DBWRS is the first Dutch-Belgian Workshop on Recommender Systems. In today's digital age, where information overload and an abundance of choices are the norm, recommender systems play a vital role in helping users navigate through vast amounts of data. These systems have become ubiquitous across various domains, including e-commerce, social media, entertainment, and many more, shaping the way we discover new products, engage with content, and connect with others.
DBWRS will bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields to explore and discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in this dynamic field. By fostering collaboration and exchange of ideas among experts in computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, psychology, communication, policy, law and beyond, this workshop aims to unlock new frontiers and push the boundaries of recommender systems.
We invite you to join us in this exciting journey as we explore the interdisciplinary nature of recommender systems and work together to uncover innovative approaches that enhance user experiences, foster personalized decision-making, and contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of digital recommendations.
Program
DBWRS is a two-day event filled with inspiring talks and numerous networking opportunities. Attendees are warmly invited to submit their own work to bring to the stage. There will be opportunities to discuss published work as well as work in progress.
Day one
The first day consists of a series of plenary talks by academic researchers and industry practitioners. Throughout the day, there will be poster sessions and many network opportunities. This will be followed by a reception and conference dinner. And maybe a karaoke?
Day two
On the second day, thematic breakout sessions will be organized to delve deeper into current issues in recommender systems research. These sessions are a great opportunity for early career researchers to receive feedback on their ideas and discuss potential collaborations.
