The explosive growth of the Internet has increased the volume and complexity of available information, fact that can make decision-making inefficient. Recommendation or Recommender systems are software tools and techniques intended to help users in decision-making processes by suggesting products or services of potential interest. In this thesis a personalized recommender system is developed considering user preferences. Initially the theoretical framework of the recommendation problem is analyzed and current methodologies and approaches are reviewed. Then a methodological framework based on Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis is proposed. Specifically an aggregation-disaggregation approach is used for user modeling prior to the application of a collaborative filtering algorithm based on multi-criteria ratings. Finally in order to evaluate the system’s performance it was applied in the online hotel booking recommendations domain using a data set of hotel reviews from trip-advisor website.
