WEPIR 2021
2 December 2019Third Annual Workshop on the Evaluation of Personalisation in Information Retrieval
19 March, 2021 (Online Event)
To be held in conjunction with the ACM SIGIR Conference on Human Information Interaction and Retrieval, CHIIR 2021, 14–19 MARCH, 2021
The Third Workshop on Evaluation of Personalisation in Information Retrieval (WEPIR 2021) at CHIIR 2021 will bring together researchers interested in developing methods for the evaluation of personalisation in information retrieval. WEPIR 2021 will build on the successful previous WEPIRs at CHIIR 2018 and 2019, and will have a strong emphasis on active participation by workshop attendees.
The focus of WEPIR 2021 will be on the exploration of a number of specific use cases in the evaluation of personalisation in information retrieval. Workshop participants will be assigned to a breakout group to work together on the development of a method to address one of the use cases. Each group will seek to identify specific relevant factors relating to their use case in terms of factors including user activities, data to be collected, ethical issues, and evaluation metrics. Groups will share their findings in a final plenary session.
The overall goal of the workshop being to work towards developing a general set of principles and guidelines for addressing the evaluation of specific instances of the use of personalisation in information retrieval tasks.
