Call for Presentations – RecSysChallenge 2012 Workshop of the Recommender
Systems Challenge
in conjunction with ACM Recommender Systems 2012
Dublin, Ireland, 13 September 2012
*** Extended abstract (2-4 pages) submission deadline: 20 August 2012 ***
*** Accepted presentations to be invited to post-proceedings volume on data-oriented RecSys Challenges ***
The Recommender Systems Challenge of ACM RecSys 2012 (RecSysChallenge 2012)
will take place as a full-day workshop on Thursday September 13th and will
run as an interactive event during which participants will be guided through
the whole process of participating in such a data-oriented contest.
Taking as examples the datasets that drove the contest of this year's
challenge (with data from the Moviepilot and Mendeley platforms), we want to
present, discuss and reflect on all the important steps of developing,
testing and deploying recommendation algorithms over a real-life dataset. It
will start from the way a dataset may be acquired and processed, explore how
an evaluation that will produce results comparable and reproducable by
others may be performed, and close with a discussion on how novel
recommendation approaches can reach final deployment in commercial
applications.
Confirmed speakers include contributors to recommender systems' frameworks
such as Lenskit, Mahout and MyMediaLite; recommender system technology
companies such as Gravity R&D; as well as chief technology officers from
real-life platforms like the Moviepilot and Mendeley ones.
We invite interested researchers and developers to share their experience of
working with a dataset in the context of the RecSysChallenge and report on
their succesful or unsuccesful efforts. Contributions can be related to any
stage of the participation to the challenge. We are particularly interested
to hearing from groups that have gained access to this year's datasets from
Moviepilots and Mendeley but have faced difficulties in developing a
complete and competitive contribution to the RecSysChallenge.
