  • Recommendation System for an Android Launcher

    International Journal of Advance Research in Science and Engineering

    Abstract - An android launcher completely changes the experience of using a mobile phone. It is the part of an android user interface that lets users customize the home screen, launch mobile applications, make phone calls, and perform other tasks. Currently, launchers offer mainly customization that provides cosmetic features and very few operational functionalities that are used on a daily basis. This launcher aims to create a user modeling system that develops unique customized user profiles…

    Abstract - An android launcher completely changes the experience of using a mobile phone. It is the part of an android user interface that lets users customize the home screen, launch mobile applications, make phone calls, and perform other tasks. Currently, launchers offer mainly customization that provides cosmetic features and very few operational functionalities that are used on a daily basis. This launcher aims to create a user modeling system that develops unique customized user profiles based on their daily activities and offer them suggestions and smart notifications in the launcher itself based on the contextual data corresponding to tasks, interests, and habits.
    Wide linear models and deep feedforward neural networks combine the benefits of both memorization and generalization to learn a unique user profile and provide recommendations, but they suffer from a poor initial performance due to lack of sufficient data. This paper proposes a new model that integrates the Wide & Deep model with a Bayesian linear hierarchical model that can help learn a basic user profile, by borrowing information from other user profiles.
