International Workshop on Social Personalisation co-located with ACM Hypertext 2014

1st International Workshop on Social Personalisation (SP 2014)

We are pleased to announce the first International Workshop on Social Personalisation co-located with the 25th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media, 1–4 Sep 2014, Santiago, Chile.

Objectives

For the Social Personalization workshop, we aim to attract researchers from all over the world working in the fields of User Modeling, Personalization and Recommendations where the social context plays a fundamental role. This topic is important because it involves leveraging new sources of information that are specific for social systems such as shared items and tags, user public profiles, social connections, and logs of user social activities in order to improve people's information access in a wide variety of tasks and across different devices. These social information sources offer social personalization systems a chance to compensate for the lack of information and structure that is used by traditional personalization technologies ranging from recommender systems to E-learning.

Thus, we invite submissions which may include the following topics, but are not limited to:

The goal of this workshop is to share and discuss research that goes hopefully beyond classic personalization techniques, trying to capitalise potentially useful information available in social data for paving the way to more efficient personalized information access technologies.
