Recommender Systems Special Track at the International FLAIRS Conference (RecSys@FLAIRS 2017)

Recommender systems (RecSys) are being used to suggest products to customers, provide personalized product information, or even to provide products’ reviews. These systems recommend items among a huge number of possibilities according to users’ interests. Recommender Systems have also been proposed to support the information selection and decision making processes on e-commerce web sites. This is the third Recommender Systems Special Track running in conjunction with the International FLAIRS Conference. The goal of this new special track has been to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to share their efforts in addressing current issues, challenges, novel approaches, and applications within the broad scope of recommender systems.  We continue to aim to cover a wide variety of research areas where recommender systems may be researched and applied.
