Online Recommendation Challenge [NewsREEL@CLEF2015]

CLEF NewsREEL 2015

Have you ever wondered how well your recommender would perform on actual users? Now you have the chance to find out. Join our living lab dedicated to news recommendation. We hook you up with real users whose reactions will tell whether your recommender performs well or does not.

You can register via http://clef2015-labs-registration.dei.unipd.it
