A Semantic Recommender Engine for Idea Generation Improvement

Abstract

In order to develop the ability to be competitive in considering rapid ly growing global market and enormously changing in technology, organizations are looking for up -to-date procedures to respond to all these transformations. Being smart and innovative is actually the most significant pillars of successful organization strategies. In other words, organizations need to encourage learning, manage knowledge and create innovative ideas. A major issue of creative ideation is improv ing the quality of the ideas generated. In this paper, we propose a semantic reco mmender engine for idea generation in order to assist organizations to imp rove their ways of generating new ideas. Through this novel system, innovation actors will be ab le to consider new perspectives, make new connections, think differently and thus produce new promising ideas. We initially introduce the concept behind a smart organization, explore the idea generation in such organizations and examine the role of recommender systems for managing this stage and identifying breakthrough ideas. Next, we present the context of design, the conceptual architecture of the suggested system and finally expand the workflo w of semantic similarity matching of ideas with a focus on the key components of the semantic recommendation engine.

Recommender systems for sustainability: overview and research issues

“…Achieving sustainability goals is a central agenda of public administrations and finding relevant acceptable solutions for achieving these goals has to be performed in terms of a participatory innovation and design process (Felfernig et al, 2004 ; Brocco and Groh, 2009 ; Smith and Iversen, 2018 ; Shadowen et al, 2020 ). In this context, recommender systems can be applied to support idea generation processes, for example, by recommending ideas to community members interested in similar topics (Haiba et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Fostering innovation can be supported in various forms—examples thereof are innovation processes where recommender systems provide support in the configuration of innovation teams, i.e., who should work together to achieve specific innovation goals (Brocco and Groh, 2009 ) and the process of idea generation (Haiba et al, 2017 ). An important aspect in software development is to overcome the barriers of taking into account sustainability aspects in software engineering (Roher and Richardson, 2013 ).…”

The Prime Risks of Financing Small and Medium Enterprise (SMEs) Business-Projects in Developing Economies

“…Being smart and innovative is actually the most significant pillars of successful organization strategies. Also, a major issue of creative ideation is improving the quality of the ideas generated [75]. This is what makes idea risk vary crucial when considering business-project financing risks.…”
