Application mobile pour l'évaluation d'un algorithme de calcul de distance entre des items musicaux
Abstract
Recommender systems are used to predict what a user might like in the future. In the
cultural field using those systems raises the question of diversity, novelty, and discovery. The
human being is fond of stability, but he is not against breaking his routine and explore things
out of his comfort zone. In this context we created a method, based on dissimilarity measure
between cultural items, which expands the cultural knowledge of users. We have been able to
delimit an intermediate zone between “too similar” and “too different”. We have developed
an application which allows us to test andvalidate this method. We explain the concept of
“intermediate zone”, wepresent the mobile application, its functionalities, and some tests we
carried out.
