The workshop proceedings are now available
online. This includes the Who's Who in Recommender Systems 2001.
Workshop Description & Goals
Recommender systems assist and augment the transfer of recommendations
between members of a community. A typical system collects preferences or
opinions from individual users, then aggregates and transfers those recommendations
to other members of the community. Recommender systems are often referred
to as "collaborative filtering systems".
In this workshop, we seek to bring together researchers and practitioners
who are involved in the development of recommender systems. The theme will
be "algorithms, applications, and interfaces". The key goals of the workshop
are to
-
Provide a forum where current practitioners can meet and discuss recommender
system issues
-
Identify the most important open problems
-
See presentations of important work or results related to recommender systems
For more information, please see the Call for
Participation.
Who's Who in Recommender Systems
As part of this workshop, we are taking a snapshot of current work and
practitioners in the field of recommender systems. So even if you don't
plan to attend the 2001 Recommender Systems Workshop, if you are involved
in recommender systems please submit a one page summary of your current
and/or past recommender systems work. This summary will be included as
part of the Who's Who in Recommender Systems, which will be published
as part of the workshop proceedings. See the Call
