CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd WORKSHOP ON CONTEXT-AWARENESS IN RETRIEVAL AND RECOMMENDATION (CARR
2012) in conjunction with IUI 2012
February 14, 2012 - Lisbon, Portugal
http://carr-workshop.org
General Information:
--------------------
Following the successful 2011 Workshop on Context-awareness in Retrieval
and Recommendation we are delighted to invite you to the second
installment which will be held in conjunction with the 2012 Conference
on Intelligent User Interfaces.
Context-aware information is widely available in various ways such as
interaction patterns, location, devices, annotations, query suggestions
and user profiles and is becoming more and more important for enhancing
retrieval performance and recommendation results. At the moment, the
main issue to cope with is not only recommending or retrieving the most
relevant items and content, but defining them ad-hoc. Further relevant
issues are personalizing and adapting the information and the way it is
displayed to the user's current situation (device, location) and interests.
In this workshop we focus on the integration of context for retrieval
and recommendation. We recognize a general content context and a
user-centric content context. A general content context is a common case
defined by time, weather, location and many similar other aspects. A
user-centric content context is given by the content of user profiles
such as language, interests, devices used for interaction, etc.
Important Dates:
--------------------------
* Paper submission [EXTENDED]: January 6th, 2012
* Notification: January 20th, 2012
* Camera-ready submission: January 27th, 2012
* Workshop: February 14th, 2012
Call for Papers:
----------------
The aim of the CaRR Workshop is to invite the community to a discussion
in which we will try to find new creative ways to handle
context-awareness. Furthermore, the workshop aims at improving the
exchange of ideas between different communities involved in research
concerning, among other HCI, machine learning, information retrieval and
recommendation.
The workshop is especially intended for researchers working on
multidisciplinary tasks who want to discuss problems and synergies.
The participants are encouraged to address the following questions:
* Which benefits come from context-aware retrieval and recommendation
systems?
* How do user interfaces handle context?
* In what ways can context improve HCI?
* How can we combine general- and user-centric context-aware technologies?
* How should context affect the way information is presented?
* Which new means for collecting user feedback does UbiComp provide?
* What new type of items (beyond books, news and movies) are worth
recommending by means of context-aware systems (e.g. places, friends, apps)?
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following
aspects:
* Context-aware information retrieval
* Context-aware profiling, clustering and collaborative filtering
* Machine learning for context-aware information retrieval and ontology
learning
* Ubiquitous and context-aware computing
* Use of context-aware technologies in UI/HCI
* Context-aware advertising
* Recommendations for mobile users
* Context-awareness in portable devices
Paper submissions and reviews will be handled electronically through the
CaRR page in EasyChair (which will be made available at a later point in
time).
