This is the third call for papers (CfP) of the first edition of the workshop on Context Representation in User Modelling (CRUM) co-located with the ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (UMAP) is taking place on 26 June 2023 in Limassol, Cyprus. Website: https://crum-workshop.github.io/ <https://crum-workshop.github.io/> Submission deadline: 20 April 2023AoE Submission: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=umap23 <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=umap23> select the track “1st Workshop on Context Representation in User Modeling (CRUM 2023)” For further information: crum.workshop(a)gmail.com <mailto:crum.workshop@gmail.com> *** Abstract *** Context, i.e. the information describing the situation of a user or any object deemed relevant in human-computer interaction, is a critical aspect of user modelling, adaptation, and personalisation. The exact meaning and realisation of contextual information can vary based on the application area, but identifying such relevant information within an interactive situation can determine the appropriateness of the system's behaviour. The workshop on Context Representation in User Modelling (CRUM) aims to become a place where novel and emerging context representation methods can be introduced while existing approaches can be highlighted, contrasted, and evaluated. We also welcome submissions tackling challenges in related areas, including the use of context information for explainability and context modelling for privacy within adaptive systems. *** Topics *** The goal of CRUM 2023 is to be a venue which presents researchers with the opportunity to discuss, present, and promote research pertaining to context representation as it impacts the modelling and storing of user information, the use of contextual information in adaptive systems, ubiquitous computing applications, intelligent personal assistants, and all other computer systems that enable personalisation as well as the contribution of contextual information to the functioning, improvement, evaluation, and scrutability of such systems. Topics considered relevant for this workshop which would be listed in the call for contributions include: • Capturing and storing contextual information; • Situation-aware user modelling and adaptive systems; • Contextrepresentationforpersonalisation; • Adaptation of user models based on spatial, temporal, or situational context; • Capturing and ranking application-specific context in hypermedia user applications; • Context as the relevance of static and dynamic external characteristics within recommendation systems; • Contextualisingproactivebehaviour; • Context-aware personalised pervasive computing; • The role of context for user modelling in recommender systems; • Evaluation frameworks for capturing, representing, and using contextual information in agent decision-making; • Role of context and context representation within explainable adaptation; • Scrutability of contextual representation in personalised systems; • Evaluating the impact of context on user modelling. *** Submission, presentation, and publication *** Workshop papers should use the same ACM template (single-column format) and formatting adopted by the main conference (you can retrieve them at https://www.um.org/umap2023/call-for-papers/ <https://www.um.org/umap2023/call-for-papers/>, Section "Length and formatting"). Workshop papers up toseven pages (excluding references) are allowed. For appropriate work in progress or smaller results, submissions with fewer pages are encouraged. At least one author is expected to personally attend the conference and present the paper, for it to be published. In line with the UMAP 2023 policy, hybrid activities cannot be supported. Accepted papers are published by ACM in the UMAP adjunct proceedings. *** Organisation *** The workshop is co-chaired by: • Owen Conlan, ADAPT Centre, Trinity College Dublin, owen.conlan(a)tcd.ie <mailto:owen.conlan@tcd.ie> • Judy Kay, University of Sydney The workshop is co-organised by: Jovan Jeromela(jeromelj(a)tcd.ie <mailto:jeromelj@tcd.ie>), Dipto Barman, Hassan Zaal, Alok Debnath, and Awais Akbar, all of ADAPT Centre, Trinity College Dublin. *** Important dates *** Submission deadline: 20 April 2023 Notification: 8 May 2023 Camera-Ready (TAPS System): 18 May 2023 Workshop date: 26 June 2023 (Limassol, Cyprus) -- Dipto Barman PhD Student, funded by D-Real Adapt Centre, School of Computer Science and Statistics Trinity College Dublin -- Dipto Barman PhD Student, funded by D-Real Adapt Centre, School of Computer Science and Statistics Trinity College Dublin -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Indeed, we are now used to interacting every day with algorithms that help us in several scenarios, ranging from services that suggest us music to be listened to or movies to be watched, to personal assistants able to proactively support us in complex decision-making tasks. As the importance of such technologies in our everyday lives grows, it is fundamental that the internal mechanisms that guide these algorithms are as clear as possible. It is not by chance that the recent General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) emphasized the users' right to explanation when people face intelligence systems. Unfortunately, the current research tends to go in the opposite direction, since most of the approaches try to maximize the effectiveness of the personalization strategy (e.g., recommendation accuracy) at the expense of the explainability and the transparency of the model. The main research questions which arise from this scenario is simple and straightforward: how can we deal with such a dichotomy between the need for effective adaptive systems and the right to transparency and interpretability? Several research lines are triggered by this question: building scrutable user models and transparent algorithms, analyzing the impact of opaque algorithms on final users, studying the role of explanation strategies, and investigating how to provide users with more control in the personalization and adaptation problems. The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing such problems, challenges, and innovative research approaches in the area, by investigating the role of transparency and explainability in the recent methodologies for building user models or for developing personalized and adaptive systems. ====== TOPICS ====== Topics of interest include but are not limited to: ∑ TRANSPARENT AND EXPLAINABLE PERSONALIZATION STRATEGIES o Scrutable User Models o Transparent User Profiling and Personal Data Extraction o Explainable Personalization and Adaptation Methodologies o Novel strategies (e.g., conversational recommender systems) for building transparent algorithms o Transparent Personalization and Adaptation to Groups of users ∑ DESIGNING EXPLANATION ALGORITHMS o Explanation algorithms based on the item description and item properties o Explanation algorithms based on user-generated content (e.g., reviews) o Explanation algorithms based on collaborative information o Building explanation algorithms for opaque personalization techniques (e.g., neural networks, matrix factorization) o Explanation algorithms based on methods to build group models ∑ DESIGNING TRANSPARENT AND EXPLAINABLE USER INTERFACES o Transparent User Interfaces o Methodologies for designing transparent interaction o Novel paradigms (e.g. chatbots) for building transparent models ∑ EVALUATING TRANSPARENCY AND EXPLAINABILITY o Evaluating Transparency in interaction or personalization o Evaluating the Explainability of the algorithms o Designing User Studies for evaluating transparency and explainability o Novel metrics and experimental protocols ∑ OPEN ISSUES IN TRANSPARENT AND EXPLAINABLE USER MODELS AND PERSONALIZED SYSTEMS o Ethical issues (Fairness and Biases) in User Models and Personalized Systems o Privacy management of Personal and Social data o Discussing Recent Regulations (GDPR) and future directions ============ SUBMISSIONS ============ We encourage the submission of contributions investigating novel methodologies to exploit heterogeneous personal data and approaches to build transparent and scrutable user models. In particular, we accept three kinds of submissions: (A) Regular papers (max. 10 pages + references - single-column ACM format) (B) Ongoing projects, Demo and Short papers (max. 5 pages + references - single-column ACM format); (C) Journal papers (already published - 2 pages including abstract, highlights, and a pointer to the complete paper - single-column ACM format); Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap23 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap23> During the submission process select “5th Workshop on Explainable User Models and Personalized Systems (ExUM)” All submitted papers will be evaluated by at least two members of the program committee, based on originality, significance, relevance, and technical quality. Note that the references do not count toward page limits. Submissions should be single-blinded, i.e. authors’ names should be included in the submissions. Papers must be formatted according to the new workflow for ACM publications.
