Modeling Personal Values for Recommender Systems Abstract: Recommender systems are widely used in various applications, such as movie recommendations, e-commerce, and tourism. While traditional recommendation algorithms focus on estimating users’ preference from their past behaviors, we should consider other factors than preference to extend the scope of application, such as the recommendation for behavioral change. I think the personal values of users’ are one of such additional factors that should be taken into account by recommender systems. In this talk, I will introduce the method for modeling users’ personal values and how to incorporate them into recommender systems. |
