The First International Workshop on Recommender Systems for Social Networks (RESSON 2013)

----------------------------- In conjunction with ICDM 2013 Dallas, Texas, USA December 8, 2013

http://sydney.edu.au/engineering/it/~pizzato/workshop/resson2013/ Paper deadline: August 3, 2013

======================================================

[[ Call For Papers ]]

Recommenders are a flagship application for knowledge discovery and data mining

since they have become an important tool for dealing with and overcoming the information overload in massive and complex data domains. At the same time, social networking in the Web 2.0 involves gigabytes of data that can be mined to make recommendations while they allow for developing new insights into people's behavior; such insights can be used for improving the quality of the recommendations. However, the exploitation of social information in recommender systems brings new challenges to the area of data mining and knowledge discovery.

The goal of this workshop is to highlight these challenges and to solicit papers that propose state-of-the-art solutions to recommender tasks on the basis of social information. Our workshop shall provide a framework for directing and inspiring new pathways of data mining and knowledge discovery research within recommender systems.

Open questions to be addressed in the solicited papers include:

What is the effect of one's social network in their recommendation? What are the best strategies for recommending team formation? How to integrate heterogeneous data and different social network information? How to ensure privacy whilst still providing relevant recommendations to users? How should the few advances on online recommenders be transferred to the context of social networks? How should a recommender respond to drifts and shifts in the behavior of people, how should advances on learning under drift be transferred in this context?

[[ Topics ]]

We encourage papers submitted to RESSON to focus on the following topics:

Dynamics of social recommenders Online recommenders Exploiting bursts in recommenders Capturing time in social recommenders Link recommendation and prediction in social networks Recommendation in time evolving social networks Mining and learning from social data Opinion mining for recommendations Latent models and beyond for social recommenders Group recommendation in social networks Collaborative filtering in social networks Recommendation in social media Team formation and team recommendation Community recommendations in social networks Online dating recommendations Expert search and expertise recommendation Rating prediction in social rating networks Mining social influence Learning for tagommenders Learning to recommend images from social data Scalability of recommender systems Learning robust models Fast online recommenders Indexing social data for recommenders Learning recommenders from complex data Location-aware recommenders Multi-criteria recommenders Recommendations for the long tail Incremental learning for social recommendations Cross-domain recommendation in social rating networks Privacy issues in recommender systems Privacy of recommendation in social networks Recommendation in social networks with distrust
