The GroupLens Project -- A collaboration with John Riedl and Loren Terveen. This project explores the field of recommender systems. See information and papers on the GroupLens page, or try out our MovieLens recommender.
CommunityLab -- a collaboration among the GroupLens Project and social and information science researchers at CMU and Michigan. CommunityLab is studying the problem of eliciting participation from members of online communities.
MINTS -- An Internet-based HIV-prevention program based in the Program in Human Sexuality. MINTS focuses on interventions that can help reduce sexual risk-taking of high-risk individuals seeking sexual partners online.
All talks are in PDF format. If you would like a copy of a particular slide to use in your own talks or classes, please send me e-mail. Other talks can be found on the GroupLens page.
Bridging Computer Science and Behavioral Science: Research Examples (Summer 2006) -- This talk explores two projects at the intersection of computing and behavioral science. The projects involve eliciting participation in online community and online HIV-risk assessment and reduction. Versions of this talk have been given at Universities, research laboratories, and other meetings worldwide. This version was given as the keynote address at the UPA Minnesota Chapter's World Usability Day 2006 event.
Recommender Systems: User Experience and System Issues (Summer 2006) -- This talk is an update GroupLens Survey that focuses on a few more recent research results, but mostly avoids social computing issues). It has been delivered at a variety of Universities, research laboratories, and other meetings worldwide. A less computing-oriented version was also delivered at a meeting of SIGCHI Bangalore.
Tutorial: Recommender Systems: Advanced Concepts in Research and Practice (Summer 2006) -- This tutorial was given at the Adaptive Hypermedia 2006 conference in Dublin, Ireland.
Tutorial: Recommender Systems: Collaborating in Commerce and Communities (Spring 2003) -- This tutorial was given at the CHI 2003 conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Overcoming Information Overload: Interfaces for Making Abundance Easier -- This talk is a survey of several research projects. It was given at a variety of Universities in Europe, Asia, and Africa between November 2001 and March 2002.
GroupLens Research Project Overview (Winter 2002) -- This talk was given at a variety of Universities in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa between November 2001 and March 2002.
Towards Innovative and Interactive Media -- This talk was given at a variety of Universities in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa between November 2001 and March 2002.
Heavyweight Applications of Lightweight User Models -- An invited talk at the Eighth International Conference on User Modeling (UM 2001).
GroupLens Research Project Overview (Summer 2001) -- This talk was given at several Universities in Brazil in August 2001; it is a slightly revised version of the talk given at the University of Tampere, in Finland, in July 2001.
