Abstract

Most of the recommender systems are content-based: they provide the user a subset of items close to his interest by using the item features. In real recommender systems, the main problem is the big amount of items to be treated. In this work we propose to incorporate context information in a uniform way. We use fuzzy logic and formal concept analysis as a framework to combine context information and content-based recommender systems. Concretely, we specify the content by using fuzzy relations, the context by using fuzzy implications and Simplification Logic to develop an intelligent and linear pre-filtering process. We illustrate this method with an application to the tourism sector.
