Call for papers: The 1th International Workshop on Temporal Aspects in User Modelling (UMTempAspects)
https://sites.google.com/edu.haifa.ac.il/umtempaspects/home
UMTempAspects 2017 is co-located with ACM UMAP 2017, 9-12th July 2017 at FIIT STU, Bratislava, Slovakia
Abstract and Topics
The workshop will focus on considering temporal aspects for user modelling.
Nowadays computerized systems strive to provide personalized services to their users, from product recommendations, to education and personalized medicine tailoring online courses and healthcare services to the individual needs and preferences. An essential component to support personalization of services is a user model a representation of the user in the specific domain of interest, whether it is a recommendation about a product, a piece of content, a route to a destination or a medical treatment, all must take the user characteristics into consideration. Naturally, the user model needs to be adapted over time, as new information is acquired by the system and user behavior evolves. The need to continuously update the user model stems from the simple fact that new information about users becomes continuously available and that users change: their characteristics and preferences change over time they acquire new skills, gain experience, their tastes, preferences, goals change as well as their physical, psychological and physiological characteristics Therefore, there is a strong temporal aspect in user modelling and a need to research it further.
The workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working in order to look at the challenges from the point of view of the temporal aspects in user modelling. All in all, the workshop will aim at attracting presentations of novel ideas for addressing these challenges and how to advance the current state of the art in this field.
Topics (of interest) include (but are not limited to):
Specific applications and case studies (evaluation)
Specific methods and techniques for integrating temporal aspects into the user modelling
Considering temporal aspects in group modelling
Lifelong user modelling
Concept drift in user modelling
Temporal-based Personalization
Cross domain temporal patterns
Interaction
o Temporal aspects of conversational interfaces
o Interaction concepts with personal (mobile or desktop) and group (on-site public or desktop) displays
o Information needs, information access (incl. visualization) and search patterns
o Personalized explanations (in recommendation systems: movies, people, e-commerce products etc.)
