The 3A Contextual Ranking System: Simultaneously Recommending Actors, Assets, and Group Activities

In this paper, we propose a personalized and contextual ranking algorithm implemented on top of the 3A interaction model. The latter is a generic model intended for designing and describing social and collaborative learning platforms integrating Actors, Assets and group Activities (the 3 “A”). The target user’s interactions with his/her environment are modeled in a heterogeneous graph. Then, the algorithm is applied to simultaneously rank actors, assets and group activities taking into account the target user’s context. As an illustrative application and a preliminary evaluation, we apply the algorithm on data related to the activities carried out in a European Research Project, especially the collaboration between its members through the joint production of deliverables in workpackages.
