Authors can submit their papers through Easy Chair at the link: easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap22 using the GMAP track
See important dates for deadlines.
We seek contributions in topics including, but not limited to:
• Group formation problem:
Adaptive team formation systems. How to design systems and algorithms that adapt their team formation decisions to the involved users’ suggestions?
Personalization and tailored group task and teammate recommendations. How to ascertain that workers can efficiently explore the very large space of potential collaborators, and form the work alliances that are optimal for themselves but also for each (creative) task?
Explanations. How to assist online crowd workers to interpret the team formation algorithm’s decisions? How to assist them comprehend the impact that their own input to the algorithm has, in the context of several decision interconnections?
Ethics-centred user modeling. How to develop modeling approaches that afford users personal liberty and flexibility (e.g. in selecting their teammates), while maintaining appropriate collaboration and work conduct standards (e.g. in avoiding workplace discrimination)?
Recommendations for groups problem:
Group modelling. Going beyond standard aggregation strategies, by incorporating adaptable user and group profiles as the group advances towards their choice.
Group decision-making process support. How can we best help groups to reach their joint decisions, when discussion or several rounds of suggestions are supported by the system?
Explanations. How can we design effective explanations for such suggestions to groups but keeping in mind that sensitive personal data of group members is not revealed (privacy protection)?
Evaluation. What are the benefits and drawbacks of different evaluation approaches, i.e., user studies vs. offline evaluations with synthetic data? How to appropriately design evaluation studies? What evaluation metrics should such systems use, standard accuracy-based metrics, or something else?
Accepted papers will be published in the UMAP Adjunct Proceedings.
Short workshop papers can be maximum 7 pages (excluding references); long papers 8-14 pages (excluding references). Submissions should be single blinded (i.e. authors names should be included in it). Furthermore, the submissions should be formatted using the same ACM template (single-column format) as that of the main UMAP 2022 conference (see https://www.um.org/umap2022/call-for-papers/, Section "Length and formatting").
