The #recsys2026 talk I've been looking for to the most: the ethics of engineering recommendations that reshape reality by @mmitchell.bsky.social #recsys #ethicalai

After a bit of an unplanned intermission, we're back with our starting keynote speaker @ranjithaskumar.bsky.social with a talk on Zero to One-Shot Personalization with LLMs. #umap2026 @umapconf.bsky.social

It's about six months until #RecSys2026, which means the @recsys.bsky.social Steering Committee just held its mid-year meeting.

I see @acm.org has added an additional page at the beginning of all papers in the ACM Digital Library. Assuming this is part of the move to #ACMOpen. I wonder if any estimates of how many additional printed pages that will be wasted as an effect of this have been made? Doesn't seem very sustainable.

And @drchole.bsky.social's presentation of our (with md.ekstrandom.net) call for a revised research agenda for #recsys

#beyond2025 at @recsys.bsky.social is wrapping up. We've had a great program on the interdisciplinary roots of #RecSys.

Very happy for this paper, and Bruno's great presentation of it at #recsys2025. This is the result of the work that Rodrygo Santos started during a research visit at the University of Gothenburg last year. @recsys.bsky.social dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Recommending in the age of AI @xamat.bsky.social giving his keynote at #recsys2025 @recsys.bsky.social ("A very personal review of #RecSys")

Could not be happier for this positive notification for our opinion piece calling for a revised #recsys research agenda, continuing @xamat.bsky.social' discussion from 15 years ago. With fantastic co-authors @drchole.bsky.social & @md.ekstrandom.net. #BEYOND2025 #recsys2025 @recsys.bsky.social

#wasphs keynote by @coeckelbergh.bsky.social on #AI and democracy. Interesting points. I wonder if perhaps we need to define what we mean when we talk about #artificialintelligence.

Still trying to figure out how to scratch your #recsys itch after this year's @recsys.bsky.social? Have a look at the #ACMTORS Call for papers for the Special Issue on #RecommenderSystems for Good. Will you be be submitting a paper as an xmas gift to the RecSys community? dl.acm.org/pb-assets/st...

All set for the #NordicPersonalizationWorkshop next week. Looking forward to catching up with #recsys folks from the Nordics and elsewhere personalizationday.github.io/2024/program/
