UMAP'17 Workshops & Tutorials Chairs' Introduction

Abstract

We are happy to present the 8 workshops and 2 tutorials selected for the 25th ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization (UMAP 2017) from the proposals we received in response to the corresponding calls for workshops and tutorials. The workshops provide a venue to discuss and explore emerging areas of User Modelling and Adaptive Hypermedia research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners from Industry and Academia. The discussions are focused on systems that adapt to individual users, to groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. The workshops held in conjunction with UMAP 2017 cover a wide range of topics.
