Composite Alternative Pareto Optimal Recommender System (CAPORS)

Abstract

We propose a methodology and present a system for generating composite alternative recommendations combining user-guided continuous improvement with Pareto optimal trade-off considerations. The system consists of (1) a model to generate the recommendation space; (2) metrics for measuring each recommendation; (3) an analytics function for computing composite alternative metrics and constraints; (4) system configuration settings; (5) an algorithm for calculating Pareto optimal curve of recommendations; (6) an algorithm for generating user-guided improvements using relaxed constraints; (6) charting functionality for plotting recommendations; (7) and a user interface for enabling users to accept or improve-upon selected recommendations.
