📢Highlights from the 2024 RecSys Summer School in Bari, Italy! 🌍
From October 8 to 12, the 2024 RecSys Summer School took place as a pre-program of this year’s ACM RecSys Conference. Co-funded by SIGCHI via its conference development fund, the school gathered leading experts to explore the latest developments in recommender systems.
One of the standout moments was the insightful talk by Julia Neidhardt and Dr. Irina Nalis-Neuner titled “Towards Possibility: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Enhancing Recommender Systems Beyond Accuracy.” Their presentation introduced the idea of digital humanism and explored new research directions for recommender systems with a focus on integrating this important perspective. 🎤️✨
We were also proud to have strong participation from our lab, with Gwendolyn Rippberger, Joanna Zamiechowska, Thomas Kolb and Ahmadou Wagne, actively engaging in the sessions. They took part in lectures, hands-on activities, and discussions on key topics, including algorithmic and methodological approaches, as well as the exciting potential of large language model-based recommendations (LLMs).
It was an inspiring week full of learning, collaboration, and innovation! Hashtag#RecSys2024 Hashtag#recsysSchool2024 Hashtag#RecommenderSystems Hashtag#AI Hashtag#MachineLearning Hashtag#LLMs Hashtag#SIGCHI Hashtag#Bari Hashtag#Innovation Hashtag#Research Hashtag#DigitalHumanism
