Context-aware collaborative filtering system: predicting the user's preferences in ubiquitous computing

ABSTRACT

In this paper I propose a context-aware collaborative filtering system that can predict a user's preference in different context situations based on past user-experiences. The system uses what other like-minded users have done in similar context to predict a user's preference towards an item in the current context.
