This results in the item catalogue being not fully utilised, which is far from ideal from the business' perspective. Issues of item exposure are actually more complex than simply overexposure of popular items. In this paper we look at the exposure of individual items to different groups of consumers, the item's audience, and address the question of whether recommender systems reach each item's potential audience. Thus, we go beyond state-of-the-art analyses that have simply addressed the extent to which items are recommended, regardless of whether they are reaching their target audience. We conduct an empirical study on the MovieLens 20M dataset showing that recommender systems do not fully utilise items' audiences, and existing sales diversity optimisers do not improve their exposure.","PeriodicalId":110331,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 26th Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121422548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

D’Mello","doi":"10.1145/3209219","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3209219","url":null,"abstract":"Welcome to the 24th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization (UMAP 2016) in Halifax, Canada, July 13-16, 2016. UMAP is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to groups of users. UMAP is the successor of the biennial User Modeling (UM) and Adaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-based Systems (AH) conferences that were merged in 2009. It has traditionally been organized under the auspices of User Modeling Inc. This year (2016) UMAP became an ACM conference, sponsored by ACM SIG CHI and SIG WEB. \u0000 \u0000The conference spans a wide scope of topics related to user modeling, adaptation, and personalization. UMAP 2016 is focused on bringing together cutting-edge research from user interaction and modeling, adaptive technologies, and delivery platforms. It includes high-quality peer-reviewed papers featuring substantive new research in one of five research areas, each chaired by leaders in the field: \u0000User Modeling for Recommender Systems (chairs: Alexander Felfernig & Pasquale Lops) \u0000Adaptive & Personalized Educational Systems (chairs: Antonija Mitrovic & Kalina Yacef) \u0000Personalization in the Social Web & Crowdsourcing Era (chairs: Alessandro Bozzon & Harith Alani) \u0000Adaptive, Intelligent, & Multimodal User Interfaces (chairs: Julien Epps & Hatice Gunes) \u0000Architectures, Techniques, & Methodologies for UMAP (chairs: Stephan Weibelzahl & Mihaela Cocea) \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000This year we received 123 submissions. In keeping with UMAPs rigorous standards, each paper was carefully reviewed by members of the Program Committee (PC) while the Area Chairs (ACs) coordinated the reviews and provided recommendations to the Program Chairs. The international Program Committee (PC) consisted of 132 members who were assisted by 49 subreviewers. These were leading researchers as well as highly promising young researchers. \u0000 \u0000Papers were assigned to at least 4 members of the PC and to 1 AC member based on their expertise, interests, and other factors. Each paper received at least 3 reviews, and 95% received 4 reviews. After the initial reviews were submitted, the designated AC facilitated discussion amongst reviewers in order to resolve differences and correct misunderstandings. The AC then provided a summative meta-review and a recommendation to the Program Chairs. The final decisions were based on these recommendations, the meta-reviews, and reviewer scores. \u0000 \u0000We accepted 21 long papers (23.9% acceptance rate) and 13 short papers (27.6% acceptance rate) for oral presentation and an additional 17 extended abstracts for poster presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. The program also features posters, demos, and late breaking results, which collectively showcase the wide spectrum of novel ideas and latest results in user modeling, adaptation and personalization. \u0000 \u0000We also invited three distinguished keynote speakers, each illustrating significant issues and prospec","PeriodicalId":110331,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 26th Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131934705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
