Recommender systems attempt to predict the needs of Web users and provide them with recommendations to personalize their online experience. In this paper, we propose a neuro-fuzzy approach for the extraction of a recommendation model from usage data encoding user navigational behaviors. Such model is expressed as a set of fuzzy rules which may be exploited to provide personalized link suggestions to the users visiting a Web site. In particular, a neuro-fuzzy network is trained using information about user categories to discover a set of fuzzy rules capturing the associations between user behavior models and relevance degrees of pages to be recommended. A comparison with other recommendation approaches shows the effectiveness of the proposed neuro-fuzzy approach in finding good recommendation rules.

Abstract

Recommender systems attempt to predict the needs of Web users and provide them with recommendations to personalize their online experience. In this paper, we propose a neuro-fuzzy approach for the extraction of a recommendation model from usage data encoding user navigational behaviors. Such model is expressed as a set of fuzzy rules which may be exploited to provide personalized link suggestions to the users visiting a Web site. In particular, a neuro-fuzzy network is trained using information about user categories to discover a set of fuzzy rules capturing the associations between user behavior models and relevance degrees of pages to be recommended. A comparison with other recommendation approaches shows the effectiveness of the proposed neuro-fuzzy approach in finding good recommendation rules.
