ABSTRACT
Identifying and using the information from distributed and heterogeneous information sources is a challenging task in many application fields. Even with services that offer well-defined structured content, such as digital libraries, it becomes increasingly difficult for a user to find the desired information. To cope with an overloaded information space, we propose a novel approach - VizRec - combining recommender systems (RS) and visualizations. VizRec suggests personalized visual representations for recommended data. One important aspect of our contribution and a prerequisite for VizRec are user preferences that build a personalization model. We present a crowd based evaluation and show how such a model of preferences can be elicited.

A Scalable, Accurate Hybrid Recommender System
WKDD '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Third International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data MiningRecommender systems apply machine learning techniques for filtering unseen information and can predict whether a user would like a given resource. There are three main types of recommender systems: collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, and ...
A framework for diversifying recommendation lists by user interest expansion
Recommender systems have been widely used to discover users' preferences and recommend interesting items to users during this age of information overload. Researchers in the field of recommender systems have realized that the quality of a top-N ...
