Sanghun Ju, Kyu‐Baek Hwang · 2009
Abstract. Social bookmarking is an effective way for sharing knowledge about a vast amount of resources on the World Wide Web. In many social bookmarking systems, users bookmark Web resources with a set of informal tags which they think are appropriate for describing them. Hence, automatic tag recommendation for social bookmarking systems could facilitate and boost the annotation process. For the tag recommendation task, we exploited three kinds of information sources, i.e., resource descriptions, previously annotated tags on the same resource, and previously annotated tags by the same person. A filtering method for removing inappropriate candidates and a weighting scheme for combining information from multiple sources were devised and deployed
