Recommender systems are built with the aim to reduce the cognitive load on the user. An efficient recommender system should ensure that a user spends minimal time in the process. Conversational Case-Based Recommender Systems (CCBR-RSs) depend on the feedback provided by the user to learn about the preferences of the user. Our goal is to use the feedback provided by the user effectively by exploiting the interplay among the products to build an efficient CCBR-RS. In this work, we propose two ways towards achieving that goal. In the first method, we utilize the higher order similarity and tradeoff relationship among the products to propagate the evidence obtained through user feedback. In our second method, we utilize the diversity among cases/products along with the similarity and trade-off relationship to make the best use of the feedback provided by the user.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
