International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization
open-in-new
<p>The International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization (UMAP) is the oldest international conference for researchers and practitioners working on various kinds of user-adaptive computer systems such as <a href="/facts/Adaptive_hypermedia/VUB3vmpg">Adaptive hypermedia</a> systems, <a href="/facts/Recommender_system/HjodW6nS">Recommender systems</a>, <a href="/facts/Adaptive_website/kVJq0ppx">Adaptive websites</a>, <a href="/facts/Adaptive_learning/xaxfjYR7">Adaptive learning</a>, <a href="/facts/Personalized_learning/UNNw0Ye9">Personalized learning</a> and <a href="/facts/Intelligent_tutoring_system/DsaIre48">Intelligent tutoring systems</a> and <a href="/facts/Personalized_search/hBSaEyL3">Personalized search</a> systems. All of these systems adapt to their individual users, or to groups of users (i.e., <a href="/facts/Personalization/JeLDsvhj">Personalization</a>). To achieve this goal, they collect and represent information about users or groups (i.e., <a href="/facts/User_modeling/uVXnQ9S6">User modeling</a>). </p><p>The UMAP conferences have historically been organized under the auspices of User Modeling Inc., a professional organization of User Modeling researchers. Until 2015, the conference proceedings were published by <a href="/facts/Springer_Science%252BBusiness_Media/nAesf6nT">Springer</a>. In 2016, the UMAP conference series became affiliated with the <a href="/facts/Association_for_Computing_Machinery/abI2atlP">Association for Computing Machinery</a> (ACM), where it is supported by <a href="/facts/ACM_SIGWEB/DjAptbE9">ACM SIGWEB</a> and <a href="/facts/ACM_SIGCHI/Hvc5YVWp">ACM SIGCHI</a>. </p>
