Abstract
The mobile and handheld devices have become an indispensable part of life in this era of technological advancement. Further, the ubiquity of location acquisition technologies like global positioning system (GPS) has opened the new avenues for location aware applications for mobile devices. Reading online news is becoming increasingly popular way to gather information from news sources around the globe. Users can search and read the news of their preference wherever they want. The news preferences of individuals are influenced by several factors including the geographical contexts and the recent trends on social media. In this work we propose an approach to recommend the personalized news to the users based on their individual preferences. The model for user preferences are learned implicitly for individual users. Also, the popularity of trending articles floating around the twitter are exploited to provide news interesting recommendations to the user. We believe that the interest of the user, popularity of article and other attributes of news are implicitly fuzzy in nature and therefore we propose to exploit this for generating the recommendation score for articles to be recommended. The prototype is developed for testing and evaluation of proposed approach and the results of the evaluation are motivating.
