The objective of this project is the development of a next generation recommender systems for home multimedia content, specially designed for the Logitech Revue Box (Google TV). The overall goal is to design an integrated model (denoted NEMO), conceived like an experts system, capable to combine and to exploit different types of information (sources) and different types of (specialized) recommender systems.
