ABSTRACT
Collaborative filtering recommendations were designed primarily for individual user models and recommendations. However, nowadays more and more scenarios evolve, in which the recommended items are consumed by groups of users rather than by individuals. This raises the need to uncover the most appropriate group-based collaborative filtering recommendation strategy. In this work we investigate the use of aggregated group data in collaborative filtering recipe recommendations. We present results of a study that exploits recipe ratings provided by families of users, in order to evaluate the accuracy of several group recommendation strategies and weighting models, and analyze the impact of switching strategies, data aggregation heuristics, and group characteristics on the performance of recommendations.

Group recommendations with rank aggregation and collaborative filtering
RecSys '10: Proceedings of the fourth ACM conference on Recommender systemsThe majority of recommender systems are designed to make recommendations for individual users. However, in some circumstances the items to be selected are not intended for personal usage but for a group; e.g., a DVD could be watched by a group of ...
Hybrid group recommendations for a travel service
Recommendation techniques have proven their usefulness as a tool to cope with the information overload problem in many classical domains such as movies, books, and music. Additional challenges for recommender systems emerge in the domain of tourism such ...
A study on the role of uninterested items in group recommendations
AbstractWith the increase in the availability of network connectivity, e-commerce has grown rapidly. User products and reviews have grown multi-folds for these online markets, leading to the web’s data explosion. A recommender system overcomes this ...
