Anything fun going on? A simple wizard to avoid the cold-start problem for event recommenders

Stacey Donohue, Nevena Dragovic, Maria Soledad Pera

Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › Scientific › peer-review

Abstract

In this demo, we showcase a set up wizard designed to bypass the cold start problem that often affects recommendation systems in the event domain. We have developed a mobile application for tourists, RelEVENT, which allows them to quickly and non-intrusively set up preferences and/or interests related to events. This will directly affect the degree to which they can receive personalized recommendations on-the-fly and become aware of events happening around town that might be appealing to them.
