A recommendation system for browsing digital libraries

ABSTRACT

In this paper, a recommendation system for browsing large multimedia repositories is presented. In particular a combination of image processing algorithms and user behavior features is designed, implemented and tested. Several experiments from a virtual museum scenario are carried out and discussed.
