Abstract

In this paper, we propose the weighted Markov model for recommending the users' prefered contents in the environment with considering the users' transition of their content consumption mind according to the kind of contents providing in time. In general, TV viewers have an intention to consume again the preferred contents consumed in recent by them. In order to take into the consideration, we modify the preference transition matrix by providing weights to the consecutively consumed contents for recommending the users' preferred contents. We applied the proposed model to the recommendation of TV viewer's genre preference. The experimental result shows that our method is more efficient than the typical methods.

본 논문에서는 시간에 따라 다양한 컨텐츠를 제공하는 방송 환경에서 고객의 최근 시청 정보를 이용하여 바로 다음에 고객이 시청하기를 선호하는 컨텐츠를 추천하기 위한 방법으로 가중치 지용 Markov 모델을 제안한다. 일반적으로 TV 시청자들은 최근에 시청한 자신이 선호하는 컨텐츠를 다시 시청하는 성향이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 가중치 적용 Markov 모델은 TV 시청자들의 이와 같은 성향을 고려하여 고객이 연속적으로 시청한 정도에 따라 컨텐츠 선호도 전이 행렬에 가중치를 적용한다. 제안된 모델의 실험을 위해 고객으로부터 수집된 TV 시청 정보를 이용하여 고객의 선호 장르를 추천하는데 제안 모델을 적용하였다. 실험 결과 제안된 방법이 기존 방법에 비해 추천의 정확도가 향상되었음을 보인다.
