An Overview of Direct Diagnosis and Repair Techniques in the WeeVis Recommendation Environment

Constraint-based recommenders support users in the identification of items (products) fitting their wishes and needs. Example domains are financial services and electronic equipment. In this paper we show how divide-and-conquer based (direct) diagnosis algorithms (no conflict detection is needed) can be exploited in constraint-based recommendation scenarios. In this context, we provide an overview of the MediaWiki-based recommendation environment WeeVis.
