Sharing geotagged pictures for an Emotion-based Recommender System

摘要

Recommender systems are prominently used for movie or app recommendation or in e-commerce by considering profiles, past preferences and increasingly also further personalized measures. We designed and implemented an emotion-based recommender system for city visitors that takes into account user emotion and user location for the recommendation process. We conducted a comparative study between the emotion-based recommender system and recommender systems based on traditional measures. Our evaluation study involved 28 participators and the experiments showed that the emotion-based recommender system increased the average rating of the recommendation by almost 19%. We conclude that the use of emotion can significantly improve the results and especially their level of personalization.
