MARS: a MultilAnguage Recommender System

Torna indietro

Abstract

The exponential growth of the Web is the most influential factor that contributes to the increasing importance of cross-lingual text retrieval and filtering systems. Indeed, relevant information exists in different languages, thus users need to find documents in languages different from the one the query is formulated in. In this context, an emerging requirement is to sift through the increasing flood of multilingual text: this poses a renewed challenge for designing effective multilingual Information Filtering systems. In this paper, we propose a language-independent content-based recommender system, called MARS (MultilAnguage Recommender System), that builds cross-language user profiles, by shifting the traditional text representation based on keywords, to a more complex language-independent representation based on word meanings. As a consequence, the recommender system is able to suggest items represented in a language different from the one used in the content-based user profile. Experiments conducted in a movie recommendation scenario show the effectiveness of the approach.
