In this week's People of ACM, we interview Sole Pera, Associate Professor, TU Delft. Her work centers on how children retrieve information and search the web. Pera was also recently appointed Co-chair of the new ACM Globalization Board. Read the full interview here: www.acm.org/articles/peo...

And @drchole.bsky.social's presentation of our (with md.ekstrandom.net) call for a revised research agenda for #recsys

10 years ago, @drchole.bsky.social & I discussed “should Michael move to Boise?”, and I did, and we started the PIReT Ship. 7 years ago, we welcomed 800 friends to #RecSys2018 in Vancouver. Super excited that this year she's program chair (w/ Marco de Gemmis) for #RecSys2025!

The preprint for our opinions piece on a reimagined research agenda for #recsys is out. Happy to have had the best co-authors, @drchole.bsky.social and @md.ekstrandom.net #recsys2025 #beyond2025

Could not be happier for this positive notification for our opinion piece calling for a revised #recsys research agenda, continuing @xamat.bsky.social' discussion from 15 years ago. With fantastic co-authors @drchole.bsky.social & @md.ekstrandom.net. #BEYOND2025 #recsys2025 @recsys.bsky.social
