abstract = {Quality journalism has become more important than ever due to the need for quality and trustworthy media outlets that can provide accurate information to the public and help to address and counterbalance the wide and rapid spread of disinformation. At the same time, quality journalism is under pressure due to loss of revenue and competition from alternative information providers. This vision paper discusses how recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), and in Machine Learning (ML) in particular, can be harnessed to support efficient production of high-quality journalism. From a news consumer perspective, the key parameter here concerns the degree of trust that is engendered by quality news production. For this reason, the paper will discuss how AI techniques can be applied to all aspects of news, at all stages of its production cycle, to increase trust.},

Here we examine 600 dinner recipes from Norway, the UK and the USA retrieved from cookbooks and the Internet. Recipe healthiness was assessed by adherence to dietary guidelines and aggregate health indicators based on front-of-pack nutrient labels, while environmental impact was assessed through greenhouse gas emissions and land use. Our results reveal that recipe healthiness strongly depends on the healthiness indicator used, with more than 70% of the recipes being classified as healthy for at least one front-of-pack label, but less than 1% comply with all dietary guidelines. All healthiness indicators correlated positively with each other and negatively with environmental impact. Recipes from the USA, found to use more red meat, have a higher environmental impact than those from Norway and the UK.},

abstract = {Over the past few years, social media has become an indispensable part of the news generation and dissemination cycle on the global stage. These digital channels along with the easy-to-use editing tools have unfortunately created a medium for spreading mis-/disinformation containing visual content. Media practitioners and fact-checkers continue to struggle with scrutinising and debunking visual user-generated content (UGC) quickly and thoroughly as verification of visual content requires a high level of expertise and could be exceedingly complex amid the existing computational tools employed in newsrooms. The aim of this study is to present a forward-looking perspective on how visual UGC verification in journalism can be transformed by multimedia forensics research. We elaborate on a comprehensive overview of the five elements of the UGC verification and propose multimedia forensics as the sixth element. In addition, different types of visual content forgeries and detection approaches proposed by the computer science research community are explained. Finally, a mapping of the available verification tools media practitioners rely on is created along with their limitations and future research directions to gain the confidence of media professionals in using multimedia forensics tools in their day-to-day routine.},

abstract = {The widespread use of temporal aspects in user modeling indicates their importance, and their consideration showed to be highly effective in var- ious domains related to user modeling, especially in recommender systems. Still, past and ongoing research, spread over several decades, provided multi- ple ad-hoc solutions, but no common understanding of the issue. There is no standardization and there is often little commonality in considering tempo- ral aspects in different applications. This may ultimately lead to the problem that application developers define ad-hoc solutions for their problems at hand, sometimes missing or neglecting aspects that proved to be effective in similar cases. Therefore, a comprehensive survey of the consideration of temporal as- pects in recommender systems is required. In this work, we provide an overview of various time-related aspects, categorize existing research, present a tempo- ral abstraction and point to gaps that require future research. We anticipate this survey will become a reference point for researchers and practitioners alike when considering the potential application of temporal aspects in their personalized applications.},

abstract = {A challenge for many young adults is to find the right institution to follow higher education. Global university rankings are a commonly used, but inefficient tool, for they do not consider a person's preferences and needs. For example, some persons pursue prestige in their higher education, while others prefer proximity. This paper develops and evaluates a university recommender system, eliciting user preferences as ratings to build predictive models and to generate personalized university ranking lists. In Study 1, we performed offline evaluation on a rating dataset to determine which recommender approaches had the highest predictive value. In Study 2, we selected three algorithms to produce different university recommendation lists in our online tool, asking our users to compare and evaluate them in terms of different metrics (Accuracy, Diversity, Perceived Personalization, Satisfaction, and Novelty). We show that a SVD algorithm scores high on accuracy and perceived personalization, while a KNN algorithm scores better on novelty. We also report findings on preferred university features.},

abstract = {Recipe websites are becoming increasingly popular to support people in their home cooking. However, most of these websites prioritize popular recipes, which tend to be unhealthy. Drawing upon research on visual biases and nudges, this paper investigates whether healthy food choices can be supported in food search by depicting attractive images alongside recipes, as well as by re-ranking search results on health. After modelling the visual attractiveness of recipe images, we asked 239 users to search for specific online recipes and to select those they liked the most. Our analyses revealed that users tended to choose a healthier recipe if a visually attractive image was depicted alongside it, as well as if it was listed at the top of a list of search results. Even though less popular recipes were promoted this way, it did not come at the cost of a user’s level of satisfaction},

abstract = {Similar item recommendations—a common feature of many Web sites—point users to other interesting objects given a currently inspected item. A common way of computing such recommendations is to use a similarity function, which expresses how much alike two given objects are. Such similarity functions are usually designed based on the specifics of the given application domain. In this work, we explore how such functions can be learned from human judgments of similarities between objects, using two domains of “quality and taste”—cooking recipe and movie recommendation—as guiding scenarios. In our approach, we first collect a few thousand pairwise similarity assessments with the help of crowdworkers. Using these data, we then train different machine learning models that can be used as similarity functions to compare objects. Offline analyses reveal for both application domains that models that combine different types of item characteristics are the best predictors for human-perceived similarity. To further validate the usefulness of the learned models, we conducted additional user studies. In these studies, we exposed participants to similar item recommendations using a set of models that were trained with different feature subsets. The results showed that the combined models that exhibited the best offline prediction performance led to the highest user-perceived similarity, but also to recommendations that were considered useful by the participants, thus confirming the feasibility of our approach.},

abstract = {Information-seeking tasks with learning or investigative purposes are usually referred to as exploratory

search. Exploratory search unfolds as a dynamic process where the user, amidst navigation, trial-and-error

and on-the-!y selections, gathers and organizes information (resources). A range of innovative interfaces

with increased user control have been developed to support exploratory search process. In this work we

present our attempt to increase the power of exploratory search interfaces by using ideas of social search,

i.e., leveraging information left by past users of information systems. Social search technologies are highly

popular nowadays, especially for improving ranking. However, current approaches to social ranking do not

allow users to decide to what extent social information should be taken into account for result ranking. This

paper presents an interface that integrates social search functionality into an exploratory search system in

a user-controlled way that is consistent with the nature of exploratory search. The interface incorporates

control features that allow the user to (i) express information needs by selecting keywords and (ii) to express

preferences for incorporating social wisdom based on tag matching and user similarity. The interface promotes

search transparency through color-coded stacked bars and rich tooltips. This work presents the full series

of evaluations conducted to, "rst, assess the value of the social models in contexts independent to the user

interface, in terms of objective and perceived accuracy. Then, in a study with the full-!edged system, we

investigated system accuracy and subjective aspects with a structural model that revealed that, when users

actively interacted with all its control features, the hybrid system outperformed a baseline content-based-only

tool and users were more satis"ed.},

abstract = {Visualizations have a distinctive advantage when dealing with the information overload problem: since they

are grounded in basic visual cognition, many people understand them. However, creating the appropriate

representation requires specific expertise of the domain and underlying data. Our quest in this paper is to

study methods to suggest appropriate visualizations autonomously. To be appropriate, a visualization has

to follow studied guidelines to find and distinguish patterns visually, and encode data therein. Thus, a 

visualization tells a story of the underlying data; yet, to be appropriate, it has to clearly represent those aspects

of the data the viewer is interested in. Which aspects of a visualization are important to the viewer? Can

we capture and use those aspects to recommend visualizations? This paper investigates strategies to

 recommend visualizations considering different aspects of user preferences. A multi-dimensional scale is used to

estimate aspects of quality for charts for collaborative filtering. Alternatively, tag vectors describing charts

are used to recommend potentially interesting charts based on content. Finally, a hybrid approach combines

information on what a chart is about (tags) and how good it is (ratings). We present the design principles

behind VizRec, our visual recommender. We describe its architecture, the data acquisition approach with a

crowd sourced study, and the analysis of strategies for visualization recommendation.},
