Group-based recipe recommendations 论文

摘要

Collaborative filtering recommendations were designed primarily for individual user models and recommendations. However, nowadays more and more scenarios evolve, in which the recommended items are consumed by groups of users rather than by individuals. This raises the need to uncover the most appropriate group-based collaborative filtering recommendation strategy. In this work we investigate the use of aggregated group data in collaborative filtering recipe recommendations. We present results of a study that exploits recipe ratings provided by families of users, in order to evaluate the accuracy of several group recommendation strategies and weighting models, and analyze the impact of switching strategies, data aggregation heuristics, and group characteristics on the performance of recommendations.
