News Recommender Experimental Research Infrastructure Survey
This is a quick survey to collect research questions from people who would use a proposed experimental news research infrastructure. The proposed infrastructure would include at least:
* a collection of users reading news through an instrumented app or web interface
* a mechanism for conducting experiments that vary the news recommender
* a mechanism for conducting experiments that vary the news interface
* support for both shorter- and longer-term field experiments
* support for pop-up experiments (including survey components)
* ways of monitoring longer-term usage of users in experimental groups
The intent is to support a wide range of research, including recommender systems, natural language processing, information retrieval, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and research at the intersection of computing with journalism, social science, and other fields.
Please fill in one research project per survey; we invite you to submit multiple surveys if that would make it easier to separate different ideas.
