T-RecS: A framework for a temporal semantic analysis of the ACM recommender systems conference

This paper presents T-RecS (Temporal analysis of Recom- mender Systems conference proceedings), a framework that supplies services to analyze the Recommender Systems Con- ference proceedings from the first edition, held in 2007, to the last one, held in 2015, under a temporal point of view. The idea behind T-RecS is to identify linguistic phenomena that reect some interesting variations for the research com- munity, such as topic drift, or how the correlation between two terms changed over time, or how similarity between two authors evolved over time. The implemented framework can be easily adapted for the analysis of different corpora and domains.
