---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
ACM UMAP 2020, the premier international conference for researchers
and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users
or to groups of users, and which collect, represent, and model user
information, is pleased to invite proposals for tutorials to be
given in conjunction with the conference. Tutorials are intensive
instructional sessions aimed to provide a comprehensive introduction
to established or emerging research topics of interest for the UMAP
community.<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br>
<br>
<b>Tutorial Topics</b><br>
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>
• new user modeling technologies, methods, techniques, and
trends (e.g. exploiting data mining and big data analytics for user
modeling, evaluation methodologies, data visualization, etc.)<br>
• user modeling and personalization techniques for specific
domains (e.g., health sciences, e-government, e-commerce, cultural
heritage, education, internet of things, mobile, music, information
retrieval, etc.)<br>
• application of user modeling and personalization techniques
for information retrieval and recommender systems<br>
• eliciting and learning user preferences by taking into account
users’ emotional state, physical state, personality, trust,
cognitive factors<br>
<br>
<b>Instructions for Proposers</b><br>
An ideal tutorial should be broad enough to provide a basic
introduction to the chosen area, but it should also cover the most
important topics in depth. Tutorial presenters can have one page in
the adjunct proceedings. <br>
Tutorial proposals should not exceed 5 pages and should contain the
following information:<br>
• Title and abstract of the tutorial for inclusion on the ACM
UMAP 2020 website (200 words maximum)<br>
• Tutorial description:<br>
• learning objectives of the tutorial and relevance to ACM
UMAP 2020<br>
• targeted audience (introductory, intermediate, advanced)
and prerequisite knowledge or skills<br>
• a brief outline of the tutorial structure<br>
• practical sessions<br>
• Tutorial length: full (6 hours) or half day (3 hours) <br>
• Other venues to which the tutorial or part thereof has been or
will be presented, in addition to explaining how the current
tutorial differs from the other editions <br>
• Name, email address, affiliation and brief professional
biography of the tutorial instructor(s), indicating previous
training and speaking experience <br>
<br>
<b>Submission and Review Process</b><br>
Tutorial proposals should be submitted in PDF format via Easychair
submission site:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap2020">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap2020</a><br>
<br>
All proposals will be reviewed by the tutorial chairs. The features
that will be evaluated are:<br>
• ability of the tutorial to contribute to strengthening the
foundations of UMAP research<br>
• clarity of the tutorial, which should emerge from its
description<br>
• organization, as appearing from the outline<br>
• background/experience of tutorial instructor(s) in teaching
the target topics<br>
<br>
<b>Schedule</b><br>
• Proposals due: January 20, 2020<br>
• Notification of acceptance: January 31, 2020<br>
• Camera-ready tutorial summary: May 3, 2020<br>
• Adjunct proceedings camera ready: May 15, 2020<br>
