Abstract

A recommender system is an information filtering technology that can be used to recommend items that may be of interest to users. Additionally, there are the context-aware recommender systems that consider contextual information to generate the recommendations. Reviews can provide relevant information that can be used by recommender systems, including contextual and opinion information. In a previous work, we proposed a context-aware recommendation method based on text mining (CARM-TM). The method includes two techniques to extract context from reviews:CIET.5(embed), a technique based on word embeddings; andRulesContext, a technique based on association rules. In this work, we have extended our previous method by includingCEOM, a new technique which extracts context by using aspect-based opinions. We call our extension of CARM-TOM (context-aware recommendation method based on text and opinion mining). To generate recommendations, our method makes use of the CAMF algorithm, a context-aware recommender based on matrix factorization. To evaluate CARM-TOM, we ran an extensive set of experiments in a dataset about restaurants, comparing CARM-TOM against the MF algorithm, an uncontextual recommender system based on matrix factorization; and against a context extraction method proposed in literature. The empirical results strongly indicate that our method is able to improve a context-aware recommender system. (AU)
