چکیده
The field of e-learning and self-learning has rapidly evolved during the past decade mainly because of major advances in telecommunications and information technologies, in particular the widespread use of web and mobile applications. Furthermore, the work environment conditions in most industries have become extremely demanding and competitive; therefore various forms of life-long learning appear to play an important role for employees’ career development, as well as for companies’ productivity improvement and human resources’ efficiency. The flexibility, and cost effectiveness that e-learning offers is very significant, in most cases.

Hybrid Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Recommender Accommodating User’s Learning Style and Web Page Features
Personalized recommenders have proved to be of use as a solution to reduce the information overload problem. Especially in Adaptive Hypermedia System, a recommender is the main module that delivers suitable learning objects to learners. Recommenders suffer from the cold-start and the sparsity problems. Furthermore, obtaining learner’s preferences is cumbersome. Most studies have only focused...
متن کاملDeveloping a recommender system for assigning projects to supervising engineers (Case study: Damghan construction engineering organization)
Supervising engineers are one of the most important actors in construction industry and have an important role in improving quality and increasing safety. However, assigning projects to these engineers in some cases are unjust and inefficient. Therefore, in this paper a recommender system is developed in which the competencies of engineers along with the features of the projects are considered....

Personalization needs to identify the learners’ preferences and their characteristics as an important part in any e-learning environment which without identify learners’ mental characteristics and their learning approaches, personalization cannot be possible. Whatever this identifying process has been done more completely and more accurately, the learner model that based on it will be more reli...
متن کاملSemi-supervised Learning for Discrete Choice Models
We introduce a semi-supervised discrete choice model to calibrate discrete choice models when relatively few requests have both choice sets and stated preferences but the majority only have the choice sets. Two classic semi-supervised learning algorithms, the expectation maximization algorithm and the cluster-and-label algorithm, have been adapted to our choice modeling problem setting. We also...
متن کاملAn Effective Algorithm in a Recommender System Based on a Combination of Imperialist Competitive and Firey Algorithms
With the rapid expansion of the information on the Internet, recommender systems play an important role in terms of trade and research. Recommender systems try to guess the user's way of thinking, using the in-formation of user's behavior or similar users and their views, to discover and then propose a product which is the most appropriate and closest product of user's interest. In the past dec...
