Abstract

Context has been recognized as an important factor in constructing personalized recommender systems. However, most contextaware recommendation techniques mainly aim at exploiting item-level contextual information for modeling users’ preferences, while few works attempt to detect more fine-grained aspect-level contextual preferences. Therefore, in this article, we propose a contextual recommendation algorithm based on user-generated reviews, from where users’ contextdependent preferences are inferred through different contextual weighting strategies. The context-dependent preferences are further combined with users’ context-independent preferences for performing recommendation. The empirical results on two real-life datasets demonstrate that our method is capable of capturing users’ contextual preferences and achieving better recommendation accuracy than the related works.
