    Combining usage and content in an online music recommendation system for music in the long-tail
    ( 2012) Alípio Jorge ; José Paulo Leal ; 4981 ; 5125
    In this paper we propose a hybrid music recommender system, which combines usage and content data. We describe an online evaluation experiment performed in real time on a commercial music web site, specialised in content from the very long tail of music content. We compare it against two stand-alone recommenders, the first system based on usage and the second one based on content data. The results show that the proposed hybrid recommender shows advantages with respect to usage- and content-based systems, namely, higher user absolute acceptance rate, higher user activity rate and higher user loyalty.

    A platform to support web site adaptation and monitoring of its effects: A case study
    ( 2008) Alípio Jorge ; José Paulo Leal ; Carlos Manuel Soares ; 4981 ; 5125 ; 5001
    In this paper we describe a platform that enables Web site automation and monitoring. The platform automatically gathers high quality site activity data, both from the server and client sides. Web adapters, such as rec-ommender systems, can be easily plugged into the platform, and take advantage of the up-to-date activity data. The platform also includes a module to support the editor of the site to monitor and assess the effects of automation. We illustrate the features of the platform on a case study, where we show how it can be used to gather information not only to model the behavior of users but also the impact of the personalization mechanism.

    A study of machine learning methods for detecting user interest during web sessions
    ( 2014) Alípio Jorge ; José Paulo Leal ; 4981 ; 5125
    The ability to have an automated real time detection of user interest during a web session is very appealing and can be very useful for a number of web intelligence applications. Low level interaction events associated with user interest manifestations form the basis of user interest models. However such data sets present a number of challenges from a machine learning perspective, including the level of noise in the data and class imbalance (given that the majority of content will not be of interest to a user). In this paper we evaluate a large number of machine learning techniques aimed at learning from class imbalanced data using two data sets collected from a real user study. We use the AUC, recall, precision and model complexity to compare the relative merits of these techniques and conclude that useful models with AUC above 0.8 can be obtained using a mix of sampling and cost based methods. Ensemble models can provide further accuracy but make deployment more complex.
