Problem Statement CSP600

This document discusses the need for a more personalized book recommendation system mobile app. Current apps mostly filter by genre or author, but a new app would allow users to filter books by multiple characteristics like author, genre, and number of pages. This would help users more easily find books that match their specific interests. The proposed app would be developed for mobile, recommend fictional novels, and offer a more user-friendly search experience to save users time finding books they would enjoy.

Problem Statement: Lack of Personalization in Current Widely Used Book

Recommendation System

The idea is to create an app that offer more personalization for user to allow a
more accurate recommendation of book. While there’s already a lot of book
recommender app where you can search for a book, most of them lacks depth since
all they filter is genre or author, for example Goodreads that only allows around two
keywords at the same time.

(Rathnavel, 2017) in her article stated that due to the growth of data regarding
books from years to years, it is getting much more consuming to filter them out. But
this problem could be solved by the combination of various types of filters and
physical improvement of systems. Parts of numerous computations may also be
implemented offline in order to accelerate the recommendations.

Why do we need a better book recommender? According to (Wani et al.,


2017), With the advancement E- commerce, people are moving from retail shops to
online store. On E-commerce, availability of numerous options makes the finding of
most suitable item a hefty task, so recommendation. With that said, it is important not
to only move forward from traditional library to online book finder, but to also develop
a fast and good system.

Project Scope

- System is developed for mobile phone.


- System is developed in English.
- Book is multi-filtered based on authors’ name, genre, and number of pages
that users prefer to read.
- Focuses on fictional books, like novels.
Project Objective

- To identify what is lacking on the current book recommender apps


- To develop a system that is user-friendly and can be used in mobile phone
while also fixes the weakness of current recommender systems.
- To allow users to choose multiple book characteristic at the same time to
narrow the search.

Project Significance

- It create an apps that allows app users to search a very specific books type
and characteristic that they wanted.
- It benefits user by saving time when searching for something they would like.
With the amount of books that exist in database, if you only use 1 filter there
must still be a lot of unrelated books that got suggested.
