RecSys’12 Workshop on Human Decision Making in Recommender Systems

Interacting with a recommender system means to take different decisions such as selecting an item from a recommendation list, selecting a specific item feature value (e.g., camera’s size, zoom) as a search criteria, selecting feedback features to be critiqued in a critiquing based recommendation session, or selecting a repair proposal for inconsistent user preferences when interacting with a knowledge-based recommender. In all these situations, users face a decision task. This workshop (Decisions@RecSys) focuses on approaches for supporting effective and efficient human decision making in different types of recommendation scenarios.
