Discovering the Impact of Knowledge in Recommender Systems: A Comparative Study
Recommender systems engage user profiles and appropriate filtering techniques
to assist users in finding more relevant information over the large volume of
information. User profiles play an important role in the success of
recommendation process since they model and represent the actual user needs.
However, a comprehensive literature review of recommender systems has
demonstrated no concrete study on the role and impact of knowledge in user
profiling and filtering approache. In this paper, we review the most prominent
recommender systems in the literature and examine the impression of knowledge
extracted from different sources. We then come up with this finding that
semantic information from the user context has substantial impact on the
performance of knowledge based recommender systems. Finally, some new clues for
improvement the knowledge-based profiles have been proposed.Comment: 14 pages, 3 tables; International Journal of Computer Science &

A Hybrid Web Recommendation System based on the Improved Association Rule Mining Algorithm
As the growing interest of web recommendation systems those are applied to
deliver customized data for their users, we started working on this system.
Generally the recommendation systems are divided into two major categories such
as collaborative recommendation system and content based recommendation system.
In case of collaborative recommen-dation systems, these try to seek out users
who share same tastes that of given user as well as recommends the websites
according to the liking given user. Whereas the content based recommendation
systems tries to recommend web sites similar to those web sites the user has
liked. In the recent research we found that the efficient technique based on
asso-ciation rule mining algorithm is proposed in order to solve the problem of
web page recommendation. Major problem of the same is that the web pages are
given equal importance. Here the importance of pages changes according to the
fre-quency of visiting the web page as well as amount of time user spends on
that page. Also recommendation of newly added web pages or the pages those are
not yet visited by users are not included in the recommendation set. To
over-come this problem, we have used the web usage log in the adaptive
association rule based web mining where the asso-ciation rules were applied to
personalization. This algorithm was purely based on the Apriori data mining
algorithm in order to generate the association rules. However this method also
suffers from some unavoidable drawbacks. In this paper we are presenting and
investigating the new approach based on weighted Association Rule Mining
Algorithm and text mining. This is improved algorithm which adds semantic
knowledge to the results, has more efficiency and hence gives better quality
and performances as compared to existing approaches.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, 2 table
Context-aware-based Location Recommendation for Elderly Care
As adults age, the body declines. Living independently at home can be a significant challenge for the elderly, particularly for those who suffer from dementia or who have memory impairment. Assisting the elderly to live independently and safely in their own homes by providing appropriate services for them and ensuring that caregivers are immediately alerted in the event of an emergency is crucial. Utilizing context in the recommendation process will make recommendations more appropriate. A model of a context-aware-based location recommender system that can seamlessly monitor the location of the elderly and deliver appropriate location recommendations by considering context is proposed as our contribution. Two scenarios are investigated: (1) we classify location as follows: bedroom (class 1), dining room (class 2), and living room (class 3); (2) we classify location as follows: inside (class 1) and outside (class 2) the bedroom. We evaluate our proposed model using a distance measure concept by employing the cosine distance method. We compare the cosine distance method with fuzzy inference system (FIS) rules on labeled data. The results of the experiments for the first scenario show that the cosine distance has better average accuracy than the fuzzy inference system. For the second scenario, fuzzy c-means (FCM) has the same average accuracy as cosine distance. FCM has slightly better accuracy in class 1 compared to cosine distance (1% difference in accuracy), whereas cosine distance has slightly better accuracy in class 2 compared to the FCM (1% difference in accuracy). In general, we can draw the conclusion that, on this dataset, cosine distance which uses a simple algorithm produced better results than the fuzzy inference system which uses a more complex algorithm.
Context Based Classification of Reviews Using Association Rule Mining, Fuzzy Logics and Ontology
The Internet has facilitated the growth of recommendation system owing to the ease of sharing customer experiences online. It is a challenging task to summarize and streamline the online textual reviews. In this paper, we propose a new framework called Fuzzy based contextual recommendation system. For classification of customer reviews we extract the information from the reviews based on the context given by users. We use text mining techniques to tag the review and extract context. Then we find out the relationship between the contexts from the ontological database. We incorporate fuzzy based semantic analyzer to find the relationship between the review and the context when they are not found therein. The sentence based classification predicts the relevant reviews, whereas the fuzzy based context method predicts the relevant instances among the relevant reviews. Textual analysis is carried out with the combination of association rules and ontology mining. The relationship between review and their context is compared using the semantic analyzer which is based on the fuzzy rules
Automated user modeling for personalized digital libraries
Digital libraries (DL) have become one of the most typical ways of accessing any kind of digitalized information. Due to this key role, users welcome any improvements on the services they receive from digital libraries. One trend used to
improve digital services is through personalization. Up to now, the most common approach for personalization in digital libraries has been user-driven. Nevertheless, the design of efficient personalized services has to be done, at least in part, in
an automatic way. In this context, machine learning techniques automate the process of constructing user models. This paper proposes a new approach to construct digital libraries that satisfy user’s necessity for information: Adaptive Digital Libraries, libraries that automatically learn user preferences and goals and personalize their interaction using this information
