Information Filtering deals with the problem of selecting relevant information for a given user, according to her/his preferences and interests. In this chapter, the authors consider two ways of performing information filtering: recommendation and contextual advertising. In particular, they study and analyze them according to a unified view. In fact, the task of suggesting an advertisement to a Web page can be viewed as the task of recommending an item (the advertisement) to a user (the Web page), and vice versa. Starting from this insight, the authors propose a content-based recommender system based on a generic solution for contextual advertising and a hybrid contextual advertising system based on a generic hybrid recommender system. Relevant case studies have been considered (i.e., a photo recommender and a Web advertiser) with the goal of highlighting how the proposed approach works in practice. In both cases, results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed solutions.

Abstract

Information Filtering deals with the problem of selecting relevant information for a given user, according to her/his preferences and interests. In this chapter, the authors consider two ways of performing information filtering: recommendation and contextual advertising. In particular, they study and analyze them according to a unified view. In fact, the task of suggesting an advertisement to a Web page can be viewed as the task of recommending an item (the advertisement) to a user (the Web page), and vice versa. Starting from this insight, the authors propose a content-based recommender system based on a generic solution for contextual advertising and a hybrid contextual advertising system based on a generic hybrid recommender system. Relevant case studies have been considered (i.e., a photo recommender and a Web advertiser) with the goal of highlighting how the proposed approach works in practice. In both cases, results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed solutions.
