In this thesis, a top-N recommendation system in TV domain is proposed using learning to rank. The design, development and evaluation of the proposed recommender system are described in detail. Instead of calculating rating score of items like in conventional recommender systems, the ranked recommendation item list is presented to TV users. Moreover, path-based features which are used to build ranking model is explained in detail. These features provide collaborative filtering, content-based filtering and context aware recommendation system. Furthermore, some state of the art learning to rank approaches from each category called as pointwise, pairwise and listwise have been experimented to generate a ranking model. Then a baseline which does not use any learning are compared with the one using learning to rank algorithm. It is shown that the model constructed with learning to rank algorithm gives better results.

Assessing the influence of e-commerce item recommender systems on user continuance intention for future use of recommender system
Shahmanzari, Masoud; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2013)
In recent years, there are several research studies on initial adaptation of information systems using recommender agents. This study, however, investigates the post-adaption behavior of users of such systems. As online e-commerce service websites are attracting users, existence of a recommender technology plays a substantial role in encouraging users to continue using system by helping them to discover and find items which they may interested and subsequently prefer to purchase. Researchers found that acqu...
A recommendation framework using ontological user
Yaman, Çağla; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2011)
In this thesis, a content recommendation system has been developed. The system makes recommendations based on the preferences of the users on some aspects of the content and also preferences of similar users. The preferences of a user are extracted from the choices of that user made in the past. Similarities between users are defined by the similarities of their preferences. Such a system requires both qualified content and user information. The proposed system uses semantic user and content profiles to mor...
A framework for ranking and categorizing medical documents
Al Zamıl, Mohammed GH. I.; Betin Can, Aysu; Department of Information Systems (2010)
In this dissertation, we present a framework to enhance the retrieval, ranking, and categorization of text documents in medical domain. The contributions of this study are the introduction of a similarity model to retrieve and rank medical textdocuments and the introduction of rule-based categorization method based on lexical syntactic patterns features. We formulate the similarity model by combining three features to model the relationship among document and construct a document network. We aim to rank ret...
A Graph-based core model and a hybrid recommender system for TV users
Taşcı, Arda; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2015)
This thesis proposes a core model to represent user profiles in a graph-based environment which can be the base of different recommender system approaches as well as other cutting edge applications for TV domain. The proposed graph-based core model is explained in detail with node types, properties and edge weight metrics. The capabilities of this core model are described in detail. Moreover, in this thesis, a hybrid recommender system based on this core model is presented with its design, development and e...
A Hypergraph based framework for representing aggregated user profiles, employing it for a recommender system and personalized search through a hypernetwork method
Tarakçı, Hilal; Manguoğlu, Murat; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2017)
In this thesis, we present a hypergraph based user modeling framework to aggregate partial profiles of the individual and obtain a complete, semantically enriched, multi-domain user model. We also show that the constructed user model can be used to support different personalization services including recommendation. We evaluated the user model against datasets consisting of user's social accounts including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Stack Overflow. The evaluation results confirmed that the proposed use...
