@inproceedings{mueller-2012, abstract = {The connection of ubiquitous and social computing is an emerging research area which is combining two prominent areas of computer science. In this paper, we tackle this topic from different angles: We describe data mining methods for ubiquitous and social data, specifically focusing on physical and social activities, and provide exemplary analysis results. Furthermore, we give an overview on the Ubicon platform which provides a framework for the creation and hosting of ubiquitous and social applications for diverse tasks and projects. Ubicon features the collection and analysis of both physical and social activities of users for enabling inter-connected applications in ubiquitous and social contexts. We summarize three real-world systems built on top of Ubicon, and exemplarily discuss the according mining and analysis aspects.}, address = {Washington, DC, USA}, author = {Atzmueller, Martin and Becker, Martin and Doerfel, Stephan and Kibanov, Mark and Hotho, Andreas and Macek, Björn-Elmar and Mitzlaff, Folke and Mueller, Juergen and Scholz, Christoph and Stumme, Gerd}, booktitle = {IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing, CPSCom 2012, Besançon, France, 20-23 November, 2012}, interhash = {a2695fd9fe6e76b252edbd42d72b34ad}, intrahash = {90847b1d969ac1ed1f4c8d7146416619}, publisher = {IEEE}, title = {Ubicon: Observing Social and Physical Activities}, year = 2012 } @book{balbymarinho2012recommender, abstract = {Social Tagging Systems are web applications in which users upload resources (e.g., bookmarks, videos, photos, etc.) and annotate it with a list of freely chosen keywords called tags. This is a grassroots approach to organize a site and help users to find the resources they are interested in. Social tagging systems are open and inherently social; features that have been proven to encourage participation. However, with the large popularity of these systems and the increasing amount of user-contributed content, information overload rapidly becomes an issue. Recommender Systems are well known applications for increasing the level of relevant content over the “noise” that continuously grows as more and more content becomes available online. In social tagging systems, however, we face new challenges. While in classic recommender systems the mode of recommendation is basically the resource, in social tagging systems there are three possible modes of recommendation: users, resources, or tags. Therefore suitable methods that properly exploit the different dimensions of social tagging systems data are needed. In this book, we survey the most recent and state-of-the-art work about a whole new generation of recommender systems built to serve social tagging systems. The book is divided into self-contained chapters covering the background material on social tagging systems and recommender systems to the more advanced techniques like the ones based on tensor factorization and graph-based models.}, author = {Balby Marinho, L. and Hotho, A. and Jäschke, R. and Nanopoulos, A. and Rendle, S. and Schmidt-Thieme, L. and Stumme, G. and Symeonidis, P.}, doi = {10.1007/978-1-4614-1894-8}, interhash = {0bb7f0588cd690d67cc73e219a3a24fa}, intrahash = {87d6883ebd98e8810be45d7e7e4ade96}, isbn = {978-1-4614-1893-1}, month = feb, publisher = {Springer}, series = {SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering}, title = {Recommender Systems for Social Tagging Systems}, url = {http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4614-1894-8}, year = 2012 } @inproceedings{SAS:12, address = {Boston, MA, USA}, author = {Scholz, Christoph and Atzmueller, Martin and Stumme, Gerd}, booktitle = {Proc.

These systems employ recommendation algorithms to present to their users personalized lists of interesting and relevant publications. In this paper we analyze different ways to incorporate social data and metadata from collaborative tagging systems into the graph-based ranking algorithm FolkRank to utilize it for recommending scientific articles to users of the social bookmarking system BibSonomy.

Collaborative tagging systems allow users to annotate resources using freely chosen keywords, so called tags . Those tags help users in finding/retrieving resources, discovering new resources, and navigating through the system. The process of tagging resources is laborious. Therefore, most systems support their users by tag recommender components that recommend tags in a personalized way. The Discovery Challenges 2008 and 2009 of the European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECML PKDD) tackled the problem of tag recommendations in collaborative tagging systems. Researchers were invited to test their methods in a competition on datasets from the social bookmark and publication sharing system BibSonomy. Moreover, the 2009 challenge included an online task where the recommender systems were integrated into BibSonomy and provided recommendations in real time. In this chapter we review, evaluate and summarize the submissions to the two Discovery Challenges and thus lay the groundwork for continuing research in this area.}, address = {Berlin/Heidelberg}, affiliation = {Knowledge & Data Engineering Group, University of Kassel, Wilhelmshöher Allee 73, 34121 Kassel, Germany}, author = {Jäschke, Robert and Hotho, Andreas and Mitzlaff, Folke and Stumme, Gerd}, booktitle = {Recommender Systems for the Social Web}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-25694-3_3}, editor = {Pazos Arias, José J. and Fernández Vilas, Ana and Díaz Redondo, Rebeca P.}, interhash = {75b1a6f54ef54d0126d0616b5bf77563}, intrahash = {7d41d332cccc3e7ba8e7dadfb7996337}, isbn = {978-3-642-25694-3}, pages = {65--87}, publisher = {Springer}, series = {Intelligent Systems Reference Library}, title = {Challenges in Tag Recommendations for Collaborative Tagging Systems}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-25694-3_3}, volume = 32, year = 2012 }
