Traditional recommender systems tend to focus on e-commerce applications, recommending products to users from a large catalog of available items. The goal has been to increase sales by tapping into the user's interests by utilizing information from various data sources to make relevant recommendations. Education, government, and policy websites face parallel challenges, except the product is information and their users may not be aware of what is relevant and what isn't. Given a large, knowledge-dense website and a nonexpert user searching for information, making relevant recommendations becomes a significant challenge. This paper addresses the problem of providing recommendations to non-experts, helping them understand what they need to know, as opposed to what is popular among other users. The approach is usersensitive in that it adopts a ‘model of learning' whereby the user's context is dynamically interpreted as they browse and then leveraging that information to improve our recommendations. |
