Recommender systems automate the process of passing experience from a community
of users to an individual user who is about to make a decision. They support
people in making recommendations and in finding a set of people who are likely
to provide good recommendations for a given person.
This workshop will focus on user and usage aspects of recommender systems. The
workshop will consider, among others, the following issues:
- for which domains and which communities of users are recommender systems appropriate?
- empirical evaluation of deployed systems
- can interest profiles be constructed automatically from implicit input?
- what types of incentives must be provided to motivate users to participate?
- how should recommender systems communicate their results to users?
- privacy aspects
Applicants should send position papers (3-5 pages, preferably in pdf format) to
the organizers, articulating their interests, ideas, and experiences in
recommender systems. Application demonstrations are strongly encouraged. We
welcome people with a variety of insights and perspectives, e.g. HCI,
artificial intelligence, visualization, information retrieval. Participants
will be selected based on their position papers, while seeking to balance the
perspectives and interests of participants. This workshop is limited to 15
participants.
All accepted position papers will be placed on a web site by the organizers.
Participants will be expected to read the position papers of all other
participants prior to the workshop and to prepare a brief presentation of their
own views. Participants will be asked to assist in the preparation of a report
after the workshop.
