Brief Bio
Sophia Ananiadou received her PhD in Natural Language Processing (NLP) from the University of Manchester. Currently, she is Professor of Computer Science in the School of Computer Science, University of Manchester and director of the National Centre for Text Mining (www.nactem.ac.uk), hosted at the School of Computer Science and Manchester Institute of Biotechnology. Her research interests include using advanced NLP techniques for biomedical text mining, such as event extraction, developing large-scale resources (terminological resources and annotated data), text mining services and interoperable text mining platforms. Her current projects include UKPubMedCentral, text mining for the reconstruction of pathways, and extraction of semantic metadata for the automated measurement of open source software. She was the recipient three times (2006-2008) of the IBM UIMA innovation award for her work in interoperable platforms for text mining and was also awarded the Daiwa Adrian prize (2004). She has authored over 200 publications.

SCOPE
Recommender Systems are software tools, platforms, engines or techniques providing users with suggestions for items that they may find interesting or useful. Recommender systems may be seen as a kind of information filtering systems that predict the preference that a user would give to an item. The prediction may be based either on collaborative filtering or content-based filtering, depending on using user's past behavior or a series of item features, i.e. discrete characteristics of items. Hybrid Recommender Systems combine both. There are more and more applications of recommender systems in e-commerce.
This special session seeks to attract both academic researchers and practitioners who are concerned with the study and application of any type of recommender systems. Papers addressing ideas and/or research projects describing new algorithms, new methods or new applications are particularly welcome.
