A Recommender for Active Preference Estimate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recommender systems usually assume that the feedback from users is independent from the way a suggestion is presented. Usually the learning effort to estimate the user model is aimed at recognizing a subset of items according to the user preferences. We argue that acceptance or rejection is not independent from the presentation of the recommended items. Shaping a recommended item means to decide what kind of presentation can be more effective in order to increase the acceptance rate of the item suggested. In this work we address the challenge of designing an active policy that recommends a presentation of an item, i.e. which features use to describe the item, that will produce a more informative feedback from the user. The main contribution of this paper is a first principled design of an algorithm to actively estimate the optimal presentation of an item. An experimental evaluation provides the empirical evidence of the potential benefits.

Nowadays, Recommender Systems (RSs) play a key role in many businesses. They provide consumers with relevant recommendations, e.g., Places of Interest (POIs) to a tourist, based on user preference data, mainly in the form of ratings for items.

متن کاملA Dynamic Prediction Model for Recommender Systems Based on the Doubly Structural Network
In the context of recommender systems, there are two types of enties: users and items, and three types of relationships: users’ relationship, items’ connection and interactions between users and items. In most literatures, one or more of these entities and relationships are used to predict users’ preference or taste. In this paper, we propose a novel approach which incorporates these two entiti...
