@article{citeulike:8506476, abstract = {{Social tagging systems pose new challenges to developers of recommender systems. As observed by recent research, traditional implementations of classic recommender approaches, such as collaborative filtering, are not working well in this new context. To address these challenges, a number of research groups worldwide work on adapting these approaches to the specific nature of social tagging systems. In joining this stream of research, we have developed and evaluated two enhancements of user-based collaborative filtering algorithms to provide recommendations of articles on Cite ULike, a social tagging service for scientific articles. The result obtained after two phases of evaluation suggests that both enhancements are beneficial. Incorporating the number of raters into the algorithms, as we do in our NwCF approach, leads to an improvement of precision, while tag-based BM25 similarity measure, an alternative to Pearson correlation for calculating the similarity between users and their neighbors, increases the coverage of the recommendation process.}}, address = {Los Alamitos, CA, USA}, author = {Santander, Denis P. and Brusilovsky, Peter}, citeulike-article-id = {8506476}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/WI-IAT.2010.261}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/WI-IAT.2010.261}, doi = {10.1109/WI-IAT.2010.261}, interhash = {dd320da969151c01cf270976c0803274}, intrahash = {2c8764f2fe11ef1ae43fc0a5b51301ae}, isbn = {978-0-7695-4191-4}, journal = {Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology, IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on}, pages = {136--142}, posted-at = {2011-01-05 00:19:36}, priority = {0}, publisher = {IEEE Computer Society}, title = {{Improving Collaborative Filtering in Social Tagging Systems for the Recommendation of Scientific Articles}}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/WI-IAT.2010.261}, volume = 1, year = 2010 } @inproceedings{heymann2008social, abstract = {In this paper, we look at the "social tag prediction" problem. Given a set of objects, and a set of tags applied to those objects by users, can we predict whether a given tag could/should be applied to a particular object? We investigated this question using one of the largest crawls of the social bookmarking system del.icio.us gathered to date. For URLs in del.icio.us, we predicted tags based on page text, anchor text, surrounding hosts, and other tags applied to the URL. We found an entropy-based metric which captures the generality of a particular tag and informs an analysis of how well that tag can be predicted. We also found that tag-based association rules can produce very high-precision predictions as well as giving deeper understanding into the relationships between tags.
