Recommender systems help humans in filtering and finding the right information from the enormous amount of data. Hostels are more famous than hotels for solo travelers, but no prior research related to recommender systems has been conducted in this domain. Hostels allow users to provide multi-criteria ratings and traditional recommender systems are not able to provide effective recommendations in case of multi-dimensionality i.e. contextual information and multi-criteriaratings. So, we have proposed a novel hybrid recommender system (SAFCHERS) that chooses the hostel's features for computation dynamically and provides explainable and better recommendations than the traditional recommender systems.

Recommender systems are used to make recommendations about products, information, or services for users. Most existing recommender systems implicitly assume one particular type of user behavior. However, they seldom consider user-recommender interactive scenarios in real-world environments. In this paper, we propose a hybrid recommender system based on user-recommender interaction and evaluate its performance with recall and diversity metrics. First, we define the user-recommender interaction. The recommender system accepts user request, recommendsNitems to the user, and records user choice. If some of these items favor the user, she will select one to browse and continue to use recommender system, until none of the recommended items favors her. Second, we propose a hybrid recommender system combining random andk-nearest neighbor algorithms. Third, we redefine the recall and diversity metrics based on the new scenario to evaluate the recommender system. Experiments results on the well-known MovieLens dataset show that the hybrid algorithm is more effective than nonhybrid ones.

Today, consumers are faced with an abundance of information on the internet; accordingly, it is hard for them to reach the vital information they need. One of the reasonable solutions in modern society is implementing information filtering. Some researchers implemented a recommender system as filtering to increase customers’ experience in social media and e-commerce. This research focuses on the combination of two methods in the recommender system, that is, demographic and content-based filtering, commonly it is called hybrid filtering. In this research, item products are collected using the data crawling method from the big three e-commerce in Indonesia (Shopee, Tokopedia, and Bukalapak). This experiment has been implemented in the web application using the Flask framework to generate products’ recommended items. This research employs the IMDb weight rating formula to get the best score lists and TF-IDF with Cosine similarity to create the similarity between products to produce related items.

Recommender systems nowadays are playing an important role in the delivery of services and information to users. Sentiment analysis (also known as opinion mining) is the process of determining the attitude of textual opinions, whether they are positive, negative or neutral. Data sparsity is representing a big issue for recommender systems because of the insufficiency of user rating or absence of data about users or items. This research proposed a hybrid approach combining sentiment analysis and recommender systems to tackle the problem of data sparsity problems by predicting the rating of products from users’ reviews using text mining and NLP techniques. This research focuses especially on Arabic reviews, where the model is evaluated using Opinion Corpus for Arabic (OCA) dataset. Our system was efficient, and it showed a good accuracy of nearly 85% in predicting the rating from reviews.

It is hard to choose places to go from an endless number of options for some specific circumstances. Recommender systems are supposed to help us deal with these issues and make decisions that are more appropriate. The aim of this study is to recommend new venues to users according to their preferences. For this purpose, a hybrid recommendation model is proposed to integrate user-based and item-based collaborative filtering, content-based filtering together with contextual information in order to get rid of the disadvantages of each approach. Besides that, in which specific circumstances the user will like a specific venue is predicted for each user-venue pair. Moreover, threshold values determining the user’s liking toward a venue are determined separately for each user. Results are evaluated with both offline experiments (precision, recall, F-1 score) and a user study. Both the experimental evaluation with a real-world dataset and a user study of the proposed system showed improvement upon the baseline approaches.

With today's information overload, recommender systems are important to help users in finding needed information. In the movies domain, finding a good movie to watch is not an easy task. Emotions play an important role in deciding which movie to watch. People usually express their emotions in reviews or comments about the movies. In this article, an emotional fingerprint-based model (EFBM) for movies recommendation is proposed. The model is based on grouping movies by emotional patterns of some key factors changing in time and forming fingerprints or emotional tracks, which are the heart of the proposed recommender. Then, it is incorporated into collaborative filtering to detect the interest connected with topics. Experimental simulation is conducted to understand the behavior of the proposed approach. Results are represented to evaluate the proposed recommender.

Recommender Systems is a highly applicable subclass of information filtering systems, aiming to provide users with personalized item suggestions. These systems build on collaborative filtering and content-based methods to overcome the information overload issue. Hybrid recommender systems combine the abovementioned methods and are generally proved to be more efficient than the classical approaches. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for the development of a hybrid recommender system that is able to make recommendations under the limitation of processing small amounts of data with strong intercorrelation. The proposed hybrid solution integrates Machine Learning and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis algorithms. The experimental evaluation of the proposed solution indicates that it performs better than widely used Machine Learning algorithms such as the k-Nearest Neighbors and Decision Trees.

Recently, recommender systems have been developed for a variety of domains. Recommender systems also can be applied in tourism industry to help tourists organizing their travel plans. Recommender systems can be developed by a variety of different techniques such as Content-Based filtering (CB), Collaborative filtering (CF), and Demographic filtering (DF). However, the uses of these techniques individually will have some disadvantages. In this research, we propose a hybrid recommender system to combine the predictions from CB, CF and DF approaches using neural network model. Neural network model will learn by processing a training dataset, comparing the network’s prediction for each dataset with the actual known target value. For each training dataset, the weights are modified to minimize the mean-squared error between the network’s prediction and the actual target value. The experimental results showed that the neural network model outperforms each individual recommendation techniques.

Personalized courseware authoring based on recommender system, which is the process of automatic learning objects selecting and sequencing, is recognized as one of the most interesting research field in intelligent web-based education. Since the learner’s profile of each learner is different from one to another, we must fit learning to the different needs of learners. In fact from the knowledge of the learner’s profile, it is easier to recommend a suitable set of learning objects to enhance the learning process. In this paper we describe a new adaptive learning system-LearnFitII, which can automatically adapt to the dynamic preferences of learners. This system recognizes different patterns of learning style and learners’ habits through testing the psychological model of learners and mining their server logs. Firstly, the device proposed a personalized learning scenario to deal with the cold start problem by using the Felder and Silverman’s model. Next, it analyzes the habits and the preferences of the learners through mining the information about learners’ actions and interactions. Finally, the learning scenario is revisited and updated using hybrid recommender system based on K-Nearest Neighbors and association rule mining algorithms. The results of the system tested in real environments show that considering the learner’s preferences increases learning quality and satisfies the learner.
