Group Recommender Systems

Group recommender systems provide suggestions in contexts in which people operate in groups. The goal of this tutorial is to provide the RecSys audience with an overview on group recommendation. We will first formally introduce the problem of producing recommendations to groups, then present a survey based on the tasks performed by these systems. We will also analyze challenging topics like their evaluation, and present emerging aspects and techniques in this area. The tutorial will end with a summary that highlights open issues and research challenges.
