CrowdRec 2013 - Workshop on Crowdsourcing and Human Computation for Recommender Systems

We are pleased to announce the first workshop on crowdsourcing and human computation for recommender systems. The recommender systems we refer to as a broad spectrum of applications involving recommendation, information valuation, filtering, summarization, etc. in various contexts from e-commerce to social networking and mobile applications. This workshop aims to provide a scholarly venue for researchers and practitioners to exchange the advances of crowdsourcing and human computation technologies and applications, with an emphasis on the applications in recommendation systems. The potentials and advantages of crowdsourcing and human computation have been explored for a number of areas such as computer-human interaction and information retrieval, we believe that these advances can also benefit the research of recommender systems at large.
