Recommender Systems Conference Doctoral Consortium, 2007 (October 19-20, 2007)

该补助金提供资金，让研究生参加计算机协会（ACM）推荐系统的相对较新和创新的年度会议，这是计算机和信息科学目前发展迅速的一个领域。 推荐系统是通常与主要商业网站相关联的信息系统，其基于顾客和其他用户自己过去的选择以及具有类似偏好的其他用户的选择来向顾客和其他用户建议诸如书籍或电影的产品。 继先前成功举办的推荐系统研讨会和会议之后，研究界率先在该领域创建了一个ACM赞助的会议。将于10月19日至20日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市举行，它将以同行评审的研究计划（在ACM数字图书馆中提供印刷会议记录和出版物）和行业计划为特色，以更好地将行业实践和学术研究的经验和需求结合在一起。论文全文、海报和演示将构成会议的主体。会议的博士生联盟部分将于10月18日举行。六到八名高级研究生将展示他们的研究成果，并收到教师和同学的反馈。 这个博士联合会将有助于扩大在这一领域攻读研究生课程的年轻研究人员的参与，为他们提供机会，使他们在社区中更广泛地接触他们的创新工作，并从研究界的高级成员那里获得反馈和指导。这将进一步帮助培养这些年轻研究人员的社区意识，使他们能够在自己之间以及在其专业发展的关键阶段与高级研究人员建立社会网络。

This grant provides funding to involve graduate students in the relatively new and innovative annual meeting on recommender systems of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), an area of currently great and rapid development in computer and information science. Recommender systems are information systems, often associated with major commercial websites, that advise customers and other users about products such as books or movies, on the basis of their own past choices and the choices of other users who have similar preferences. Following up on previous successful workshops and conferences on recommender systems, the research community has taken the lead in creating an ACM sponsored conference in the field. To be held October 19-20 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it will feature a peer-reviewed research program (with both a printed proceedings and publication in the ACM Digital Library) and an industry program, to better bring together the experiences and needs of industry practice and academic research. Presentations of full papers, posters, and demonstrations will make up the main body of the conference. The Doctoral Consortium component of the conference will be held on October 18. Between six and eight advanced graduate students will present their research and receive feedback from faculty and fellow students. This doctoral consortium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in this field, by providing them an opportunity to gain wider exposure in the community for their innovative work and to obtain feedback and guidance from senior members of the research community. It will further help foster a sense of community among these young researchers, by allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development.
