Talk: Social Information Access: The Other Side of the Social Web

Abstract: Modern Web, which is frequently called Social Web or Web 2.0, celebrates the power of the user community. Most frequently it is associated with the power of users as contributors or various kinds of contents through Wikis, blogs, and resource sharing sites. However, the power of the user community impacts not only the production of Web content, but also access to all kinds of Web content. A number or research groups worldwide work on social information access techniques, which helps users get to the right information using "community wisdom" extracted from tracked actions of those who worked with this information earlier. The talk provides a brief introduction into this research stream and present recent work of our group on several social information access techniques.

Speaker Bio: Peter Brusilovsky is a Professor of Information Science and Intelligent Systems at the University of Pittsburgh, where he directs Personalized Adaptive Web Systems (PAWS) lab. Peter has been working in the field of adaptive educational systems, user modeling, and intelligent user interfaces for over 20 years. He published numerous papers and edited several books on adaptive hypermedia and the adaptive Web. He was holding visiting faculty appointments at the Moscow State University (Russia), Sussex University (UK), Tokyo Denki University (Japan), University of Trier (Germany), Free University of Bolzano (Italy), National College of Ireland, and Carnegie Mellon University. Peter is the Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies and a board member of several journals including User Modeling and User Adapted Interaction, ACM Transactions on the Web, and Web Intelligence and Agent Systems. He is also the current President of User Modeling Inc., a professional association of user modeling researchers.

Talk: An open and scalable framework for social-semantic personalization and recommendation

Abstract: This talk will present work-in-progress on an open and light-weight framework called the Social Semantic Server that is currently evolving in the context of an FP7 EU Project called Learning Layers. The basic idea of the framework is to provide learning technologies application developer partners with a scalable tool that provides a range of services that makes sense out of social semantic structures that are emerging in the learning context. To that end, the presentation will in general give an overview of the Layers project, the role of the Social Semantic server within the project and in particular will focus on social personalization services that have been developed in the first year of Layers.

Bio: Dr. Christoph Trattner is the head of the Knowledge Evolution Research Group and a deputy division manager of the Knowledge Service Area at Know-Center, an Austrian competence center for knowledge technologies. He has a PhD (with hons), a MSc (with hons) and BSc in Computer Science and Telematics from Graz University of Technology (Austria). His research interests include social computing, social systems, social media, social networks, social search & navigation, human computer interaction, data mining, user pro?ling, adaptation, personalization, recommender systems and machine learning. He was involved, either as a collaborator or a project leader, in various national and international EU-funded research projects that dealt with social semantic technologies. Currently, he is the work package leader for the development of the social semantic server for the LEARNING LAYERS project funded by the EU. During the last three years, he published a signi?cant number of scienti?c articles in top venues, e.g., the ACM World Wide Web Conference (WWW), the IEEE Conference on Social Computing (SocialCom), the ACM WebScience (WebSci), the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM), the ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) and the ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media (HT). He is the winner of several Best Paper/Poster Awards and Nominations. He regularly acts as a PC member of several top-tier conferences and is involved as a co-organizer of international workshops and conferences.
