    Dynamic and temporal user profiling for personalized recommenders using heterogeneous data sources
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) S. Krishnan, G.S.; Kamath S․, S.
    In modern Web applications, the process of user-profiling provides a way to capture user-specific information, which then serves as a source for designing personalized user experiences. Currently, such information about a particular user is available from multiple online sources/services, like social media applications, professional/social networking sites, location based service providers or even from simple Web-pages. The nature of this data being truly heterogeneous, high in volume and also highly dynamic over time, the problem of collecting these data artifacts from disparate sources, to enable complete user-profiling can be challenging. In this paper, we present an approach to dynamically build a structured user profile, that emphasizes the temporal nature to capture dynamic user behavior. The user profile is compiled from multiple, heterogeneous data sources which capture dynamic user actions over time, to capture changing preferences accurately. Natural language processing techniques, machine learning and concepts of the semantic Web were used for capturing relevant user data and implement the proposed '3D User Profile'. Our technique also supports the representation of the generated user profiles as structured data so that other personalized recommendation systems and Semantic Web/Linked Open Data applications can consume them for providing intelligent, personalized services. © 2017 IEEE.

    Machine Learning Models with Optimization for Clothing Recommendation from Personal Wardrobe
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Jain, M.; Singh, S.; Chandrasekaran, K.; Rathnamma, M.V.; Ramana, V.
    In the present-day scenario, several clothing recommender systems have been developed for the online e-commerce industry. However, when it comes to recommending clothes that a person already possesses, i.e, from their personal wardrobe, there are very few systems that have been proposed to perform the task. In this paper, we tackle the latter issue, and perform experimental analysis of the various Machine Learning techniques that can be used for carrying out the task. Since the recommendations must be made from a user's personal wardrobe, the recommender system doesn't follow a traditional approach. This is explained in detail in the following sections. Further, the paper contains a complete description of the results obtained from the experiments conducted, and the best approach is specified, with appropriate justification for the same. © 2020 IEEE.
