Abstract

A recommender system is often perceived as an enigmatic entity that seems to guess our thoughts, and predict our interests. It is defined as a system capable of providing information to users according to their needs. It is enable them to explore data more effectively. There are several recommendation approaches and this domain remains to date an active research area that aims improving the quality of recommended contents. The main goal of this paper is to provide not only a global view of major recommender systems but also comparisons according to different specifications. We categorize and discuss their main features, advantages, limits and usages.
