Extremely happy to see that our ( @evazangerle, Christine Bauer) Special Issue on Perspectives on Recommender Systems Evaluation in the ACM Transactions on Recommender Systems has been published in the ACM Digital Library. The Special Issue consists of 10 papers all presenting different perspectives on #recsys evaluation. #acmtors#tors https://dl.acm.org/toc/tors/2024/2/1
Another #ECIR2024 preprint! Lex Beattie, Henriette Cramer, Sole Pera, and I map the space of goals and “intervention strategies” for consumer-side impacts of IR & #recsys (with application to other stakeholders too).
We argue that effective impact work needs to be well-grounded, contextualized in broad and creative thinking about possibilities, and use methods that are well-matched to the goals. TL;DR put down the regularizer and step away from the algorithm.
Glad to announce that the paper "A sensemaking system for grouping and suggesting stories from multiple affective viewpoints in museums" (available @ https://lnkd.in/dU5S3uee ) - based on the results of the SPICE H2020 EU project https://spice-h2020.eu/ on the #deaf community of museum users - has been accepted in the special issue on #IntelligentSystems for people with diverse cognitive abilities of the Human–Computer Interaction journal (Taylor & Francis).
We're organizing the #RecSys summer school in June in Copenhagen. Check out the program and register at https://acmrecsys.github.io/rsss2023/
Super happy to have @ACM Europe Council, @Recsys, @sigchi, and the Danish Data Science Academy in the list of supporters making this event possible.
Really excited to be a part of an #NSFFunded effort to build shared infrastructure for #recsys research with real users of a news recommendation platform. Stay tuned over next couple years for more details, like a name and opportunities to propose experiments you'd like to run on the platform. https://new.nsf.gov/news/advancing-artificial-intelligence-research
