*** CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ***
28th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation
and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2020)
University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy, July 14-17, 2020
https://www.um.org/umap2020/
Proposals due: January 20, 2020
Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap2020
ACM UMAP 2020, the premier international conference for researchers and
practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to
groups of users, and which collect, represent, and model user information,
is pleased to invite proposals for tutorials to be given in conjunction
with the conference. Tutorials are intensive instructional sessions aimed
to provide a comprehensive introduction to established or emerging research
topics of interest for the UMAP community.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-
new user modeling technologies, methods, techniques, and trends (e.g.
exploiting data mining and big data analytics for user modeling, evaluation
methodologies, data visualization, etc.);
-
user modeling and personalization techniques for specific domains (e.g.,
health sciences, e-government, e-commerce, cultural heritage, education,
internet of things, mobile, music, information retrieval, etc.);
-
application of user modeling and personalization techniques for
information retrieval and recommender systems;
-
eliciting and learning user preferences by taking into account users’
emotional state, physical state, personality, trust, cognitive factors.
An ideal tutorial should be broad enough to provide a basic introduction to
the chosen area, but it should also cover the most important topics in
depth. Tutorial presenters can have one page in the adjunct proceedings.
