The second Workshop on Large-Scale Recommender Systems will be held at KDD 2008 in Las Vegas. The topics of interest include:

• Novel recommendation models, emphasizing accuracy, performance and asymptotic behavior
• Scalability problems in recommender systems
• Novel evaluation methodologies for recommendation quality
• Efficient integration of multiple complementary predictors
• Studies of content-filtering vs. collaborative filtering and their integration in large-scale environments
• Explaining and presenting recommendations to end-users
• Idiosyncrasies of the Netflix Prize dataset and lessons learned from its analysis
• The Netflix Prize competition at large

I have written about the Netflix Prize competition before on this blog.
