Using user contextual profile for recommendation in collaborations

Abstract

Nowadays, many digital technologies are developed to support collaboration and facilitate its efficiency. When using them, users will leave contextual information explicitly and implicitly, which could contribute to identifying users’ situations and thus enabling systems to generate corresponding recommendations. In the framework of collaborations, we are interested in considering user context with user contextual profile to suggest appropriate collaborators. In this article, we present the user contextual profile that we established and how it can be used to generate recommendations for collaborations in digital environments.
