JodieHyde:

The '''2010 Challenge on Context-aware Movie Recommendation''' ('''CAMRA 2010''') was held at the [[RecSys2010|2010 Recommender Systems Conference]] and consisted of three [[context-specific]] tracks.

Participants were expected to submit papers, experimental results, and an additional alorithmic onepager describing their solution. The quality of all three was then used to crown the winner of the challenge. The overall winner was '''Mining Mood-specific Movie Similarity with Matrix Factorization for Context-aware Recommendation''' - [[Yue Shi]], [[Martha Larson]], [[Alan Hanjalic]].

== Tracks ==
=== Track 1 - Weekly Recommendation ===
The Weekly Recommendation track focused on [[recommending movies]] for the Christmas 2009 week and the Oscars' 2010 week in two datasets, both released exclusively for the challenge. One from [http://moviepilot.com Moviepilot] and one from [http://filmtipset.se Filmtipset].

Winning submission: '''Time vs. Tags: Factorization Models for Context-/Time-Aware Movie Recommendations''' - [[Zeno Gantner]], [[Steffen Rendle]], [[Lars Schmidt-Thieme]]

=== Track 2 - Mood-based Recommendation ===
The [[mood-based recommendation]] track focused on recommending movies with a specific '''emotion''' keyword. The dataset used was an anonymized subset of the data collected by Moviepilot.

Winning submission: '''Mining Mood-specific Movie Similarity with Matrix Factorization for Context-aware Recommendation''' - [[Yue Shi]], [[Martha Larson]], [[Alan Hanjalic]]

=== Track 3 - Social Recommendation ===
The [[social recommendation]] track focused on recommending movies based on users' social connections, the dataset was an anonymized subset of the data collected by Filmtipset.

Winning submission: '''Adapting Neighborhood and Matrix Factorization Models for Context Aware Recommendations''' - [[Nathan N. In order to find some time for myself I decided to search for service that could supply me with the prime quality [http://www.qualityessay.com/custom-essays.html custom essays] at prices that would be reasonable enough. The final choice was QualityEssay.Com as they did have an excellent reputation. Liu]]

=== Live Evaluation ===
A final evaluation was conducted in which the participants were asked to perform recommendations for a selected number of users for the context '''end of september''' (the week of the [[RecSys2011]] week). The first few movies in each recommended list were sent to users of [[Moviepilot]]'s service who had signed up for this. Each of these users were asked to answer the following questions<ref>[http://www.dai-labor.de/camra2010/live-evaluation-survey-questions/ Live evaluation survey questions]</ref>:
* Was it a good recommendation?
* Was it a surprising recommendation?
* Did the movie match your expectations?
* Do you think you would have watched the movie eventually, even if we hadn’t recommended it to you?

The winners of the live evaluation track was '''Time vs. Tags: Factorization Models for Context-/Time-Aware Movie Recommendations''' - [[Zeno Gantner]], [[Steffen Rendle]], [[Lars Schmidt-Thieme]].
