CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
3rd International Workshop on Social Recommender Systems
(in conjunction with UMAP 2012 http://umap2012.polymtl.ca/en/ )
Montreal, Canada, July 16-20, 2012
Social media sites have become tremendously popular in recent years. Yet,
the abundance and popularity of social media floods users with huge volumes
of information and hence poses a great challenge in terms of information
finding. Social Recommender Systems aim to alleviate information overload
for users by presenting the most relevant and useful information items.
Social recommender systems that suggest content (e.g., wikis and forum
posts), people, and communities often use personalization techniques to
adapt to the needs and interests of individual users, or a group of users.
This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners around the
emerging topics of social recommender systems. We will review
state-of-the-art advances in the field and identify key challenges going
forward.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
Social recommender technologies and applications User modeling techniques
and their impact on social recommender systems Recommendations for
individuals and communities and their applications Social recommender
systems in the enterprise Diversity and novelty in social recommender
systems
User interfaces in social recommender systems, especially in recommending
people and communities (SRS) Transparency and explanations in SRS Adaption
and personalization for SRS User feedback in SRS Trust and reputation in SRS
Social awareness and visualization
Evaluation
Evaluation methods and evaluations of SRS User studies
Special focus area: people recommendation Recommending people to connect
with or follow in social media sites Recommending people for communities
User modeling for people recommendation
