A Review on Hotel Recommendation System Using Deep Learning & Dempster-Shafer Theory

Context-aware recommender systems have been widely investigated in both academia and industry because they can make recommendations based on a user's current context (e.g., location, time). However, most existing context-aware techniques only use contextual information at the item level when modeling users' preferences, i.e., contextual information that correlates with users' overall evaluations of items such as ratings. Few studies have attempted to detect more finne-grained contextual preferences at the level of item aspects (e.g., a hotel's \ location, \ food quality, and \service). In this study, we use contextual weighting strategies to derive users' aspect-level context-dependent preferences from user-generated textual reviews. The inferred context-dependent preferences are then combined with users' context-independent preferences that are also inferred from reviews to react their stable requirements over time.
