A systematic literature review of recent advances on context-aware recommender systems

Recommender systems are software mechanisms whose usage is to offer suggestions for different types of entities like products, services, or contacts that could be useful or interesting for a specific user. Other ways have been explored in the field to enhance the power of these systems by integratin...

description Recommender systems are software mechanisms whose usage is to offer suggestions for different types of entities like products, services, or contacts that could be useful or interesting for a specific user. Other ways have been explored in the field to enhance the power of these systems by integrating the context as an additional attribute. This inclusion tries to extract the user preferences more accurately taking into account multiple components such as temporal, spatial, or social ones. Notwithstanding the magnitude of context-awareness in this area, the research community is in agreement with the lack of framework for context information and how to integrate it into recommender systems.
