Development of a Reading Material Recommendation System Based on a Multi-expert Knowledge Acquisition Approach

In English courses, it is very important to assign proper articles to individual students for training their reading ability. This study proposes an innovative approach for developing reading material recommendation systems by eliciting domain knowledge from multiple experts. An experiment has been conducted to evaluate the performance of the approach; moreover, a comparison on the existing approaches is given to show the advantages of applying the innovative approach.
