Abstract

The goal of the PATCH workshop series is to gather researchers and practitioners from different fields, e.g., multimedia retrieval, user interaction, arts and heritage curation, interface design and user modeling, in order to showcase novel applications and discuss opportunities that grow from the connections between users and multimedia systems in the cultural heritage domain. This is the 5th time PATCH is organized. Earlier editions include:

  • PATCH-12 at UMAP 2012 - 20th conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and personalization

  • PATCH-11 at the 2011 Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces

  • PATCH-08 at the 2008 Conference on Adaptive Hypermedia

  • PATCH-07 at the 2007 Conference on User Modeling

This edition, alongside ACM Multimedia, zooms in on how personalization can support a user-centered intelligent interactive information exchange between websites or mobile guide systems and visitors. In this way the museum monologue turns into a dialogue, and personalization provides opportunities for a new communication strategy based on a continuous process of interaction, collaboration, learning and adaptation between the museum and its visitors.

Given these developments and trends, it is critical for memory institutions to know their visitors (users), and provide personalized interactive methods and systems for accessing their collections and services, both online and in physical space. Multimedia information systems (such as search engines, interactive tours and visualizations) are now positioned centrally in a shared information space consisting of (1) digitized artifacts (2) the social web (3) and links between them. Personalization in multimedia information systems can improve the experience of visitors by assisting them in finding appropriate starting points, and in discovering new relevant information.

We are happy to announce that the call for proposals was greeted with enthusiasm from the research community. The programme committee has accepted 7 papers, covering various workshop topics. Authors come from various countries, including Poland, Canada, Netherlands, South-Korea, Greece, United States and Turkey. We clustered the papers into three groups: (1) Semantically enriched digital collections; (2) Interface concepts for accessing online and on-site cultural heritage; and (3) Contextualized and context-aware navigation and browsing interfaces.
