•Content
based filtering recommends items based on a comparison between the content of
the two items and a user profile. Each item is represented as a set of
descriptors or terms which is usually the words or keywords.
•The
user profile is represented with the same terms and built up by analysing the
content of items which have been seen by the user.
•Several
issues have to be considered when implementing this system. First, terms can
either be assigned automatically or manually. When terms are assigned
automatically a method has to be chosen that can extract these terms from
items.
•Second,
the terms have to be represented such that both the user profile and the items
can be compared in a meaningful way.
•Third,
a learning algorithm has to be chosen that is able to learn the user profile
based on seen items and can make recommendations based on this user profile.
