Extended deadline 10 May 2022 – CfP: QUARE 2022 The 1st workshop on Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems, at SIGIR 2022

by Alessandro Piscopo

[apologies for double posting] QUARE 2022: The 1st workshop on Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems, co-located with SIGIR 2022 (https://sigir.org/sigir2022/), July 11-15, 2022, in Madrid, Spain and Online Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2022/home Location: Hybrid - Madrid, Spain and Online IMPORTANT DATES: ----------------------------- Extended paper submission deadline: 10 May 2022 Author notification: 17 May 2022 Final version deadline: 15 June 2022 Workshop date: 15 July 2022 WORKSHOP ORGANISERS: ---------------------------------------- - Alessandro Piscopo (BBC, UK) <alessandro.piscopo(a)bbc.co.uk<mailto:alessandro.piscopo@bbc.co.uk>> - Oana Inel (University of Zurich, CH) <inel(a)ifi.uzh.ch<mailto:inel@ifi.uzh.ch>> - Sanne Vrijenhoek (University of Amsterdam, NL) <s.vrijenhoek(a)uva.nl<mailto:s.vrijenhoek@uva.nl>> - Martijn Millecamp (AE NV, BE) <martijn.millecamp(a)hotmail.com<mailto:martijn.millecamp@hotmail.com>> - Krisztian Balog (Google Research) <krisztianb(a)google.com<mailto:krisztianb@google.com>> CALL FOR PAPERS: ---------------------------- Recommendations are ubiquitous in many contexts and domains due to a continuously growing adoption of decision-support systems. Explanations may be provided along with recommendations with the reasoning behind suggesting a particular item. However, explanations may also significantly affect a user's decision-making process by serving a number of different goals, such as transparency, persuasiveness, scrutability, among others. While there is a growing body of research studying the effect of explanations, the relationship between their quality and their effect has not been investigated in depth yet. For instance, at an institutional level, organisational values may require a different combination of explanation goals; also, within the same organisation some combinations of goals may be more appropriate for some use cases and less for others. Conversely, end-users of a recommender system may be bearers of different values, and explanations can affect them differently. Therefore, understanding whether explanations are fit for their intended goals is key to subsequently implementing them in a production stage. Furthermore, the lack of established, actionable methodologies to evaluate explanations for recommendations, as well as evaluation datasets, hinders cross-comparison between different explainable recommendations approaches, and is one of the issues hampering widespread adoption of explanations in industry settings. This workshop aims to extend existing work in the field by bringing together and facilitating the exchange of perspectives and solutions from industry and academia, and aims to bridge the gap between academic design guidelines and the best practices in the industry regarding the implementation and evaluation of explanations in recommender systems, with respect to their goals, impact, potential biases, and informativeness. With this workshop, we provide a platform for discussion among scholars, practitioners, and other interested parties. TOPICS AND THEMES: -------------------------------- The motivation of the workshop is to promote discussion upon future research and practice directions of evaluating explainable recommendations, by bringing together academic and industry researchers and practitioners in the area. We focus in particular on real-world use cases, diverse organisational values and purposes, and different target users. We encourage submissions that study different explanation goals and combinations of those, how they fit various organisation values and different use cases. Furthermore, we welcome submissions that propose and make available for the community high-quality datasets and benchmarks. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Evaluation * Relevance of explanation goals for different use cases; * Soliciting user feedback on explanations; * Implicit vs. explicit evaluation of explanations and goals; * Reproducible and replicable evaluation methodologies; * Online vs. offline evaluations. * Personalisation * User-modelling for explanation generation; * Evaluation approaches for personalised explanations (e.g., content, style); * Evaluation approaches for context-aware explanations (e.g., place, time, alone/group setting, exploratory/transaction mode). * Presentation * Evaluation of different explanation modalities (e.g., text, graphics, audio, hybrid); * Evaluation of interactive explanations. * Datasets * Generation of datasets for evaluation of explanations; * Evaluation benchmarks. * Values * Evaluation of explanations in relation to organisational values; * Evaluation of explanations in relation to personal values. SUBMISSIONS: ---------------------- We welcome three types of submissions: * position or perspective papers (up to 4 pages in length, plus unlimited pages for references): original ideas, perspectives, research vision, and open challenges in the area of evaluation approaches for explainable recommender systems; * featured papers (title and abstract of the paper, plus the original paper): already published papers or papers summarizing existing publications in leading conferences and high-impact journals that are relevant for the topic of the workshop * demonstration papers (up to 2 pages in length, plus unlimited pages for references): original or already published prototypes and operational evaluation approaches in the area of explainable recommender systems. Page limits include diagrams and appendices. Submissions should be single-blind, written in English, and formatted according to the current ACM two-column conference format. Suitable LaTeX, Word, and Overleaf<https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/acm-official> templates are available from the ACM Website<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template> (use “sigconf” proceedings template for LaTeX and the Interim Template for Word). Submit papers electronically via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=quare22. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee and accepted papers will be published on the website of our workshop: https://sites.google.com/view/quare-2022/home. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the workshop (attendance may be either remote or in-person) and present the work. ________________________________ Dr Alessandro Piscopo Principal Data Scientist [Shape Description automatically generated] [signature_1413759244]

CFP [extended deadline]: Workshop on Reflections and Dialogues around Smart Technology (ResiSTo), co-located with MIS4TEL, L'Aquila, Italy | 13th-15th July, 2022

by Syed Mehdi Abbas Rizvi

(Apologies for multiple postings) ================================================ CALL FOR WORKSHOP PAPERS Workshop on Reflections and Dialogues around Smart Technology (ResiSTo) --- Proceedings in Springer Verlag; indexing in Scopus; fast review process --- Co-located with 12th International Conference on Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning (MIS4TEL), L'Aquila, Italy | 13th-15th July, 2022 ================================================ IMPORTANT DATES ================================================ Workshop papers submission deadline: 8th May, 2022 (extended) Workshop camera-ready papers: 17th June, 2022 Accepted workshop papers will be included in the MIS4TEL Proceedings published in the LNNS series of Springer Verlag (https://www.springer.com/series/15179), and will be Scopus indexed. ================================================ THEME ================================================ Smart technologies include, but are not limited to, AI-based devices for digital education, smart things, smart art-work, smart environments, smart cities and smart artefacts, in general. The workshop focuses on the role which reflections, as in design thinking, and dialogues, as in ethnographic research, play in imagining, conceptualising, using, assessing smart technologies for different contexts and people, with a preference for learning contexts and learners. Workshop papers are expected to describe frameworks, methods, toolkits, experiences, studies or provocations with reflections and dialogues around smart technologies. Examples are toolkits which enable young generations to design smart things and reflect across their design (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2212868921000660). Other examples are studies concerning design as a means for reflecting on stereotypes (http://www.research.lancs.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/-(448ba68b-ca74-4b06…). The workshop is intended as a forum to share provocations concerning past research work, novel ideas grounded in the literature, work-in-progress prototypes, as well as preliminary results which intercept the theme of the workshop. In other words, workshop papers are expected to report on early or ongoing research activities, which have not yet got the maturity expected for the main-conference submissions. ================================================ TOPICS ================================================ Suggested topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: -Reflections in the creation, usage or evaluation of smart technologies -Responsibility or other critical reflections in technology enhanced learning -The role of dialogue in digital education -Field studies and ecological studies for reflecting with/around smart technologies -Playfulness, gamification and critical reflections with/around smart technologies -Responsibility in the design of smart solutions -Critical thinking in the design of smart cities, environments, things, artwork, artefacts -Dialogue and reflections in designing smart technologies at a distance -Dialogue and reflections in using smart technologies at a distance -Dialogue and reflections in assessing smart technologies at a distance -Dialogues and reflections in making or physical computing -Creativity, dialogues, reflections and smart technologies -Biases in smart technologies -Unveiling ethics concerns with/around smart technologies ================================================ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ================================================ Workshop contributions should be 10-page papers or exceptionally 6-page papers, including references; papers must be formatted according to the Springer LNNS template, available on the main-conference website of MIS4TEL. Papers should be submitted as PDF via Easychair. The Easychair submission page can be accessed at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mis4tel22. Please take care in selecting the correct track i.e., “Workshop on Reflections and Dialogues around Smart Technology (ResiSTo)” when submitting. All submissions will undergo a fast yet careful peer review process by at least two members of the program committee. Publication of an accepted paper in the proceedings requires that at least one author of the paper registers for and participates in the conference. ================================================ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ================================================ Rosella Gennari, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy Maristella Matera, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Alessandra Melonio, Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Italy Mehdi Rizvi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Elisa Rubegni, Lancaster University, United Kingdom ================================================ For more information, contact us at resisto.workshop(a)gmail.com or check out our webpage at https://www.mis4tel-conference.net/tracks/workshops/resisto
