Abstract

Recommender systems are information search and decision support tools used when there is an overwhelming set of options to consider or when the user lacks the domain-specific knowledge necessary to take autonomous decisions. They provide users with personalized recommendations adapted to their needs and preferences in a particular usage context. In this paper, we present an approach for integrating recommendation and electronic map technologies to build a map-based conversational mobile recommender system that can effectively and intuitively support users in finding their desired products and services. The results of our real-user study show that integrating map-based visualization and interaction in mobile recommender systems improves the system recommendation effectiveness and increases the user satisfaction.
