The use of artificially intelligent techniques to overcome specific shortcomings within e-learning systems is a well-researched area that keeps on evolving in an attempt to optimise such resourceful practices. The lack of personalization and the sentiment of isolation coupled with a feeling of being treated like all others, tends to discourage and push learners away from courses that are very well prepared academically and excellently projected intellectually. The use of recommender systems to deliver relevant information in a timely manner that is specifically differentiated to a unique learner is once more being investigated to alievate the e-learning issue of being impersonal.  The application of such a technique also assists the learner by reducing information overload and providing learning material that can be shared, criticized and reviewed at one’s own pace. In this paper we propose the use of a fully automated recommender system based on recent AI developments together with Web 2.0 applications and socially networked technologies. We argue that such technologies have provided the extra capabilities that were required to deliver a realistic and practical interfacing medium to assist online learners and take recommender systems to the next level.

With the introduction of Web 2.0, which includes users as content generators, finding relevant information is even more complex. To tackle this problem of information overload, a number of different techniques have been introduced, including search engines, Semantic Web, and recommender systems, among others. The use of recommender systems for e-Government is a research topic that is intended to improve the interaction among public administrations, citizens, and the private sector through reducing information overload on e-Government services. In this chapter, the use of recommender systems on eParticipation is presented. A brief description of the eGovernment Framework used and the participation levels that are proposed to enhance participation. The highest level of participation is known as eEmpowerment, where the decision-making is placed on the side of citizens. Finally, a set of examples for the different eParticipation types is presented to illustrate the use of recommender systems.

With increasing user information volume in online social networks, recommender systems have been an effective method to limit such information overload. The requirements of recommender systems specified, with widespread adoption in many internet social Twitter, Facebook, and Google online applications. In recent years,  the  micro-blogging  in  Twitter  has  brought  greater  importance  to  online  users  as  a  channel  spreading knowledge  and  information.  Through  Twitter,  users  can  find  the  relevant  information  on  the  search  they perform,  but  understanding  the  past,  present,  and  future  information  relevant  to  the  investigation  source  is needed real-time information. Estimating the successful tweet status (history, ongoing, and prospective) among the huge population of Twitter members is important to satisfy the needs of Twitter online content readers. In this paper, a Dynamic Tweets Status Recommender System (DTSRS) is designed by creating a set of dynamic recommendations to a Twitter user based on usability, consisting of people who post tweets, which is exciting present and future. The proposed recommender system is implemented through two approaches: the first is to analyze  the  Twitter  member  online  tweets,  select  and  understand  the  content  of  that  tweet,  and  the  second predicts  the  understanding  of  the  tweet  content,  suggest  the  dynamic  status  of  the  tweets.  In  this  paper,  the Twitter user tweets' views are expressed after examining the depth of content, different types of user interfaces, text filtering, and machine learning technique. The set of results through tweets experimentations with database operators carried out to evaluate and comparability the proposed recommender system's performance.

This chapter presents a brief overview of the field of recommender technologies and their emerging application domains. The authors explain the current major recommender system approaches within a unifying model, discuss emerging applications of recommender systems beyond traditional e-commerce, and outline emerging trends and future research topics, along with additional readings in the area of recommender technologies and applications. They believe that personalized recommender technologies will continue to advance and be applied in a variety of traditional and emerging application domains to assist users in the age of information overload.

Tourism activities are highly dependent on spatial information. Finding the most interesting travel destinations and attractions and planning a trip are still open research issues to GIScience research applied to the tourism domain. Nowadays, huge amounts of information are available over the world wide web that may be useful in planning a visit to destinations and attractions. However, it is often time consuming for a user to select the most interesting destinations and attractions and plan a trip according to his own preferences. Tourism recommender systems (TRSs) can be used to overcome this information overload problem and to propose items taking into account the user preferences. This chapter reviews related topics in tourism recommender systems including different tourism recommendation approaches and user profile representation methods applied in the tourism domain. The authors illustrate the potential of tourism recommender systems as applied to the tourism domain by the implementation of an illustrative geospatial collaborative recommender system using the Foursquare dataset.

Recommender systems in e-learning contexts typically try to “intelligently” recommend actions to a learner based on the actions of previous learners. One of the limitations of such systems is that a lot of data is needed in order to recommend meaningful activities. This chapter describes one approach for addressing this limitation in a framework that uses a structured map of mathematics concepts and processes to power a recommender system that will recommend to students digital learning activities for which they are ready. This recommender system is called Metis, for the Greek goddess of good advice, and is currently in the design phase. Metis takes seriously the idea that to build on the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) that a student has, it is essential to identify those KSAs. Trying to build on KSAs that a student does not have is misguided. Metis recommends activities linked to KSAs that students are ready to learn, and more standard recommender algorithms further refine the list of recommended activities. Taking this approach has the potential to make activities more engaging, which can lead learners to greater interest in the content area.

With the enormous amount of information circulating on the Web, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the necessary and useful information quickly and efficiently. However, with the emergence of recommender systems in the 1990s, reducing information overload became easy. In the last few years, many recommender systems employ the collaborative filtering technology, which has been proven to be one of the most successful techniques in recommender systems. Nowadays, the latest generation of collaborative filtering methods still requires further improvements to make the recommendations more efficient and accurate. Therefore, the objective of this article is to propose a new effective recommender system for TED talks that first groups users according to their preferences, and then provides a powerful mechanism to improve the quality of recommendations for users. In this context, the authors used the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) method and TED talks to create the TED user-user matrix. Then, they used the k-means clustering method to group the same users in clusters and create a predictive model. Finally, they used this model to make relevant recommendations to other users. The experimental results on real dataset show that their approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of RMSE, precision, recall, and F1 scores.
