Currently, there is a big increase in the usage of data analytics applications and services because of the growth in the data produced from different sources. The QoS properties such as response time and latency of these services are important factors to decide which services to select. As a result of IT expansion, energy consumption has become a big issue. Therefore, establishing a QoS-based web service recommender system that considers energy consumption as one of the essential QoS properties represents a significant step towards selecting the energy efficient web services. This dissertation presents an experimental study on energy consumption levels and latency behavior collected from a set of data mining web services running on different datasets. Our study shows that there is a strong relation between the dataset properties and the QoS properties. Based on the findings from this study, a recommender system is built which considers three dimensions (user, service, dataset). The energy consumption values of candidate services invoked by specific users can be predicted for a given dataset. Afterwards, these services can be ranked according to their predicted energy values and presented to users. We propose three approaches to build our recommender system and we treat it as a context-aware recommendation problem. The dataset is considered as contextual information and we use a context-aware matrix factorization model to predict energy values. In the first approach, we adopt the pre-filtering model where the contextual information serves as a query for filtering relevant rating data. In the second approach, we propose a new method for the pre-filtering implementation. Finally, in the last approach, we adopt the contextual modeling method and we explore different ways of representing dataset information as contextual factors to investigate their impacts on the recommendation accuracy. We compare the proposed approaches with the baseline approaches and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed ones. Also, we compare the performance of the three approaches to discover the best-fit approach when being measured using different metrics. Both prediction and recommendation accuracy of the proposed approaches are significantly better than the baseline models.

The domain of context aware recommender approaches has made substantial advancement over the last decade, but many applications still do not include contextual information while providing recommendations. Contextual information is crucial for various application areas and should not be ignored. There are generally three algorithms which can be used to include context and those are: pre-filter approach, post-filter approach, and contextual modeling. Each of the algorithms has their own drawbacks. The proposed approach modifies the post filter approach to rectify its shortcomings and combines it with the pre-filter approach based on the importance of contextual attribute provided by the user. The results of experimental setup also demonstrate that the proposed system improves the precision and ranking of the recommendations provided to user. With the help of this hybrid approach, the proposed system eliminates the problem of sparsity which is present in the pre-filter algorithm, and has performance improvement over the traditional post-filter approach.

Personalized recommendation offers a new way to solve the problem of information overload. In order to effectively build user model and improve the effect of personalized recommendation, this paper proposes a novel model for mining contextual information of non-structure text, and insects the contextual information into user model, which enriches user model. The experiment results shown that the model can greatly improve the recommendation performance when the model is applied to contextual data of the recommender system in hotel.

The use of pervasive computing technologies for advertising purposes is an interesting emergent field for large, medium, and small companies. Although recommender systems have been a traditional solution to decrease users’ cognitive effort to find good and personalized items, the classic collaborative filtering needs to include contextual information to be more effective. The inclusion of users’ social context information in the recommendation algorithm, specifically trust in other users, may be a mechanism for obtaining ads’ influence from other users in their closest social circle. However, there is no consensus about the variables to use during the trust inference process, and its integration into a classic collaborative filtering recommender system deserves a deeper research. On the other hand, the pervasive advertising domain demands a recommender system evaluation from a novelty/precision perspective. The improvement of the precision/novelty balance is not only a matter related to the recommendation algorithm itself but also a better recommendations’ display strategy. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for a collaborative filtering recommender system based on trust, which was tested throughout a digital signage prototype using a multiscreen scheme for recommendations delivery to evaluate our proposal using a novelty/precision approach.

Recently. recommender systems have become a very crucial application in the online market and e-commerce as users are often astounded by choices and preferences and they need help finding what the best they are looking for. Recommender systems have proven to overcome information overload issues in the retrieval of information, but still suffer from persistent problems related to cold-start and data sparsity. On the flip side, sentiment analysis technique has been known in translating text and expressing user preferences. It is often used to help online businesses to observe customers’ feedbacks on their products as well as try to understand customer needs and preferences. However, the current solution for embedding traditional sentiment analysis in recommender solutions seems to have limitations when involving multiple domains. Therefore, an issue called domain sensitivity should be addressed. In this paper, a sentiment-based model with contextual information for recommender system was proposed. A novel solution for domain sensitivity was proposed by applying a contextual information sentiment-based model for recommender systems. In evaluating the contributions of contextual information in sentiment-based recommendations, experiments were divided into standard rating model, standard sentiment model and contextual information model. Results showed that the proposed contextual information sentiment-based model illustrates better performance as compared to the traditional collaborative filtering approach.
