*** 3rd Workshop on Recommender Systems meet Databases ***
in conjunction with the 24th DEXA Conference (http://www.dexa.org/),
26th - 30th August 2013, Prague, Czech Republic
** Call for Papers **
Recommender systems (RS) support users in personalized access to large
collections of data. From a technical perspective, RS have their origins
in different fields such as Information Filtering and Data Mining and
they are built using a broad array of statistical methods and
algorithms. E-Commerce and consumer decision support applications have
been the traditional application domains of these types of systems.
However, the ever-increasing plethora of information supply due to cheap
storage, the web revolution and user generated content applications,
fuels the need for user-centric and context-aware information access and
presentation in many more database application domains. The aim of this
workshop is therefore to provide a forum for discussion and presentation
of latest results that are on the intersection of database and
recommender systems research. Relevant topics for submissions include,
but are not limited to:
* Preference and context modeling in Databases User and Community
Modeling Reputation and Trust Modeling Context Modeling
* New Database Architectures integrating Recommender Systems Rank
integration Resource recommendations Learning to rank Personal and
social aspects in databases Query recommendations Personalized privacy
preserving New data and query models involving users and contexts
Scalability issues of databases and recommender systems
* Innovative applications of Recommender Systems in Databases Preference
elicitation from the Deep Web Filtering based on data harvested from the
Deep Web Content-based recommendations from BLOBs Reputation and trust
management Social recommender systems Visual Analytics for Recommender
Systems
* Semantics in Recommender Systems and Databases Semantic Indexing and
Recommender Systems Semantic Annotation and Recommender Systems Semantic
Deep Web and Recommender Systems Annotation and Indexing of the Deep Web
for Recommender Systems Distributed Semantic Indexing for Recommender
Systems Filtering of the Deep Web
* Evaluation methodologies and approaches User-centric evaluation
Accuracy vs. error metrics Evaluating for novelty, diversity and serendipity
