Quang Nhat NGUYEN is a lecturer and researcher in the School of Information and Communication Technology, Hanoi University of Technology. His research currently focuses on mobile recommender systems that suggest products and services personalized to mobile users' needs and preferences at their particular context.
He has designed and developed a mobile recommendation methodology that integrates long-term and session-specific user preferences, employs a case-based model of the on-the-go decision problem and solution, uses a composite query representation, and exploits a critique-based conversational approach. The recommendation methodology has been implemented in MobyRek, a mobile phone on-tour recommender system that assists mobile users in searching for their desired travel products (restaurant). A number of live-user and simulation tests have demonstrated that the recommendation methodology is a viable design solution for mobile recommender systems.
Designing an effective and usable mobile recommender system requires the proposed recommendation methodology to address challenging problems, such as elicitation of user preferences, building the system's initial guess of the user's preferences, system learning from the user interactions, visualization and explanation of system recommendations, push-based (proactive) mobile recommendations, mixed-initiative system-user dialogues, design of on-line and off-line tests of mobile recommender systems, etc. If you are interested in such problems, and mobile recommender systems in general, he expects to hear your ideas and have discussion on shared interests.
Quang Nhat NGUYEN has served as the workshop and publication chair of the international conference KSE 2011, the publicity chair of the international conference SoICT 2010, a program committee member of the international conferences UBICOMM 2011, STAIR 2011, UBICOMM 2010, KSE 2010, UBICOMM 2009, a reviewer of the international conferences ICCBR 2007 and ICMB 2005, a reviewer of Vietnam Journal of Information Technologies and Communications (English edition), and a reviewer of the book "Tourism Informatics: Visual Travel Recommender Systems, Social Communities and User Interface Design" (edited by N. Sharda, and published by IGI Global in 2009).
His current research interests include recommender systems, personalization, machine learning, and intelligent mobile services.
