Abstract

In this paper we describe a collaborative filtering system for automatically recommending high-quality information to users with similar interests on arbitrarily narrow information domains. It asks a user to rate a gauge set of items. It then evaluates the user's ratings and suggests a recommendation set of items. We interpret the process of evaluation as an inference mechanism that maps a gauge set to a recommendation set. We accomplish the mapping with FAM (Fuzzy Associative Memory). We implemented the suggested system in a Web server and tested its performance in the domain of retrieval of technical papers, especially in the field of information technologies. The experimental results show that it may provide reliable recommendations.
