SIR: Workshop on Social Interaction-based Recommendation (CIKM 2018)

Workshop at the 27th International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM 2018), October 22, 2018.

The data collected in social media platforms has become an important source of information, usually exploited by social recommender systems to generate suggestions inside the platform. However, social interactions take many forms that go beyond what happens inside social media platforms, both online (e.g., chats) and offline (group activities), and include indirect forms of interactions, such as editing and reading collaborative resources.

The aim of this workshop was to collect ideas on social interaction-based recommender systems, extending the classic notion of social recommendation by using social interaction data to both produce suggestions inside the social media domain and to improve existing recommendation technologies in other contexts (e.g., online news, online shopping, healthcare).
