Lightweight Approach to the Cold Start Problem in the Video Lecture Recommendation
Leo Iaquinta, Giovanni Maria Semeraro · 2011
In this paper we present our participation as SWAPTeam at the ECML/PKDD 2011 - Discovery challenge for the task on the cold start prob- lem focused on making recommendations for new video lectures. The main idea is to use a content-based approach because it is less sensitive to the cold start prob- lem that is commonly associated with pure collaborative filtering recommenders. The strategy for the integration by hybridization and the scalability performance affect the developed components.
