Abstract

En 中文

Context-aware recommendation is an essential part of advanced advertising systems. Most of the existing context-aware recommender systems (CARS) build recommendation models considering context as a static entity. In practice, user preferences are dynamic and change over time. In this study, we argue that CARS must be able to dynamically opt for the evolving behavior of contextual attributes. We propose a solution with a runtime identification of contextual information and jointly integrate content analysis to boost recommendation performance. Initially, the proposed model constructs a list of contextually similar candidates. The users' context information extracted in the initial step is modeled together with the content information to estimate a context score used to find contextually reliable neighbors. Instead of relying on a fixed rating matrix, we dynamically exploit contextual information for effective rating prediction. Experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms classical and state-of-the-art recommendation algorithms.
