On recommendation problems beyond points of interest

作者:

Highlights:

• We model query relaxation and adjust recommendation in the context of recommendation systems.

• We study two decision problems to decide whether query relaxations or adjustments to the data can be made to obtain recommendations.

• We examine the impact of various parameters on the complexity of these decision problems.

• Matching upper and lower bounds are established for the general case and a variety of special cases, both for data and combined complexity.
