Breakout sessions
In this interactive portion of the workshop, paper and position statement authors will
work together in groups centered on one of the four main topics
addressed by the workshop. This time is meant to discuss each other's work and positions
heald on the assigned topic. Each breakout group is charged with providing answers to the
questions posed by the workshop.
Results and Reactions
One member from each breakout group will report back to the entire workshop on what their
breakout group discussed and the answers the group came up with. If there is time, we will hold
a general discussion concerning these topics with a goal of answering the questions posed by the workshop
and determining how we, as researchers and practioners, can work together to improve recommender systems.
