User Modeling, Personalisation and Experience

We invite research contributions for the 26th World Wide Web Conference User Modeling, Personalisation and Experience Track.

A large swath of user interaction with various products happen through devices connected to the WWW. Hence, developing technology to understand and enhance the user experience with consumer products at scale has become one of the most important problems of our time. Commoditisation of computer infrastructure on the cloud have opened the door to innovate using vast amounts of data collected from these devices through techniques like machine learning, statistical modeling, natural language processing, speech recognition, and others. The sheer volume of interactions have made it possible to rapidly innovate in a data driven fashion and evaluate success based on user’s interactions and feedback.

In this track we invite original research submissions addressing all aspects of user behaviour analysis, personalisation, and experience.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

• User modeling, log analysis, and interaction models
• User Interfaces, design and evaluation
• User experience with interactive and conversational systems
• Intelligent agents and personal assistants
• Personalisation of the web experience
• Recommendation approaches and recommender systems
• Experiment design for online testing
• Survey methods to collect and analyse user feedback
• Efficient data mining algorithms for large-scale log analysis
• Metrics for user behaviour and evaluating success
• Combining user feedback from multiple sources
• Personalisation and recommendation for the social web
