Data Access Tutorial at UMAP 2025

Members of the ECAT team will be at the 33rd ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (UMAP) to deliver a tutorial on data access for researchers under the DSA.

The tutorial is tailored for the UMAP community, addressing the implications of the DSA for user modelling research. It will cover the DSA's key provisions and definitions, outline the procedural steps for accessing VLOP and VLOSE data, and discuss the technical aspects of data access requests. Participants will also explore the challenges and opportunities involved in working with this data. By the end of the tutorial, attendees will have a thorough understanding of the DSA's data access provisions, the technical and procedural requirements for accessing VLOP and VLOSE data, and the regulation's implications for user modelling research. They will be equipped to navigate the complexities of the DSA and contribute to the development of responsible and transparent online platforms.

Registration is managed by the UMAP 2025 main conference organization - you can find out more on the UMAP'25 website.
