Re: [Wikidata] ACM UMAP 2021: Third Call-for-Papers - Updated submission information

2021-01-12 Thread Andra Waagmeester
I am a bit surprised that a call for papers seems to touch such a nerve
here. Agreed, this mailing list can be very chatty and not only on "call
for papers", but doesn't that come with the territory? I briefly scanned
this "Call-for-papers" and I actually can see that it might appeal to some
communities within the Wikidata universe, so I don't think we should censor
this just yet.

We should also not forget that Wikidata has achieved a lot and as such is
inspirational to many. With that comes the burden of having to accept some
level of "spammy call-for-papers".

just my 2ct.

Cheers,

Andra

Hi,

As a mailing-list admin, I can filter some senders on request. Feel free to
ping wikidata-ow...@lists.wikimedia.org if there's a consensus.

I'll also take this opportunity to mention that the Wikidata mailing-list
is welcoming new trustworthy moderators if someone is interested and
willing to help with filtering, settings, spam, and making sure that the
atmosphere on this mailing-list stays polite and friendly.

Cheers,
Léa

Hi,

I don't want to be "unwelcoming" but can't we filter out all of these
spammy "Call-for-Papers" unrelated to Wikidata? Wikidatian really does not
seem to be the target here.

[Wikidata] ACM UMAP 2021: Third Call-for-Papers - Updated submission information

2021-01-10 Thread Oana Inel

--- Apologies for cross-posting ---

 Updated Submission and Review Process Information 


Call for Papers - ACM UMAP 2021
29th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and 
Personalization
Theme: "Re-Evaluating Evaluation in Personalization Research"

Hybrid: Utrecht (The Netherlands) and Online
June 21-25th (tentative), 2021

Website: https://www.um.org/umap2021/


Abstracts due: January 17, 2021 (mandatory)
Full paper due: January 24, 2021



BACKGROUND AND SCOPE:

ACM UMAP – User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization – is the premier 
international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems 
that adapt to individual users or to groups of users, and that collect, 
represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and 
SIGWEB, and organized with User Modeling Inc. as the core Steering Committee, 
extended with past years’ chairs. The proceedings are published by ACM and will 
be part of the ACM Digital Library.

ACM UMAP covers a wide variety of research areas where personalization and 
adaptation may be applied. This includes a number of domains in which 
researchers are engendering significant innovations based on advances in user 
modeling and adaptation, recommender systems, adaptive educational systems, 
intelligent user interfaces, e-commerce, advertising, digital humanities, 
social networks, personalized health, entertainment, and many more.

We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization and 
adaptation; the conference web site provides a detailed list. Below we present 
a short (but not proscriptive) list of topics of importance to the conference. 
As the theme for UMAP 2021 is “Re-Evaluating Evaluation” we encourage 
submissions in all areas that offer a critical analysis of evaluations of 
personalized systems. We particularly want to acknowledge that some of the 
research might be influenced by Covid-19 related constraints (e.g., difficulty 
of running lab studies), and welcome submissions which introduce novel 
methodologies arising from a need to conduct research in new ways.


CONFERENCE TOPICS:

We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization and adaptation 
in any area. The topics listed below are not intended to limit possible 
contributions.
Final decisions will be made on the basis of suitability for, and fit to, the 
overall conference (not for specific tracks). Additionally, there is no quota 
for the maximal number of accepted papers per track. Topics include (but are 
not limited to):
• Personalized Recommender Systems
• Track chairs: Alejandro Bellogin, Sole Pera, Ludovico Boratto
• Adaptive Hypermedia and the Semantic Web
• Track chairs: Maria Bielikova, Panagiotis Germanakos, Ben Steichen
• Intelligent User Interfaces
• Track chairs: Katrien Verbert, Denis Parra
• Personalized Social Web
• Track chairs: Julita Vassileva, Jie Zhang
• Technology-Enhanced Adaptive Learning
• Track chairs: Ella Haig, Manolis Mavrikis
• Fairness, Transparency, Accountability, and Privacy
• Track chairs: Christine Bauer, Michael Ekstrand
• Personalization for Persuasive and Behavior Change Systems
• Track chairs: Jaap Ham, Rita Orji


SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS

Papers will be submitted through EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021


Long (14 pages + references) and Short (7 pages + references) papers in the new 
ACM single-column style. Appendices count toward the page limit, we recommend 
that supplementary material is linked to an external source using an anonymised 
URL. Original research papers addressing the theory and/or practice of UMAP, 
and papers showcasing innovative use of UMAP and exploring the benefits and 
challenges of applying UMAP technology in real-life applications and contexts 
are welcome.


  *   Long papers should present original reports of substantive new research 
techniques, findings, and applications of UMAP. They should place the work 
within the field and clearly indicate its innovative aspects. Research 
procedures and technical methods should be presented in sufficient detail to 
ensure scrutiny and reproducibility. Results should be clearly communicated and 
implications of the contributions/findings for UMAP and beyond should be 
explicitly discussed.

  *   Short papers should present original and highly promising research or 
applications. Merit will be assessed in terms of originality and importance 
rather than maturity, extensive technical validation, and user studies. 
Separation of long and short papers will be strictly enforced so papers will 
not compete across categories, but only within each category.

Papers must be formatted according to the new workflow for ACM SIG 
publications. The templates and instructions are available here: Standard 
(SIGCONF)
