@conference{189, author = {Joshua Dzitiro and Edgar Jembere and Anban Pillay}, title = {A DeepQA Based Real-Time Document Recommender System}, abstract = {Recommending relevant documents to users in real- time as they compose their own documents differs from the traditional task of recommending products to users. Variation in the users{\textquoteright} interests as they work on their documents can undermine the effectiveness of classical recommender system techniques that depend heavily on off-line data. This necessitates the use of real-time data gathered as the user is composing a document to determine which documents the user will most likely be interested in. Classical methodologies for evaluating recommender systems are not appropriate for this problem. This paper proposed a methodology for evaluating real-time document recommender system solutions. The proposed method- ology was then used to show that a solution that anticipates a user{\textquoteright}s interest and makes only high confidence recommendations performs better than a classical content-based filtering solution. The results obtained using the proposed methodology confirmed that there is a need for a new breed of recommender systems algorithms for real-time document recommender systems that can anticipate the user{\textquoteright}s interest and make only high confidence recommendations.}, year = {2018}, journal = {Southern Africa Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (SATNAC) 2018}, chapter = {304-309}, month = {02/09-05/09}, publisher = {SATNAC}, address = {South Africa}, }
