  abstract = {Recommender systems attempt to match users’ preferences
with items. To achieve this, they typically store and process
a large amount of user profiles, item attributes, as well as an
ever-increasing volume of user-generated feedback about
those items. By mining user-generated data, such as reviews,
a complex network consisting of users, items, and item
properties can be created. Exploiting this network could
allow a recommender system to identify, with greater
accuracy, items that users are likely to find attractive based
on the attributes mentioned in their past reviews as well as
in those left by similar users. At the same time, allowing
users to visualize and explore the network could lead to
novel ways of interacting with recommender systems and
might play a role in increasing the trustworthiness of
recommendations. We report on a conceptual model for a
multimode network for hotel recommendations and discuss
potential interactive mechanisms that might be employed for
visualizing it.},

  abstract = {Personalization in recommender systems has typically been
 applied to the underlying algorithms. In contrast, the
 presentation of individual recommendations—specifically,
 the various ways in which it can be adapted to suit the
 user’s needs in a more effective manner—has received
 relatively little attention by comparison. We present the
 results of an exploratory survey about users’ choices
 regarding hotel recommendations and draw preliminary
 conclusions about whether these choices can influence the
 presentation of recommendations.},
