Abstract

Collaborative filtering (CF) has been widely used as a filtering technique because it is not necessary to apply more complicated content analysis. However, it is difficult to take users’ preferences/criteria related to the aspects of a product/hotel into account. This paper presents a method of hotel recommendation that incorporates different aspects of a product/hotel to improve quality of the score. We used the results of aspect-based sentiment analysis for guest preferences. The empirical evaluation using Rakuten Japanese travel data showed that aspect-based sentiment analysis improves overall performance. Moreover, we found that it is effective for finding hotels that have never been stayed at but share the same neighborhoods.
