Abstract

In this paper we propose a novel framework for Recommender Systems that uses weighted tagging and Natural Language Processing techniques to tag, rate, cluster and recommend items. The system is able to cluster items in a dynamic hierarchical fashion allowing for on the fly user-tailored clustering of items. It is also able to automatically extract tags and ratings from item descriptions. It is inherently Context Aware since it uses Natural Language Processing techniques and targeted for Assistive Environments, whether as part of a companion (a dialogue system whose purpose is to accompany the user) or as a standalone system that will recommend books, movies, activities, medication and others in an easy to use intuitive way.
