ACM UMAP 2017 invites tutorials that address the interests of its varied audience: people new to the User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization researchers and practitioners who wish to learn new technologies, users of personalized technologies, representatives of government and funding agencies as well as potential private investors in personalized technologies. We welcome submissions of tutorial proposals on all major topics related to user modeling and personalization technologies. We especially solicit proposals for tutorials of the following types:
• Tutorials with a coherent theme providing an introduction to new user modeling technologies, methods, techniques, and trends (e.g., exploiting data mining and big data analytics for user modeling, evaluation methodologies, data visualization, evaluation, ethical issues, etc.).
• Tutorials describing the application of user modeling and personalization technologies in specific domains (e.g., health sciences, e-government, e-commerce, cultural heritage, education, internet of things, mobile, music, information retrieval, natural language processing, etc.).
• Tutorials presenting techniques from other fields that are of relevance for user modeling and personalization research, including social sciences, digital humanities, biomedical or cognitive science, and neuroscience research.

Tutorials may focus on theoretical topics, however, we encourage organizers to incorporate hands-on sessions where appropriate. The tutorial should reach a good balance between the topic coverage and its relevance to the community. Tutorials can be half a day (3 hours) or full day (6 hours).
