Abstract
The proliferation of TV channels requires the viewer to invest substantial effort in searching for interesting programs. TV watching is ussually a family event requiring from a recommendation system to represent the individual preferences of the family members and identify them for recommending the preferred programs. This work deals with the representation and adaptation of family member preferences without the need for user identification. The Family Interactive TV system (FIT) filter TV programs according to the different viewers preferences. FIT constructs stereotype groups, in order to create an adaptive programming guide. Implicit relevance feedback is assessed through the actual program the viewer has chosen for watching. FIT checks its prediction and updates the stereotype preferences accordingly. We evaluated FIT predictions by comparing it with two other algorithms. Simulation results indicate that FIT performance is close to the system that asks for user identification, and considerably outperforms the random system.
