Abstract

A geographically homogeneous group of citizens shares much common knowledge, characteristics of their culture and history. This knowledge is captured for the use in an item-based recommender system that uses textual information, by introducing bias corpora: newspaper articles that represent the shared knowledge. We present a technique for incorporating and quickly replacing bias corpora in a case study of recommendation of TV contents on our IPTV platform. With this recommender, users watched more items and expressed satisfaction with the service.
