-------------------------------------------------------------------
The RecSys research community has done a tremendous job in the last
decade on exploiting various data sources to improve recommendations of
all kind through sophisticated algorithms. The workshop complements
these core RecSys activities by pushing the agenda of taking into
account user-centric aspects, such as emotions and personality, into
the RecSys framework.
In fact, personality and emotions shape our daily lives by having a
strong influence on our preferences, decisions and behaviour in
general. 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.
TOPICS
======
The topics include but are not limited to:
- usage of affect to improve personalized systems
- usage of personality to improve personalized systems
- implicit detection of affect for personalized systems
- implicit detection of personality for personalized systems
- computational models of emotion and personality
- affect and personality as contextual factors
- affect as implicit feedback
- affect and personality in cross domain recommenders
- affect and personality as user/item similarities
- affect and personality-based evaluation methods
- affect and personality in applications (e.g. movie recommenders,
music recommenders, e-learning, people-to-people recommenders etc.)
- affect and personality with human decision making
- affect and personality in group recommenders
- affect and personality for the cold-start problem
- privacy aspects of the usage of affect and personality in
personalized systems
- affect and personality in connection to social media
The prospective authors may wish to use any of the following datasets
in their research.
Note that the usage of these datasets *IS NOT* a prerequisite for
acceptance. The list is provided as a starting point only:
- LDOS Comoda dataset: [4]http://mcaf.ee/g46nh
- LJ2M dataset: [5]http://mcaf.ee/7wn5t
- myPersonality dataset: [6]http://mcaf.ee/va7ig
- DEAP dataset: [7]http://mcaf.ee/mlup3
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
=======================
We accept three kinds of submissions:
(i) long technical papers (up to 12 pages)
(ii) short technical papers (up to 8 pages)
(iii) white papers/position statements (up to 8 pages)
Submissions should be done through the easychair conference system:
[8]https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=empire2015
and must adhere to the new ACM SIG Proceedings format. You can download
the Word and Latex templates here:
[9]http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-templa
te.html/
If you have any issues with the template please contact
[10]acmtexsupport at aptaracorp.com. All the submissions will be
peer-reviewed. The reviewing process will be double-blind so the
authors should remove the author names (or any other traces that might
reveal the authorship, such as affiliations, acknowledgment of
sponsors, direct references to previous work etc.) from the submission.
The accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library in the
workshop's standalone proceedings.
REGISTRATION
=======================
At least one author of each accepted paper must register to RecSys
during the early registration period (before August 16th, 2015) and
attend the conference/workshop (there will be no option to register
only for the workshop) in order to be included in the workshop
proceedings.
