Application of Artificial Immune System

However we can distinguish three basic recommendation approaches: demographic, contentbased and collaborative [7], they are using many different general reasoning methods know from many other disciplines such as Artificial Intelligence, Expert Systems or Information Retrieval. Recently, the recommender systems also adopt some nature inspired methods such as artificial immune system [4,7]. In the Biology, the immune system is defined as “the system of specialized cells and organs that protect an organism from outside biological influences” [12]. In the literature we can find some application of AIS for collaborative filtering [1]. We are going to develop, implement and verify hybrid recommendation method for layout, structure and content recommendation in the existing wiki-based system (for example Wikitravel or Wikinews) [12]. Besides AIS we are going to implement some consensus-based methods for content-based recommendation [8,9,10] and fuzzy inference rules for demographic filtering [7].
