Abstract (EN)

With the increasing use of connected devices and IoT, users' contextual information is more and more available and used in different information systems. One of the domains where the use of contextual information is promising is that of recommendation. As a matter of fact, context-aware recommender systems (CARSs) have demonstrated that taking contextual information about users into account can improve the effectiveness of recommendation, by generating more relevant recommendations to the users in their specific contextual situation. In this paper we propose a new context representation and approach to integrate this kind of information into a recommender system. We make a strong representation of the context, based on the influence of context on ratings, calculated using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. We do a pre-filtering recommendation based on this representation. Our evaluations demonstrate that our approach can outperforms the state of the art.
