This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners around the emerging topics of recommender systems within social media in order to: (1) share research and techniques used to develop effective social media recommenders, from algorithms, through user interfaces, to evaluation (2) identify next key challenges in the area, and (3) identify new cross-topic collaboration opportunities. To take advantage of the UMAP setting, we are in particularly encouraging two research sub-topics of the area: 1) Studying new techniques for user modeling to cope with recommendations in the social media 2) Studying different forms of people recommendation, including recommending people to connect with in social network sites, people to follow in real-time web applications, strangers who might be of interest, or people who may be interested to join online communities
