ABSTRACT
Recommender systems have become very prominent over the past decade. Methods such as collaborative filtering and knowledge based recommender systems have been developed extensively for non-customizable products. However, as manufacturers today are moving towards customizable products to satisfy customers, the need of the hour is customizable product recommender systems. Such systems must be able to capture customer preferences and provide recommendations that are both diverse and novel. This paper proposes an approach to building a recommender system that can be adapted to customizable products such as desktop computers and home theater systems. The Customizable Product Recommendation problem is modeled as a special case of the Multiple Choice Knapsack Problem, and an algorithm is proposed to generate desirable product recommendations in real-time. The performance of the proposed system is then evaluated.

Recommendations
A novel collaborative filtering approach for recommending ranked items
In recent years, Collaborative Filtering (CF) has proven to be one of the most successful techniques used in recommendation systems. Since current CF systems estimate the ratings of not-yet-rated items based on other items' ratings, these CF systems ...
Recommending items to group of users using Matrix Factorization based Collaborative Filtering
Group recommender systems are becoming very popular in the social web owing to their ability to provide a set of recommendations to a group of users. Several group recommender systems have been proposed by extending traditional KNN based Collaborative ...
Recommending Serendipitous Items using Transfer Learning
CIKM '18: Proceedings of the 27th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge ManagementMost recommender algorithms are designed to suggest relevant items, but suggesting these items does not always result in user satisfaction. Therefore, the efforts in recommender systems recently shifted towards serendipity, but generating serendipitous ...
