Presentation

KIWI aims at increasing the quality of online services (intranet, e-commerce, etc.) brought to an identified or non-identified user. We focus on how to improve interactions between mass market users and e-access to pertinent items (documents, products, web sites, etc.). Our goal consists in providing each user with items likely to interest him, given his specific context or profile. One way to perform service personalization is to use recommender systems, which is KIWI’s main concern.
