  • 1. Free University of Bozen - Bolzano

Description

STS dataset was collected by a context-aware recommender system mobile app named as "South Tyrol Suggests". The app provides context-aware recommendations for attractions, events, public services, restaurants, and much more based on the rating preferences and personality factors of users.

Contextual variables includes 

  • distance: far away, near by
  • time available: half day, one day, more than one day
  • temperature: burning, hot, warm, cool, cold, freezing
  • crowdedness: crowded, not crowded, empty
  • knowledge of surroundings: new to area, returning visitor, citizen of the area
  • season: spring, summer, autumn, winter
  • budget: budget traveler, price for quality, high spender
  • daytime: morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night
  • weather: clear sky, sunny, cloudy, rainy, thunderstorm, snowing
  • companion: alone, with friends/colleagues, with family, with girlfriend/boyfriend, with children
  • mood: happy, sad, active, lazy weekday: weekday, weekend
