Abstract

Searching for accommodation in Dublin's fast-moving rental market can be a difficult and frustrating process. Ideally, the accommodation seeker would have access to a support system that could consolidate available rental information, recommend suitable properties, and always be at hand with the most current information. This paper describes the fully implemented DubLet system to provide just such support. DubLet is an application that employs core CBR methods to recommend rental properties drawn from a number of online sources using Information Extraction techniques. User interaction is provided both via web-browser and via WAP mobile phone. The paper gives an overview of the DubLet system implementation, presents an evaluation of the extraction and recommendation methods, and describes future system directions.
