Rana Chamsi Abu Quba, Salima Hassas, Usama Fayyad, Hammam Chamsi, Christine Gertosio · 2014
Many works have shown that combining social networks with recommender systems increases the precision of the recommendation. Intelligent Social Network Transformer into Recommendation Engine (iSoNTRE) is a generic engine, which is based on the transformation of social networks into a source which feeds recommendation systems. It aims to transform the implicit actions of users on items and links in social networks into classifications of concepts. Recommendation systems in general and recommendations on social networks in particular use explicit classifications of users. This chapter presents the latest developments and works related to the issue, and also presents the contribution: iSoNTRE, for which the author explains the components. Collaborative Filtering (CF) is a widely used and studied method for making recommendations. The chapter provides a presentation of the experiments carried out and their results.
