Abstract

Context-aware recommender systems researches now concentrate on adjusting recommendation results for situations specific context of the users. These studies suggest many ways to integrate user contextual information into the recommendation process such as using topic hierarchies with matrix factorization techniques to improve context-aware recommender systems, measuring frequency-based similarity for context-aware recommender systems, collecting data from social networking to support context-aware recommender systems, and so on. However, these studies mainly focus on the development of context-aware recommendation algorithms to propose items to users in a particular situation and do not care about the extent of contextual involvement in the recommendation process to make recommendation results. In this article, we propose a new approach for context-aware recommender systems based on objective interestingness measures to consider the contextual relationship of the users in the recommendation process. Based on the experimental results on two standard datasets, the proposed model is more accurate than the traditional models.
