Using Social Media for Personalizing the Cultural Heritage Experience

Abstract

This article presents a personalized recommendation approach of textual and multimedia resources related to artistic and cultural points of interest (POIs). This approach exploits linked open data to retrieve content related to POIs and social media to personalize their recommendation to the target user. The similarity evaluation between the social user profile and the related material occurs based on the classic doc2vec model. A preliminary comparative analysis conducted on 20 real users showed encouraging experimental results in terms of perceived accuracy and beyond-accuracy metrics.
