Welcome to RS_c, the central platform for the RecSys community. We provide curated lists of recommender-systems datasets, algorithms, books, conferences and many resources more. Maybe most importantly, we publish the latest recommender-system news. If you want your news to be reported on RS_c, read here.

RS_c creates a map of RecSys researchers around the world
February 16, 2022
It’s difficult to keep an overview of who is an active researcher in the RecSys community. Therefore, we started an attempt to keep the overview: We created a Google Map with the goal to list all recommender-systems experts in the world. Admittedly, that is an ambitious goal and for now, we only start with the members of the ACM RecSys steering committee and the editorial board members of the ACM TORS journal. However, we hope to add more members soon.
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).
That´s great, thank you!
