SubmissionWe encourage the submission of contributions investigating novel methodologies to exploit heterogeneous personal data and approaches to build transparent and scrutable user models. In particular, we accept three kinds of submissions:
● (A) Regular papers (8 pages at most plus additional pages for references; figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit) should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. They should reflect more complex innovations or studies and should have a more thorough discussion of related work. Each accepted long paper will be included in the main conference proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the main conference program.
● (B) Short papers (4 pages at most plus additional pages for references; figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit) typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper – they are not “work-in-progress” reports but rather complete reports on a smaller or simpler-to-describe but complete research work on advances that can be described, set into context, and evaluated concisely.
● (C) Ongoing projects, Demo, Position and Perspective Papers (2 pages at most plus additional pages for references; figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit) discuss exciting new work that is "work-in-progress". They should reflect discussion, reflection, and perspectives on the workshop topics.
Submission site: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=umap2025 During the submission process select “ExUM - 7th Workshop on Explainable User Models and Personalised Systems”.
All submitted papers will be evaluated by at least two members of the program committee, based on originality, significance, relevance, and technical quality. Note that the references do not count toward page limits. Submissions should be single-blinded, i.e. authors’ names should be included in the submissions. Papers must be formatted according to the new workflow for ACM publications. All accepted papers will be published by ACM as a joint volume of Extended UMAP 2025 Proceedings and will be available via the ACM Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the particular workshop and present the paper there.
