Descripció breu:
Conversational group recommender systems focus on identifying user’s individual preferences and then try to find a compromise that is fair and acceptable to all members of the group.  A static model of preferences is unrealistic.  In such recommender systems, there are social interactions and unexpected new information over time which may cause a person change her mind in an unforeseeable way.  In this project, we will investigate how to model user’s preferences in a group recommender system.
The thesis work will involve:

• Study of conversational group recommender systems.
• Modelling user preferences and group preferences.
• Development of the proposals inside a group recommender system.
• Generalisation to different domains.
• Evaluation and result analysis of the proposals.
