Books Recommender System via Linked Open Data
Maleček, Ladislav ; Peška, Ladislav (advisor) ; Škoda, Petr (referee)
This thesis focuses on using recommender system's methods on Linked Open Data in a domain of books. After thorough analysis of multiple available Linked Open Data sets, we have concluded that data sets of sufficient size and quality already exist. Together with careful analysis of the structure and quality of the data, recommender system web application has been developed based on retrieved data from a Wikidata endpoint. The application design allows an incorporation of data from multiple sources. A novel approach for generating recommendations utilizing multi language tags extracted from Wikipedia was used. We have shown that it is possible and viable to use recommender systems on top of the Linked Open Data, but the common recommender system's algorithms have to be modified in order to deal with a huge amount of sparsity in the data.

Recommender systems - models, methods, experiments
Peška, Ladislav ; Vojtáš, Peter (advisor) ; Jannach, Dietmar (referee) ; Krátký, Michal (referee)
This thesis investigates the area of preference learning and recommender systems. We concentrated recommending on small e-commerce vendors and efficient usage of implicit feedback. In contrast to the most published studies, we focused on investigating multiple diverse implicit indicators of user preference and substantial part of the thesis aims on defining implicit feedback, models of its combination and aggregation and also algorithms employing them in preference learning and recommending tasks. Furthermore, a part of the thesis focuses on other challenges of deploying recommender systems on small e-commerce vendors such as which recommending algorithms should be used or how to employ third party data in order to improve recommendations. The proposed models, methods and algorithms were evaluated in both off-line and on-line experiments on real world datasets and on real e-commerce vendors respectively. Datasets are included to the thesis for the sake of validation and further research. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Content based Recommendation from Explicit Ratings
Ferenc, Matej ; Vojtáš, Peter (advisor) ; Peška, Ladislav (referee)
In the thesis we compare several models for prediction of user preferences. The focus is mainly on Content Based models which work with metadata about objects that are recommended. These models are compared with other models which do not use metadata for recommendation. We use three datasets and three metrics to get the results of recommendation. The goal of the thesis is to find out how can the metadata about the users and the objects enhance the standard recommender models. However, the result is that the metadata can enhance recommendation in some cases, but it varies by used metrics and dataset. This enhancement is not significant.

Content-based recommender systems
Michalko, Maria ; Peška, Ladislav (advisor) ; Vojtáš, Peter (referee)
This work deals with the issue of poviding recommendations for individual users of e-shop based on the obtained user preferences. The work includes an overview of existing recommender systems, their methods of getting user preferences, the methods of using objects' content and recommender algorithms. An integral part of this work is design and implementated for independent software component for Content-based recommendation. Component is able to receive various user preferences and various forms of object's input data. The component also contains various processing methods for implicit feedback and various methods for making recommendations. Component is written in the Java programming language and uses a PostgreSQL database. The thesis also includes experiments that was carried out with usage of component designed on datasets slantour.cz and antikvariat-ichtys.cz e-shops.

Using customer preferences in property market
Strnad, Radek ; Kopecký, Michal (advisor) ; Peška, Ladislav (referee)
In recent years the market share of major real estate companies, at least the Czech ones, has not changed much. Statistical data don't reflect any significal upward trend in volumes of properties for rent or sale. In case the real estate company would like to access larger market share, they have to secure a competitive advantage over the others. One of the ways how to attract more potential customers might be speeding up the company website's property search process. In many cases the website visitors are facing hundreds or thousands of property offers before finding couple satisfactories. The aim of the thesis is to explore possibilities of applicating customer preferences in property trading. The focus is put on research of recommender system algorithms, their characteristics and limtations. The author is evaluating usage of each algorithm variant and its suitability for a real world deployment in a real estate area. Apart from the theoretical part of the work one can find a part, where real estate information system is extended with a framework for implementing recommendation system algorithms. The author is in possesion of production data of a medium sized real estate company. He uses the recommender system framework to build and evaluate example algorithm. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Univerzální doporučovací systém
Cvengroš, Petr ; Vojtáš, Peter (advisor) ; Dědek, Jan (referee)
Recommender systems are programs that aim to present items like songs or books that are likely to be interesting for a user. These systems have become increasingly popular and are intensively studied by research groups all over the world. In web systems, like e-shops or community servers there are usually multiple data sources we can use for recommending, as user and item attributes, user-item rating or implicit feedback from user behaviour. In the thesis, we present a concept of a Universal Recommender System (Unresyst) that can use these data sources and is domain-independent at the same time. We propose how Unresyst can be used. From the contemporary methods of recommending, we choose a knowledge based algorithm combined with collaborative filtering as the most appropriate algorithm for Unresyst. We analyze data sources in various systems and generalize them to be domain-independent. We design the architecture of Unresyst, describe its interfaces and methods for processing the data sources. We adapt Unresyst to three real-world data sets, evaluate the recommendation accuracy results and compare them to a contemporary collaborative filtering recommender. The comparison shows that combining multiple data sources can improve the accuracy of collaborative filtering algorithms and can be used in systems where...

User preferences in the domain of web shops
Peška, Ladislav ; Vojtáš, Peter (advisor) ; Eckhardt, Alan (referee)
The goal of the thesis is first to find available information about user preferences, user feedback and their acquisition, processing, storing etc. The collected information is then used for making suggestions / advices for the creating an recommender system for the web shops (with special emphasis on implicit feedback). The following chapters introduces UPComp - our solution of the recommender system for the web shops. The UPComp is written in the programming language PHP and uses MySQL database. The thesis also includes testing of the UPComp on real-user web shop sites slantour.cz and antikvariat-ichtys.cz.

Web Application of Recommender System
Hlaváček, Pavel ; Bartík, Vladimír (referee) ; Zendulka, Jaroslav (advisor)
This thesis deals with problems of recommender systems and their usage in web applications. There are three main data mining techniques summarized and individual approaches for recommendation. Main part of this thesis is a suggestion and an implementation of web applications for recommending dishes from restaurants. Algorithm for food recommending is designed and implemented in this paper. The algorithm deals with the problem of frequently changing items. The algorithm utilizes hybrid filtering technique which is based on content and knowledge. This filtering technique uses cosine vector similarity for computation.

Web Application of Recommender System
Koníček, Igor ; Bartík, Vladimír (referee) ; Zendulka, Jaroslav (advisor)
This master's thesis describes creation of recommender system that is used in real server cbdb.cz. A~fully operational recommender system was developed using collaborative and content-based filtering techniques. Thanks to many user feedback, we were able to evaluate their opinion. Many recommended books were tagged as desirable. This thesis is extending current functionality of cbdb.cz with recommender system. This system uses its extensive database of ratings, users and books.
