Tagsplanations: Explaining Recommendations Using Tags

Users: 1 - Average Rating: 5.00


The objective of the authors is to come to a system that explains a recommendation. The idea is to use the concepts of tag relevance and tag preference. The experimental setting is movie recommendation. Recommendations are often item based, use-based or tag based. We are interested in such approaches where we see items as questions in a database and tags as keywords. If we can relate the user behaviour on questions, we can perhaps create a user dedicated recommendation o a keyword.
The paper focuses on creating a recommendation for an item (read movie) and a tag-based explanation (tagsplanation), where the choice of the (type of) tags is of importance. I feel that what we would like to do is not only item based, but yes individual user based, but we also would like to relate to keywords which are set by experts that according to them have relevance.
