2011 - Workshop on Human Decision Making inRecommender Systems

This is in conjunction with the 5th ACM Conference on Recommender
Systems (RecSys’11)

Topics of this workshop (but are not limited to):
■ Decision theories in recommender systems (e.g., priming, framing,
and decoy effects)
■ Preference detection (e.g., eye tracking for automated preference
detection)
■ The role of emotions in recommender systems (e.g., emotion‐ware
recommendation)
■ Trust inspiring recommendation (e.g., explanation‐aware
recommendation)
■ Persuasive recommendation (e.g., argumentation‐aware
recommendation)
■ Cultural differences (e.g., culture‐aware recommendation)
■ Mechanisms for effective group decision making (e.g., group
recommendation heuristics)
■ User interfaces for group decision making (e.g., group decision
making in e‐tourism)
■ Decision theories for effective group decision making (e.g., hidden
profile management)
■ Detection and avoidance of decision biases (e.g., in item
presentations)
■ User interfaces for decision making (e.g., decision strategies and
user ratings)
■ Critiquing‐based recommender systems
■ Knowledge‐based recommender systems
■ Empirical studies
■ Applications

A special issue of the ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent
Systems on the topic of this workshop is planned.

Anthony Jameson will be the invited speaker.
