<P><STRONG>Immersive Recommendation Workshop: Deep User & Content Modeling for Personalization</STRONG></P>
<P><SPAN>The rapid evolution of deep learning technologies & the explosion of diverse user interaction traces have brought significant challenges & opportunities to recommendation & personalized systems. In this workshop, we will discuss recent trends & techniques in user modeling & present our work on </SPAN><SPAN>immersive recommendation systems</SPAN><SPAN>. These systems learn users preferences from diverse digital trace modalities (text, image & unstructured data streams) in a wide range of recommendation domains (creative art, food, news, & events). The workshop will also include a light tutorial on OpenRec, an open source framework that enables quick prototyping of complex recommender systems via modularization. </SPAN></P>
