Abstract:

 Recommender systems are a branch of retrieval systems and information matching, which through identifying the interests and requires of the user, help the users achieve the desired information or service through a massive selection of choices. In recent years, the recommender systems apply describing information in the terms of the user, such as location, time, and task, in order to produce relevant and even customized recommendations. Recently, some companies began to utilize the context information in their search engines. For instance, when choosing a song for the customer, it attempts to include the current mood of the listener in the context of the suggestions that the user makes. Employing context information, in view of the system's access and ability to collect information from the user interface, it offers more precise and user-friendly content that, in addition to obtaining user satisfaction, will also lead to the development and promotion of the field of work and the concept known as context-aware recommender system. In particular, this paper explores the dimensions of research, work areas, architectures, and tools employed and the ability to create a structure that researchers have based on in this area.

Context-Aware Recommender Systems Evaluation

As the amount of data provided by various software systems increases, there is a need to offer a filtered set of items personalized to user's needs. To enhance user's comfort and thus to satisfy him, we call for recommender system. Recommender systems suggest a set of items that a user might be interested in or might find them useful. Basically, accomplishing recommendation task consists of two...

Context-Aware Music Recommender Systems

Recommender Systems (RSs) are software tools and techniques providing suggestions for items to be of use to a user [20]. In the music domain recommender systems can support information search and discovery tasks by helping the user to find relevant music items, for instance, new music tracks, or artists that the user may not even know [18, 9]. Several techniques have been proposed but most of t...

Using Images in Context-Aware Recommender Systems

In this paper, we propose a unified probabilistic framework for product recommendation which uses both images and user’s contextual situation to predict accurately the ratings. In addition, this framework suggests highly rated and diversified products to reach better user satisfactions in conformance with researches in consumer psychology. Experimental results show that images improve the usefu...

Context-Aware Recommender Systems: A Comparison Of Three Approaches

Methods for generating context-aware recommendations were classified into the pre-filtering, post-filtering and contextual modeling approaches. This paper proposes a novel type of contextual modeling, that is called contextual neighbors, based on the idea of using context to compute the neighborhood in a collaborative filtering approach, and introduces four variants of this method. In addition,...
