Towards Context-Aware Recommendations of Multimedia in an Ambient Intelligence Environment

Given today's mobile and smart devices, and the ability to access different multimedia contents in real-time, it is difficult for users to find the right multimedia content from such a large number of choices. Users also consume diverse multimedia based on many contexts, with different personal preferences and settings. For these reasons, there is a need to reinforce recommendation process with context-adaptive information that can be used to select the right multimedia content and deliver the recommendations in preferred mechanisms. This paper proposes a framework to establish a bridge between the multimedia content, the user and joint preferences, contextual information including the physiological parameters, and the Ambient Intelligent (AmI) environment, using multi-modal recommendation interfaces.
