Workshop on Recommendation in Multistakeholder Environments (RMSE)

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the most essential aspects of any recommender system is personalization
-- how well the recommendations delivered suit the user's interests. However,
in many real world applications, there are other stakeholders whose needs and
interests should be taken into account. In multisided e-commerce platforms,
such as auction sites, there are parties on both sides of the recommendation
interaction whose perspectives should be considered. There are also contexts
in which the recommender system itself also has certain objectives that should
be incorporated into the recommendation generation. Long-tail promotion,
fairness-aware recommendation, and profit maximization are all examples of
objectives that may be important in different applications. In such
multistakeholder environments, the recommender system will need to balance the
(possibly conflicting) interests of different parties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This workshop will encourage submissions that address the challenges of
producing recommendations in multistakeholder settings, including but not
limited to the following topics:
* The requirements of different multistakeholder applications such as
* fairness-aware recommendation,
* recommendation in multisided platforms,
* value-aware recommendation in commercial settings,
* reciprocal recommendation.
* Algorithms for multistakeholder recommendation including multi-objective
optimization, re-ranking and others.
* Evaluation of multistakeholder recommendation systems.
* User experience considerations in multistakeholder recommendation including
transparency.
* Interfaces for supporting multiple recommendation stakeholders.
* Ethical considerations in the development and deployment of multistakeholder
recommender systems.
