Sticking with a Winning Team: Better Neighbour Selection for Conversational Collaborative Recommendation
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 05:20 authored by Rafter, R, Coyle, Lorcan, Nixon, Paddy, Smyth, BarryConversational recommender systems have recently emerged as useful alternative strategies to their single-shot counterpart, especially given their ability to expose a user's current preferences. These systems use conversational feedback to hone in on the most suitable item for recommendation by improving the mechanism that finds useful collaborators. We propose a novel architecture for performing recommendation that incorporates information about the individual performance of neighbours during a recommendation session, into the neighbour retrieval mechanism. We present our architecture and a set of preliminary evaluation results that suggest there is some merit to our approach. We examine these results and discuss what they mean for future research.
