About

Elisabeth Lex

Short CV: Assoc.-Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Lex is a tenured associate professor at Graz University of Technology (TUG) and PI of the Recommender Systems and Social Computing Lab at TUG. She is dean of study for the master's program Computational Social Systems. She has a habilitation (venia docendi) in Applied Computer Science, and her postdoctoral thesis is on "Modeling and Predicting User Behavior in Web-based Systems". Elisabeth is co-PI of the trans-university research project "Polarization in Public Opinion, " funded by the rectorates of University of Graz and TU Graz. Her areas of expertise include (psychology-informed) recommender systems, user modeling, behavioral analytics, information retrieval, machine learning, data science, and web mining. Elisabeth Lex received her Ph.D. in computer science from Graz University of Technology in 2011. After completing the Ph.D. program, she was a postdoctoral research fellow at Universidad National de San Luis, Argentina, and RWTH Aachen, Germany. Elisabeth was a work package leader in the FP7 IP Learning Layers project, in which she researched cognition-inspired recommender systems. She was also the scientific coordinator of the Marie Curie IRSES Web Information Quality Evaluation Initiative (WIQ-EI) project, where she worked in quantifying information quality and credibility aspects of social media. She was task leader in the H2020 Analytics for Everyday Learning (AFEL) project, in which she researched psychology-informed recommender systems and opinion formation in online collaboration networks. Elisabeth was a member of the Expert Group on Altmetrics, which advised the European Commission, DG Research and Innovation. The expert group developed policies for the commission on how to use altmetrics to assess the impact of scientific artifacts. She has published more than 100 scientific publications in venues such as WebConf, HT, RecSys, UMAP, ECIR, ISMIR, as well as in journals such as Foundations and Trends in Information Retrieval, UMUAI, EPJ Data Science, Frontiers in AI, Transactions of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval (TISMIR), or the International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction. Elisabeth regularly gives invited talks about her research and acts as Senior PC member, PC member, co-organizer, track chair, and co-track chair at venues such as WebConf, IUI, RecSys, UMAP, Web Science, or HT. Elisabeth is a passionate teacher at TU Graz and teaches Web Technology/Advanced Information Retrieval, Recommender Systems, Introduction to Structured Programming, Human Rights and Artificial Intelligence, Introduction to Computational Social Systems, Legal Lab 1+2, and Scientific Working.
