'''''Serendipity in Context: Context-aware Recommendations of Serendipitous Items'''''

[-'''Abstract'''-]

When a person searches for a piece of information about a topic, she finds so
much information available that she hardly unearths web pages, books, papers,
articles, music, videos, etc. actually relevant to the searched topic. For instance,
most search engines on the Internet return thousands of results on every query,
while only a few of those results are really relevant for the searcher and they
are not always at the top of the returned list. Furthermore, what is relevant
and interesting for one searcher may not be relevant and interesting for another
searcher, even if they submit the same query.

The extensive options lead the user to feel that she looses control on handling
the amount of information and she becomes worried whether something
interesting or important is being missed. This problem is often referred to as
the information overload.

Recommender systems help to reduce information overload and provide customized
information access for targeted domains. Such systems take direct or
indirect input from users and, based on their needs, preferences and usage patterns,
provide personalized advices about products or services so that users are
assisted to filter useful information.

Recommender systems became an important research area since the appearance
of the first papers on collaborative filtering since the mid-1990s. There
has been much work done both in the industry and academia to develop and
to improve new approaches to recommendations over the last decade. The
interest in this area still remains high because it constitutes a problem-rich research
area and because of the plenty of practical applications that help users
to deal with the information overload and that provide them with personalized
recommendations, content and services. In addition, despite all the advances,
the current generation of recommender systems still requires further improvements
to make recommendation methods more effective and applicable to an
even broader range of real-life applications. These improvements include better
methods for representing the user behavior and the information about the items
to be recommended, more advanced recommendation modeling methods, and
exploitation of contextual information into the recommendation process.

For some approaches, such as the content-based one, the item representation
plays a key role, thus choosing proper facets to represent items is a fundamental
task for deploying effective recommender systems. Contextual facets are often
marginally relevant to learn and predict user preferences, but in some domains
disregarding contextual facets makes recommendations useless. Consequently
the thesis deals with the contextual dimension proposing a strategy to improve
the effectiveness of a content-based recommender system by the exploitation
of contextual facets. The demonstrative scenario concerns with the dynamic
suggestion of personalized tours within a museum: the contextual facets deal
with the physical layout of items and the interaction of users with the physical
environment.

The thesis also deals with the serendipitous dimension. Indeed, recommender
systems commonly recommend items that score highly against a user’s
profile and, consequently, the user is recommended for items similar to those
already rated. If this feature becomes a limitation, the recommender system
suffers of over-specialization and it damages the common expectations concern
with novelty and surprise. Indeed novelty occurs when the system suggests an
unknown item that the user might have autonomously discovered. On the other
hand, a serendipitous recommendation helps the user to find a surprisingly interesting
item that she might not have otherwise discovered (or it would have
been really hard to discover). Although the serendipity is a difficult concept
to research because it is by definition not particularly susceptible to systematic
control and prediction, the thesis deals with the serendipitous dimension,
proposing a strategy to mitigate the over-specialization exploiting the learned
user profiles.

Finally, the contextual dimension and serendipitous dimension are synergic.
Indeed, the contextual dimension is used to refine the selection of supposed
serendipitous items and to provide a practical interpretation of serendipity augmented
recommendation task. On the other hand, the serendipity dimension
allows to introduce an increased dynamicity in the contextual facets handling.
