@inproceedings{puertamelguizo2008personalized, abstract = {Writing is a complex task and several computer systems have been developed in order to support writing. Most of these systems, however, are mainly designed with the purpose of supporting the processes of planning, organizing and connecting ideas. In general, these systems help writers to formulate external visual representations of their ideas and connections of the main topics that should be addressed in the paper, sequence of the sections, etc. With the advent of the world wide web, writing and finding information for the written text has become increasingly intertwined. Consequently, it is necessary to develop systems able to support the task of finding relevant information during writing, without interfering with the writing process proper. In this paper we present the Proactive Recommender System: A propos. This system is being developed in order to support writers in the difficult task of finding appropriate relevant information during writing. We raise the question whether the tendency to interleave (re)search and writing implies a need for developing more comprehensive models of the cognitive processes involved in writing scientific and policy papers. }, author = {Puerta Melguizo, Mari Carmen and Muñoz Ramos, Olga and Boves, Lou and Bogers, Toine and van den Bosch, Antal}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Workshop on Natural Language Processing resources, algorithms and tools for authoring aids}, editor = {and}, interhash = {264e2eeb8c9417f8dc974d22e5502ae9}, intrahash = {5a29342d397e1c4e7f783029fc134620}, pages = {21--26}, title = {A Personalized Recommender System for Writing in the Internet Age }, url = {http://repository.dlsi.ua.es/251/1/workshops/W23_Proceedings.pdf#page=27}, year = 2008 } @phdthesis{bogers2009recommender, abstract = {Recommender systems belong to a class of personalized information filtering technologies that aim to identify which items in a collection might be of interest to a particular user. Recommendations can be made using a variety of information sources related to both the user and the items: past user preferences, demographic information, item popularity, the metadata characteristics of the products, etc. Social bookmarking websites, with their emphasis on open collaborative information access, offer an ideal scenario for the application of recommender systems technology. They allow users to manage their favorite bookmarks online through a web interface and, in many cases, allow their users to tag the content they have added to the system with keywords. The underlying application then makes all information sharable among users. Examples of social bookmarking services include Delicious, Diigo, Furl, CiteULike, and BibSonomy. In my Ph.D. thesis I describe the work I have done on item recommendation for social bookmarking, i.e., recommending interesting bookmarks to users based on the content they bookmarked in the past. In my experiments I distinguish between two types of information sources. The first one is usage data contained in the folksonomy, which represents the past selections and transactions of all users, i.e., who added which items, and with what tags. The second information source is the metadata describing the bookmarks or articles on a social bookmarking website, such as title, description, authorship, tags, and temporal and publication-related metadata. I compare and combine the content-based aspect with the more common usage-based approaches. I evaluate my approaches on four data sets constructed from three different social bookmarking websites: BibSonomy, CiteULike, and Delicious. In addition, I investigate different combination methods for combining different algorithms and show which of those methods can successfully improve recommendation performance. Finally, I consider two growing pains that accompany the maturation of social bookmarking websites: spam and duplicate content. I examine how widespread each of these problems are for social bookmarking and how to develop effective automatic methods for detecting such unwanted content. Finally, I investigate the influence spam and duplicate content can have on item recommendation. }, address = {Tilburg, The Netherlands}, author = {Bogers, Toine}, interhash = {65b74dcabaa583a48469f3dec2ec1f62}, intrahash = {b02daac1201473600b7c8d2553865b4a}, month = dec, school = {Tilburg University}, title = {Recommender Systems for Social Bookmarking}, url = {http://ilk.uvt.nl/~toine/phd-thesis/}, year = 2009 } @phdthesis{bogers2009recommender, abstract = {Recommender systems belong to a class of personalized information filtering technologies that aim to identify which items in a collection might be of interest to a particular user.
