Context‐aware recommender systems (CARS) generate more relevant recommendations by adapting them to the specific contextual situation of user. This article explores how information can be used create intelligent and useful systems. It provides an overview multifaceted notion context, discusses several approaches for incorporating in recommendation process, illustrates usage such application areas where different types contexts are exploited. The concludes discussing challenges future...

Application of data mining techniques to the World Wide Web, referred as Web mining, has been focus several recent research projects and papers. However, there is no established vocabulary, leading confusion when comparing efforts. The term used in two distinct ways. first, called content this paper, process information discovery from sources across Web. second, usage for user browsing access patterns. We define present an overview various issues, techniques, development briefly describe...

Collaborative tagging applications allow Internet users to annotate resources with personalized tags. The complex network created by many annotations, often called a folksonomy, permits the freedom explore tags, or even other user's profiles unbound from rigid predefined conceptual hierarchy. However, afforded comes at cost: an uncontrolled vocabulary can result in tag redundancy and ambiguity hindering navigation. Data mining techniques, such as clustering, provide means remedy these...

Publicly accessible adaptive systems such as collaborative recommender present a security problem. Attackers, who cannot be readily distinguished from ordinary users, may inject biased profiles in an attempt to force system “adapt” manner advantageous them. Such attacks lead degradation of user trust the objectivity and accuracy system. Recent research has begun examine vulnerabilities robustness different recommendation techniques face “profile injection” attacks. In this article, we...

To engage visitors to a Web site at very early stage (i.e., before registration or authentication), personalization tools must rely primarily on clickstream data captured in server logs. The lack of explicit user ratings as well the sparse nature and large volume such setting poses serious challenges standard collaborative filtering techniques terms scalability performance. usage mining clustering that offline pattern discovery from transactions can be used improve filtering, however, this...

Web-based organizations often generate and collect large volumes of data in their daily operations. Analyzing such involves the discovery meaningful relationships from a collection primarily unstructured data, stored Web server access logs. While traditional domains for mining, as point sale databases, have naturally defined transactions, there is no convenient method clustering web references into transactions. This paper identifies model user browsing behavior that separates page those...

Many recommendation algorithms suffer from popularity bias in their output: popular items are recommended frequently and less ones rarely, if at all. However, popular, long-tail precisely those that often desirable recommendations. In this paper, we introduce a flexible regularization-based framework to enhance the coverage of lists learning-to-rank algorithm. We show regularization provides tunable mechanism for controlling trade-off between accuracy coverage. Moreover, experimental results...

Every user has a distinct background and specific goal when searching for information on the Web. The of Web search personalization is to tailor results particular based that user's interests preferences. Effective access involves two important challenges: accurately identifying context organizing in such way matches context. We present an approach personalized building models as ontological profiles by assigning implicitly derived interest scores existing concepts domain ontology. A...

Contextual factors can greatly influence the users' preferences in listening to music. Although it is hard capture these directly, possible see their effects on sequence of songs liked by user his/her current interaction with system. In this paper, we present a context-aware music recommender system which infers contextual information based most recent user. Our approach mines top frequent tags for from social tagging Web sites and uses topic modeling determine set latent topics each song,...

Recommendation algorithms are known to suffer from popularity bias; a few popular items recommended frequently while the majority of other ignored. These recommendations then consumed by users, their reaction will be logged and added system: what is generally as feedback loop. In this paper, we propose method for simulating users interaction with recommenders in an offline setting study impact loop on bias amplification several recommendation algorithms. We show how leads problems such...

Contextual information has been widely recognized as an important modeling dimension in social sciences and computing. In particular, the role of context enhancing recommendation results retrieval performance. While a substantial amount existing research focused on context-aware recommender systems (CARS), many interesting problems remain under-explored. The CARS 2024 workshop provides venue for presenting discussing features next generation application domains that may require use novel...

Web-usage mining has become the subject of intensive research, as its potential for personalized services, adaptive Web sites and customer profiling is recognized. However, reliability results depends heavily on proper preparation input datasets. In particular, errors in reconstruction sessions incomplete tracing users’ activities a site can easily result invalid patterns wrong conclusions. this study, we evaluate performance heuristics employed to reconstruct from server log data. Such are...

We describe an approach to usage based Web personalization taking into account both the offline tasks related mining of data, and online process automatic page customization on mined knowledge. Specifically, we propose effective technique for capturing common user profiles association rule discovery clustering. also techniques combining this knowledge with current status ongoing activity perform real time personalization. Finally, provide experimental evaluation proposed using data.

Collaborative recommender systems are highly vulnerable to attack. Attackers can use automated means inject a large number of biased profiles into such system, resulting in recommendations that favor or disfavor given items. Since collaborative must be open user input, it is difficult design system cannot so attacked. Researchers studying robust recommendation have therefore begun identify types attacks and study mechanisms for recognizing defeating them. In this paper, we propose different...

We present a recommender system that models and recommends product features for given domain. Our approach mines descriptions from publicly available online specifications, utilizes text mining novel incremental diffusive clustering algorithm to discover domain-specific features, generates probabilistic feature model represents commonalities, variants, cross-category then uses association rule the k-Nearest-Neighbor machine learning strategy generate specific recommendations. supports...

Recently there has been a growing interest in fairness-aware recommender systems including fairness providing consistent performance across different users or groups of users. A system could be considered unfair if the recommendations do not fairly represent tastes certain group while other receive that are with their preferences. In this paper, we use metric called miscalibration for measuring how recommendation algorithm is responsive to users' true preferences and consider various...

Recommender system has been demonstrated as one of the most useful tools to assist users' decision makings. Several recommendation algorithms have developed and implemented by both commercial open-source libraries. Context-aware recommender (CARS) emerged a novel research direction during past decade many contextual proposed. Unfortunately, no engines start embed those in their kits, due special characteristics data format processing methods domain CARS. This paper introduces an Java-based...
