TaxoConf: Taxonomy-Guided Automatic Conference Program Organization

- 基于会议专属话题树构建论文分组框架,用加权距离衡量论文相似性。
- 在4个2025年会议数据上达成最高主题一致性(4.62/5)和人类标注匹配度(NMI 0.761)。
- 已用于SIGIR 2026,91.8%口头报告保留,无约束违规,现场评分4.26/5。
会议程序组织是一项繁重任务,需在严格运营约束下将论文分入主题连贯的会话。现有方法难以同时兼顾主题一致性和约束满足。本文提出TaxoConf,一种基于会议特定话题分类体系的系统。该系统对已接收论文构建规范化的多父节点分类体系,并以最具体主题集合表示每篇论文。通过该分类体系推导出加权最优传输距离,进而求解二值整数规划问题,最小化会话内距离并满足所有硬约束。在四个2025年会议构建的基准上,TaxoConf实现最高会话连贯性(4.62/5)和与人工编排会话最接近的一致性(NMI 0.761),且无约束违规。该系统已部署于SIGIR 2026,组织者仅做少量修改即采纳初始输出,保留91.8%的口头报告安排并完整保留海报环节,无需修正约束违规。47名参会者现场调查显示整体程序质量得分为4.26/5。系统已公开:https://taxoconf.com。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Conference program organization, the task of assembling accepted papers into a technical program, is labor-intensive. Papers must be grouped into topically coherent sessions under hard operational constraints, and existing methods rarely achieve both at once. To address this problem, we present TaxoConf, a system that organizes conference programs around a conference-specific topic taxonomy. TaxoConf constructs a canonicalized multi-parent taxonomy over the accepted papers and represents each paper by its frontier of most specific topics. It derives a specificity-weighted optimal-transport distance between papers from this taxonomy, then solves a binary integer programming problem that assigns papers to sessions by minimizing within-session distance subject to all hard constraints. On benchmarks built from four 2025 conferences, TaxoConf attains the highest session coherence (4.62 out of 5) and the closest agreement with human-curated sessions (NMI 0.761) while incurring no constraint violations. TaxoConf has also been deployed to generate the technical program of SIGIR 2026, where the organizers accepted the initial output with only a few edits, preserving 91.8% of oral assignments and the entire poster program while requiring no correction of hard-constraint violations, and an on-site survey of 47 attendees rated the overall program quality 4.26 out of 5. The system is publicly available at https://taxoconf.com.
