  • Collaborative filtering(CF) for the personalized recommendation is a successful and popular method in recommender systems. But the mainly researched and implemented cases focus on dealing with independent items with explicit feedback by users. For the domain of TV program recommendation in VOD service platform, we need to consider the unique characteristic and constraints of the domain. In this paper, we studied on the way to convert the viewing history of each TV program episodes to the TV program preference by considering the series structure of TV program. The former is implicit for personalized preference, but the latter tells quite explicitly about the persistent preference. Collaborative filtering is done by the unit of series while data gathering and final recommendation is done by the unit of episodes. As a result, we modified CF to make it more suitable for the domain of TV program VOD recommendation. Our experimental study shows that it is more precise in performance, yet more compact in calculation compared to the plain CF approaches. It can be combined with other existing CF techniques as an algorithm module.

  • With the advent of multi-channel TV, IPTV and smart TV services, excessive amounts of TV program contents become available at users' sides, which makes it very difficult for TV viewers to easily find and consume their preferred TV programs. Therefore, the service of automatic TV recommendation is an important issue for TV users for future intelligent TV services, which allows to improve access to their preferred TV contents. In this paper, we present a recommendation model based on statistical machine learning using a collaborative filtering concept by taking in account both public and personal preferences on TV program contents. For this, users' preference on TV programs is modeled as a latent topic variable using LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) which is recently applied in various application domains. To apply LDA for TV recommendation appropriately, TV viewers's interested topics is regarded as latent topics in LDA, and asymmetric Dirichlet distribution is applied on the LDA which can reveal the diversity of the TV viewers' interests on topics based on the analysis of the real TV usage history data. The experimental results show that the proposed LDA based TV recommendation method yields average 66.5% with top 5 ranked TV programs in weekly recommendation, average 77.9% precision in bimonthly recommendation with top 5 ranked TV programs for the TV usage history data of similar taste user groups.

  • With advent of TV environment and increasing of variety of program contents, users are able to experience more various and complex environment for watching TV contents. According to the change of content watching environment, users have to make more efforts to choose his/her interested TV program contents or TV channels than before. Also, the users usually watch the TV program contents with their own regular way. So, in this paper, we suggests personalized TV program schedule recommendation system based on the analyzing users' TV watching history data. And we extract the users' watched program patterns using the sequential pattern mining method. Also, we proposed a new sequential pattern mining which is suitable for TV watching environment and verify our proposed method have better performance than existing sequential pattern mining method in our application area. In the future, we will consider a VoD characteristic for extending to IPTV program schedule recommendation system.

  • TV는 타 도메인과 달리, 사전에 정해진 시간에 콘텐츠가 방영된다. 그러므로 TV 프로그램 추천 시스템은 시청자의 현재 시각(time-context)을 고려해야 한다. 시간 기반의 TV 프로그램 추천 방법이 다수 연구되었지만, 대부분의 기존 연구는 특정 시간대(timeslot)에서의 시청자의 선호도를 계산하는 데에만 집중되어 있고, 시청 내역 전체기간에서의 선호도를 고려하지 않은 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 시청자의 지역 선호도와 전역 선호도를 모두 고려한 시간 기반의 TV 프로그램 추천기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 제안 방법에서는 시간대의 길이에 따라 여러 가지 선호도 모델을 사용한다. 여러 개의 선호도 모델로부터 산출된 선호도를 병합하여 가장 선호도가 높은 TV 프로그램을 추천한다. 실 데이터를 이용한 실험을 통해 기준방식과 비교함으로써, 제안 방법의 효용성을 검증하였다.

  • As a number of TV programs broadcast today, researches about TV program recommender system have been studied and many researchers have been studying recommender system to produce recommendation with high accuracy. Recommender system recommends TV program to user by using metadata like genre, plot or calculating users' preferences about TV programs. In this paper, we propose a new TV program Collaborative Filtering Recommender System that exploits viewing time pattern like viewing ratio, relation with finish time and recently viewing history to calculate preference for high-quality of recommendation. To verify usefulness of our research, we also compare our method which utilizes viewing time patterns and baseline which simply recommends TV program of user's most frequently watched channel. Through this experiments, we show that our method very effectively works and recommendation performance increases.

  • Conventional TV viewing environment had provided limited numbers of channels and contents so that accessibility of contents was made user's manual change of TV channels and by manual selection of TV program contents. However, with advent of IPTV and various contents and channels available to users’ terminals, excessive numbers of TV contents become available to users’ terminals, thus leading to totally different TV viewing environments. In this TV environment, users are required to make much effort to choose their preferred TV channels or program contents, which becomes much cumbersome to the users. Therefore, in this paper, we will propose TV contents schedule recommendation by making reasoning on users’ TV viewing patterns from TV viewing history data using sequential pattern mining so that so that it increases accessibility of users to many TV program contents which may be or may not be aware of the users.

  • The number of channels are increased into several hundreds of channels when coming out the digital broadcasting era. In this environment, viewers searching for programs will be very difficult to do. In addition, recent popularization of smart devices are receiving the services that they previously had not been given to. A TV program recommended a system that has been studied as a way to solve these problems. However, most studies have been studied in most web-based research results when applied to broadcast TV for TV program recommendations. In particular, the combination of the current members who watch TV are not considered. In this paper, the environment and TV viewers are considering a combination of the members of the TV program's recommended system proposal. In order to make a group deal successful, we employ the face recognition.

  • As broadcasting and communication are converged recently, communication is jointed to TV. TV viewing has brought about many changes. The IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) provides information service, movie contents, broadcast, etc. through internet with live programs + VOD (Video on demand) jointed. Using communication network, it becomes an issue of new business. In addition, new technical issues have been created by imaging technology for the service, networking technology without video cuts, security technologies to protect copyright, etc. Through this IPTV network, users can watch their desired programs when they want. However, IPTV has difficulties in search approach, menu approach, or finding programs. Menu approach spends a lot of time in approaching programs desired. Search approach can't be found when title, genre, name of actors, etc. are not known. In addition, inserting letters through remote control have problems. However, the bigger problem is that many times users are not usually ware of the services they use. Thus, to resolve difficulties when selecting VOD service in IPTV, a personalized service is recommended, which enhance users' satisfaction and use your time, efficiently. This paper provides appropriate programs which are fit to individuals not to save time in order to solve IPTV's shortcomings through filtering and recommendation-related system. The proposed recommendation system collects TV program information, the user's preferred program genres and detailed genre, channel, watching program, and information on viewing time based on individual records of watching IPTV. To look for these kinds of similarities, similarities can be compared by using ontology for TV programs. The reason to use these is because the distance of program can be measured by the similarity comparison. TV program ontology we are using is one extracted from TV-Anytime metadata which represents semantic nature. Also, ontology expresses the contents and features in figures. Through world net, vocabulary similarity is determined. All the words described on the programs are expanded into upper and lower classes for word similarity decision. The average of described key words was measured. The criterion of distance calculated ties similar programs through K-medoids dividing method. K-medoids dividing method is a dividing way to divide classified groups into ones with similar characteristics. This K-medoids method sets K-unit representative objects. Here, distance from representative object sets temporary distance and colonize it. Through algorithm, when the initial n-unit objects are tried to be divided into K-units. The optimal object must be found through repeated trials after selecting representative object temporarily. Through this course, similar programs must be colonized. Selecting programs through group analysis, weight should be given to the recommendation. The way to provide weight with recommendation is as the follows. When each group recommends programs, similar programs near representative objects will be recommended to users. The formula to calculate the distance is same as measure similar distance. It will be a basic figure which determines the rankings of recommended programs. Weight is used to calculate the number of watching lists. As the more programs are, the higher weight will be loaded. This is defined as cluster weight. Through this, sub-TV programs which are representative of the groups must be selected. The final TV programs ranks must be determined. However, the group-representative TV programs include errors. Therefore, weights must be added to TV program viewing preference. They must determine the finalranks.Based on this, our customers prefer proposed to recommend contents. So, based on the proposed method this paper suggested, experiment was carried out in controlled environment. Through experiment, the superiority of the proposed method is shown, compared to existing ways.

  • 추천 시스템의 대표적인 연구 중 하나인 콘텐츠 기반 추천 시스템 연구는 TV 프로그램이나 영화의 줄거리, 장르, 리뷰 등의 콘텐츠의 메타데이터를 이용한다. 그러나 이러한 연구들은 콘텐츠 관련 정보에만 의존할 뿐, 시청자의 프로파일과 콘텐츠의 정보를 함께 고려하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 시청자의 프로파일 중 연령과 콘텐츠의 정보인 프로그램의 줄거리를 활용한 TV 프로그램 추천 시스템을 제안한다. 본 추천 시스템은 시청자를 연령에 따라 분류한 후, LDA 알고리즘을 이용하여 시청자의 시청 TV 프로그램의 줄거리를 분류된 나이에 따라 각각의 줄거리 토픽 모델로 생성한다. 이를 기준으로 시청자가 원하는 시간대에 방송되는 프로그램들의 줄거리 토픽벡터와 시청자의 선호도 토픽벡터의 유사도를 비교해 가장 유사도가 높은 TV 프로그램을 시청자에게 추천하는 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 연구의 효용성을 검증하기 위해 줄거리만을 사용한 경우와 줄거리와 연령을 동시에 활용한 경우를 비교 실험하였다. 실험을 통해 프로그램의 줄거리만을 사용한 경우보다 연령을 동시에 활용한 경우의 추천 시스템 성능이 개선된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
