Developing Constraint-based Recommenders

چکیده
Recommender systems provide valuable support for users who are searching for products and services in e-commerce environments. Research in the field long focused on algorithms supporting the recommendation of quality & taste products such as news, books, or movies. Nowadays, the scope of those systems is extended to complex product domains such as financial services or electronic consumer goods. Constraint-based recommenders are particularly well suited as they support effective product and service selection processes in such domains. In this chapter, we characterize constraint-based recommendation problems and provide an overview of major technologies that support the development of knowledge bases for constraint-based recommenders which is of high importance for a successful application in commercial settings. Thereafter we give an overview of intelligent interaction mechanisms which are supported by constraint-based recommender applications, discuss scenarios where constraint-based recommenders have been successfully applied, and provide a discussion of different solution approaches. Finally, this chapter is concluded with an outline of open research issues.

متن کاملAn Overview of Direct Diagnosis and Repair Techniques in the WEEVIS Recommendation Environment∗
Constraint-based recommenders support users in the identification of items (products) fitting their wishes and needs. Example domains are financial services and electronic equipment. In this paper we show how divide-and-conquer based (direct) diagnosis algorithms (no conflict detection is needed) can be exploited in constraint-based recommendation scenarios. In this context, we provide an overv...
متن کاملPersonalizing Diagnoses for Inconsistent Constraint Sets
Constraint-based applications such as configurators, recommenders, and scheduling systems support users in complex decision making scenarios. Typically, these systems try to identify a solution that satisfies all articulated user requirements. If the requirements are inconsistent with the underlying constraint set, users have to be actively supported in finding a way out from the no solution co...
متن کاملA Wiki-based Environment for Constraint-based Recommender Systems Applied in the E-Government Domain
Constraint-based recommenders support customers in identifying relevant items from complex item assortments. In this paper we present WeeVis, a constraint-based environment that can be applied in different scenarios in the e-government domain. WeeVis supports collaborative knowledge acquisition for recommender applications in a MediaWiki-based context. This paper shows how Wiki pages can be ext...
متن کاملAn Integrated Knowledge Engineering Environment for Constraint-based Recommender Systems
Constraint-based recommenders support customers in identifying relevant items from complex item assortments. In this paper we present a constraint-based environment already deployed in real-world scenarios that supports knowledge acquisition for recommender applications in a MediaWiki-based context. This technology provides the opportunity do directly integrate informal Wiki content with comple...
