Hi everyone, I have some non-release-related offtopic questions ;)
I've attended an interesting talk last week given by the CTO of moviepilot.de (a German movie recommendation platform). The talk included a concept which he called "context-aware" recommendations, which means that you not only recommend items that a user might like, but you also factor in the users current context. The example in the talk was that a romantic evening needs other movie recommendations than an evening with a couple of guys drinking beer.
I found this concept very appealing and I thought about whether and how this could be accomplished with our current recommender framework.
My idea would be to define some content-related rules like "a movie tagged with the category action is not suited for the context romantic evening" and use these rules to create some kind of context-aware Rescorer that only selects items matching the rules from all recommended items.
Would this be a viable approach? --sebastian
