This thesis investigates the area of preference learning and recommender systems. We concentrated recommending on small e-commerce vendors and efficient usage of implicit feedback. In contrast to the most published studies, we focused on investigating multiple diverse implicit indicators of user preference and substantial part of the thesis aims on defining implicit feedback, models of its combination and aggregation and also algorithms employing them in preference learning and recommending tasks. Furthermore, a part of the thesis focuses on other challenges of deploying recommender systems on small e-commerce vendors such as which recommending algorithms should be used or how to employ third party data in order to improve recommendations. The proposed models, methods and algorithms were evaluated in both off-line and on-line experiments on real world datasets and on real e-commerce vendors respectively. Datasets are included to the thesis for the sake of validation and further research. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
