Exploiting Semantic Web Technologies for Recommender Systems: A Multi View Recommendation Engine (Short Paper)

Collaborative filtering systems are probably the most known recommendation techniques in the recommender systems field. They have been deployed in many commercial and academic applications. However, these systems still have some limitations such as cold start and sparsty problems. Recently, exploiting semantic web technologies such as social recommendations and semantic resources have been investigated. We propose a multi view recommendation engine integrating, in addition of the collaborative recommendations, social and semantic recommendations. Three different hybridization strategies to combine different types of recommendations are also proposed. Finally, an empirical study was conducted to verify our proposition.
