Adaptation (IDEA) brings together research on raw (atomic), semantic, and hybrid item IDs used as learned features or token sequences in search, recommendation, computational advertising, and other Web systems.

We focus on how ID representations are designed and learned, evaluated and compared, and adapted as items, interactions, and models evolve. The half-day, in-person workshop welcomes methods, empirical studies, and deployment experience across all three ID families, with keynote talks, contributed presentations, and open discussion.
