Courses in winter term 2016 / Master-Seminar: Context- and Time-Aware Recommender Systems
Abstract

Recommender Systems are nowadays part of our everyday life. Every time we access to our online shop account, specific products are shown to us. Sometimes these suggestions are helpful, sometimes totally useless. But how are these suggestions generated? Is our behavior influencing the recommendation or do we get random suggestions?

We start investigating how Recommender Systems come with a list of relevant objects to be recommended to users. In order to do so, all students must gain basic knowledge of machine learning and be able to explain not only the algorithm used in the chosen paper, but also more basic ones like vanilla Matrix Factorization. We will then consider relevant issues and algorithms’ extensions such as Time Aware and Context Aware Recommender System for the solution of typical issues such as the cold start problem. At the end of the course the students should also be able to reconstruct the complete data history: form the data collection to the algorithm decision.

Please consider that the presentations' slides below are not error free and therefore cannot substitute the participation to the lectures and discussion in class.
