Towards Context-aware Recommendations. The goal of a Recommender System is to model the users' preferences in order to recommend new items that the users is likely to find of interest.

Towards Context-aware Recommendations

However, we know that user preferences are influenced by a contextual conditions, such as the time of the day, mood, or current activity, but this type of information is not exploited by standard models. Context-aware recommender systems (CARS) aim at improving user satisfaction to recommendations by tailoring these to each particular context. Context-aware recommendation is a research hot topic since it bridges the gap between recommender systems and other areas of research such as ubiquitous computing. However, research on this topic is still on its first stages and there is a lot to be done. If you want some background reading, I would recommend start by looking at the work of Gedas Adomavicious and Alex Tuzhilin.

In this first approach to contextual recommendations we have tried to tackle the issue of time-dependent music recommendation. Room’s Ambience Fingerprinted By Phone. DURHAM, N.C. - Your smart phone may soon be able to know not only that you're at the mall, but whether you're in the jewelry store or the shoe store.

Room’s Ambience Fingerprinted By Phone

Duke University computer engineers have made use of standard cell phone features -- accelerometers, cameras and microphones -- to turn the unique properties of a particular space into a distinct fingerprint. While standard global positioning systems (GPS) are only accurate to 10 meters (32 feet) and do not work indoors, the new application is designed to work indoors and can be as precise as telling if a user is on one side of an interior wall or another. The system, dubbed SurroundSense, uses the phone's built-in camera and microphone to record sound, light and colors, while the accelerometer records movement patterns of the phone's user.

This information is sent to a server, which knits the disparate information together into a single fingerprint. Home - Secure backup, sync and sharing made easy. DivShare - Professional Media and Document Sharing. File2.ws. Free File Hosting - File Dropper: File Host for Mp3, Videos, Mus.
