Abstract

Evaluating adaptive and personalized information retrieval tech-niques is known to be a difficult endeavor. The rapid evolution of novel technologies in this scope raises additional challenges that further stress the need for new evaluation approaches and method-ologies. The BARS 2013 workshop seeks to provide a specific venue for work on novel, personalization-centric benchmarking approaches to evaluate adaptive retrieval and recommender systems.
