Preference Mining: A Novel Approach on Mining User Preferences for Personalized Applications

  • Advanced personalized e-applications require comprehensive knowledge about their user’s likes and dislikes in order to provide individual product recommendations, personal customer advice and custom-tailored product offers. In our approach we model such preferences as strict partial orders with “A is better than B” semantics, which has been proven to be very suitable in various e-applications. In this paper we present novel Preference Mining techniques for detecting strict partial order preferences in user log data. The main advantage of our approach is the semantic expressiveness of the Preference Mining results. Experimental evaluations prove the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithms. Since the Preference Mining implementation uses sophisticated SQL statements to execute all data-intensive operations on database layer, our algorithms scale well even for large log data sets.
