A Framework for Integrated Mobile Content Recommendation

Abstract

Content filtering in a mobile recommendation system plays a vital role in providing solution to help mobile device users obtain their desire content. However, mobile content recommendation systems have problems and limitations related to cold start and sparsity. These problems can be viewed as a user's first time connection to a mobile recommendation system and initial rating of the content in an early stage of the system. Hence, to obtain personalized content for mobile user, mobile content filtering is needed. This paper proposes a framework for integrated mobile content recommendation. The framework makes use of classification and adaptive association rule techniques to build an integrated model. The results demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms related techniques. This can address the problem of sparsity for mobile content recommendation systems.
