Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------
Personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a strong influence on our preferences, decisions and behaviour in general. Hence, personalized systems that want to adapt to end users need to be aware of the user’s personality and emotions to perform well.
Recently, there have been extensive studies on the role of personality on user preferences, gaming styles and learning styles. Furthermore, some studies showed that it is possible to extract personality information about a user without annoying questionnaires, by analyzing the publicly available user’s social media feeds. Also, the affective computing community has developed sophisticated techniques that allow for accurate and unobtrusive emotion detection. Such affective information can be used in various personalized systems like recommender systems.
In recent years, emotions and personality have shown to play an important role in various aspects of recommender systems, such as implicit feedback, contextual information, affective content labeling, cold-start problem, diversity, cross-domain recommendations, group recommendations etc. With the development of robust techniques for the unobtrusive acquisition of emotions (e.g. from various modalities, such as video or physiological sensors) and personality (e.g. from social media) the time is right to take advantage of these possibilities to collect massive datasets and improve recommender systems.
The focus section of IxD&A aims at sharing research papers discussing innovative opportunities and challenges on the usage of affect and personality to improve personalized systems.
