Microsoft announced to discontinue its Microsoft Academic Services (MAS), including its Academic Search Engine (like Google Scholar) and Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG). This is a sad day for the recommender system community, particularly the community around recommender systems for digital libraries. Microsoft Academic was a very valuable source for data to build recommender systems, and certainly will be missed!
I am the founder of Recommender-Systems.com and head of the Intelligent Systems Group (ISG) at the University of Siegen, Germany https://isg.beel.org. We conduct research in recommender-systems (RecSys), personalization and information retrieval (IR) as well as on automated machine learning (AutoML), meta-learning and algorithm selection. Domains we are particularly interested in include smart places, eHealth, manufacturing (industry 4.0), mobility, visual computing, and digital libraries.
We founded or maintain, among others, LensKit-Auto, Darwin & Goliath, Mr. DLib, and Docear, each with thousand of users; we contributed to TensorFlow, JabRef and others; and we developed the first prototypes of automated recommender systems (AutoSurprise and Auto-CaseRec) and Federated Meta Learning (FMLearn Server and Client).
