CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
6th International Workshop on Social Recommender Systems (SRS 2015) in conjunction with 21st ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD 2015) http://www.kdd.org/kdd2015/ Sydney, Australia, August 10th, 2015 http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/~lichen/srs2015/ ============================================================== 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 Model of recommendation context for social recommender systems Characteristics of online social sites in need of social recommenders Culture-specific social recommenders New algorithms suitable for social recommender systems People recommendation and social matching Filtering and personalization of social streams Emerging applications for social recommender systems Recommendations for groups and communities Recommender systems and the semantic web Social recommender systems in the enterprise Diversity and novelty in social recommender systems Recommendations for new social media users User Interfaces in social recommender systems Transparency and explanations in SRS Adaption and personalization for SRS User feedback in SRS Trust and reputation in SRS Social awareness and visualization Privacy of SRS Evaluation Evaluation methods and evaluations of SRS User studies Crowdsourcing for recommendation evaluation ============================================================== IMPORTANT DATES June 12th, 2015: Submission deadline (extended) June 30th, 2015: Paper notification July 15th, 2015: Camera-ready submission August 10th, 2015: Workshop held ============================================================== SUBMISSION TYPES & PROCEDURE We are seeking participants from both academia and industry who are conducting researches on all aspects of social recommender systems.
