UNED @ CLEF-Newsreel 2014

This paper summarizes our participation in the CLEF-NEWSREEL 2014 Challenge. The challenge focused on the recommendation of news articles. UNED’s participation is in the “Recommend news articles in real-time” task. To address the recommendation tasks, a Formal Concept Analysis framework is proposed to first create the recommendation models and second to compute the recommendations. Our results prove that our FCA proposal outperforms the proposed baseline recommendation approaches. However, its performance is not still enough to be compared to other proposals for this task. In this sense some identified drawbacks, which prejudice the performance of our system, have been identified and possible solutions, to be addressed as future work, have been proposed.
