Abstract

A recommender system aims at suggesting to users items that might interest them and that they have not considered yet. A class of systems, known as group recommendation, provides suggestions in contexts in which more than one person is involved in the recommendation process. The goal of this tutorial is to provide the ECIR audience with an overview on group recommendation. We will first illustrate the recommender systems principles, then formally introduce the problem of producing recommendations to groups, and 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.
