These systems usually include tag recommendation mechanisms easing the process of finding good tags for a resource, but also consolidating the tag vocabulary across users. In practice, however, only very basic recommendation strategies are applied. In this paper we evaluate and compare several recommendation algorithms on large-scale real life datasets: an adaptation of user-based collaborative filtering, a graph-based recommender built on top of the FolkRank algorithm, and simple methods based on counting tag occurences. We show that both FolkRank and Collaborative Filtering provide better results than non-personalized baseline methods. Moreover, since methods based on counting tag occurrences are computationally cheap, and thus usually preferable for real time scenarios, we discuss simple approaches for improving the performance of such methods. We show, how a simple recommender based on counting tags from users and resources can perform almost as good as the best recommender. }, address = {Amsterdam}, author = {Jäschke, Robert and Marinho, Leandro and Hotho, Andreas and Schmidt-Thieme, Lars and Stumme, Gerd}, doi = {10.3233/AIC-2008-0438}, editor = {Giunchiglia, Enrico}, interhash = {b2f1aba6829affc85d852ea93a8e39f7}, intrahash = {955bcf14f3272ba6eaf3dadbef6c0b10}, issn = {0921-7126}, journal = {AI Communications}, number = 4, pages = {231-247}, publisher = {IOS Press}, title = {Tag Recommendations in Social Bookmarking Systems}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.3233/AIC-2008-0438}, vgwort = {63}, volume = 21, year = 2008 } @inproceedings{1390423, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Song, Yang and Zhuang, Ziming and Li, Huajing and Zhao, Qiankun and Li, Jia and Lee, Wang-Chien and Giles, C.

The recommender system analyzes descriptions of products that the user browses or buys and automatically infers these semantic attributes to build a model of the user. This abstraction allows us to not only recommend other items in the same class of products that "match " the user model but also gives us the ability to understand the customer's "tastes " and recommend items across categories for which traditional collaborative filtering and contentbased systems are unsuitable.

Our optimization criterion for TF is motivated by a detailed analysis of the problem and of interpretation schemes for the observed data in tagging systems. In all, RTF directly optimizes for the actual problem using a correct interpretation of the data. We provide a gradient descent algorithm to solve our optimization problem.

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{jschke2011formal, address = {[Amsterdam]}, author = {Jäschke, Robert}, interhash = {dcb2cd1cd72ae45d77c4d8755d199405}, intrahash = {1ac91a922a872523de0ce8d4984e53a3}, isbn = {9781607507079 1607507072 9783898383325 3898383326}, pages = {--}, publisher = {IOS Press}, refid = {707172013}, title = {Formal concept analysis and tag recommendations in collaborative tagging systems}, url = {http://www.worldcat.org/search?qt=worldcat_org_all&q=9783898383325}, year = 2011 } @inproceedings{illig2009comparison, abstract = {Recommendation algorithms and multi-class classifiers can support users of social bookmarking systems in assigning tags to their bookmarks.

Therefore, most systems support their users by tag recommender components that recommend tags in a personalized way. The Discovery Challenges 2008 and 2009 of the European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECML PKDD) tackled the problem of tag recommendations in collaborative tagging systems. Researchers were invited to test their methods in a competition on datasets from the social bookmark and publication sharing system BibSonomy.

Recommender Systems are well known applications for increasing the level of relevant content over the “noise” that continuously grows as more and more content becomes available online.

While these meet individual needs and preferences, the considerable differences between personal tag vocabularies (personomies) impede services such as social search or customized tag recommendation. In this paper, we introduce a novel user-centric tag model that allows us to derive mappings between personal tag vocabularies and the corresponding folksonomies. Using these mappings, we can infer the meaning of user-assigned tags and can predict choices of tags a user may want to assign to new items.

(1) Social systems by their definition encourage interaction between users and both online content and other users, thus generating new sources of knowledge for recommender systems. Web 2.0 users explicitly provide personal information and implicitly express preferences through their interactions with others and the system (e.g. commenting, friending, rating, etc.).

(2) New application areas for recommender systems emerge with the popularity of the Social Web. Recommenders cannot only be used to sort and filter Web 2.0 and social network information, they can also support users in the information sharing process, e.g., by recommending suitable tags during folksonomy development.

(3) Recommender technology can assist Social Web systems through increasing adoption and participation and sustaining membership. Through targeted and timely intervention which stimulates traffic and interaction, recommender technology can play its role in sustaining the success of the Social Web.

(4) The Social Web also presents new challenges for recommender systems, such as the complicated nature of human-to-human interaction which comes into play when recommending people and can require more interactive and richer recommender systems user interfaces.

This choice is influenced by different factors, such as the social context, language, cultural background and especially personal taste. Although this task is omnipresent, little research has been conducted on the analysis and application of interrelations among given names from a data mining perspective. The present work tackles the problem of recommending given names, by firstly mining for inter-name relatedness in data from the Social Web. Based on these results, the name search engine "Nameling" was built, which attracted more than 35,000 users within less than six months, underpinning the relevance of the underlying recommendation task. The accruing usage data is then used for evaluating different state-of-the-art recommendation systems, as well our new \NR algorithm which we adopted from our previous work on folksonomies and which yields the best results, considering the trade-off between prediction accuracy and runtime performance as well as its ability to generate personalized recommendations. We also show, how the gathered inter-name relationships can be used for meaningful result diversification of PageRank-based recommendation systems. As all of the considered usage data is made publicly available, the present work establishes baseline results, encouraging other researchers to implement advanced recommendation systems for given names.}, author = {Mitzlaff, Folke and Stumme, Gerd}, interhash = {545658b6e337858f7865b51e46d1c7a6}, intrahash = {41f92650f0f7d78366febc1832cedba9}, note = {cite arxiv:1302.4412Comment: Baseline results for the ECML PKDD Discovery Challenge 2013}, title = {Recommending Given Names}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1302.4412}, year = 2013 } @article{landia2013deeper, abstract = {The information contained in social tagging systems is often modelled as a graph of connections between users, items and tags. Recommendation algorithms such as FolkRank, have the potential to leverage complex relationships in the data, corresponding to multiple hops in the graph. We present an in-depth analysis and evaluation of graph models for social tagging data and propose novel adaptations and extensions of FolkRank to improve tag recommendations. We highlight implicit assumptions made by the widely used folksonomy model, and propose an alternative and more accurate graph-representation of the data. Our extensions of FolkRank address the new item problem by incorporating content data into the algorithm, and significantly improve prediction results on unpruned datasets. Our adaptations address issues in the iterative weight spreading calculation that potentially hinder FolkRank's ability to leverage the deep graph as an information source. Moreover, we evaluate the benefit of considering each deeper level of the graph, and present important insights regarding the characteristics of social tagging data in general. Our results suggest that the base assumption made by conventional weight propagation methods, that closeness in the graph always implies a positive relationship, does not hold for the social tagging domain.}, author = {Landia, Nikolas and Doerfel, Stephan and Jäschke, Robert and Anand, Sarabjot Singh and Hotho, Andreas and Griffiths, Nathan}, interhash = {e8095b13630452ce3ecbae582f32f4bc}, intrahash = {e585a92994be476480545eb62d741642}, journal = {cs.IR}, title = {Deeper Into the Folksonomy Graph: FolkRank Adaptations and Extensions for Improved Tag Recommendations}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.1498}, volume = {1310.1498}, year = 2013 } @inproceedings{mueller2013recommendations, abstract = {With the rising popularity of smart mobile devices, sensor data-based applications have become more and more popular.

The procedure of recording, including the assignment of tags, has to be as easy-to-use as possible. We therefore discuss the application of tag recommender algorithms in this particular scenario. We show, that this task is fundamentally different from the well-known tag recommendation problem in folksonomies as users do no longer tag fix resources but rather sensory data and impressions. The scenario requires efficient recommender algorithms that are able to run on the mobile device, since Internet connectivity cannot be assumed to be available. Therefore, we evaluate the performance of several tag recommendation algorithms and discuss their applicability in the mobile sensing use-case.}, address = {Aachen, Germany}, author = {Mueller, Juergen and Doerfel, Stephan and Becker, Martin and Hotho, Andreas and Stumme, Gerd}, booktitle = {Recommender Systems and the Social Web Workshop at 7th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems, RecSys 2013, Hong Kong, China -- October 12-16, 2013.
