A Recommender System with Uncertainty on the Example of Political Elections

  • Conference paper
Book cover Advances in Computational Intelligence (IPMU 2012)

Abstract

The article presents a system of election recommendation in which both candidate’s and voter’s preferences can be described in an imprecise way. The model of the system is based on IF-set theory which can express hesitation or lack of knowledge. Similarity measures of IF-sets and linguistic quantifiers are used in the decision-making process.
