Objective: Tailored digital health programs can promote positive health-related lifestyle changes and have been shown to be (cost) effective in trials. However, such programs are used suboptimally. New approaches are needed to optimise the use of these programs. This paper illustrates the potential of recommender systems to support and enhance computer-tailored digital health interventions. The aim is threefold, to explore: (1) how recommender systems provide health recommendations, (2) to what extent recommender systems incorporate theoretical models and (3) how the use of recommender systems may enhance the usage of computer-tailored interventions.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted, using MEDLINE and ScienceDirect, to identify health recommender systems reported in studies between January 2007 and December 2017. Information was subsequently extracted to understand the potential benefits of recommender systems for computer-tailored digital health programs. Titles and abstracts of 1184 studies were screened for the full-text screening, in which two reviewers independently selected articles and systematically extracted data using a predefined extraction form.
Results: A total of 26 articles were included for data extraction. General characteristics were reported, with eight studies reporting hybrid filtering. A description of how each recommender system provides a recommendation is described; the majority of recommender systems used messages as recommendation. We identified the potential effects of recommender systems on efficiency, effectiveness, trustworthiness and enjoyment of the digital health program.
Conclusions: Incorporating a collaborative method with demographic filtering as a second step to knowledge-based filtering could potentially add value to traditional tailoring with regard to enhancing the user experience. This study illustrates how recommender systems, especially hybrid programs, may have the potential to bring tailored digital health forward.

The identification of potential effective drug candidates is a fundamental step in new drug discovery, with profound implications for pharmaceutical research and the healthcare sector. While many computational methods have been developed for such predictions and have yielded promising results, two challenges persist: (i) The cold start problem of new drugs, which increases the difficulty of prediction due to lack of historical data or prior knowledge. (ii) The vastness of the compound search space for potential drug candidates.

As technology develops, consumer behavior and how people search for what they want are constantly evolving. Online shopping has fundamentally changed the e-commerce industry. Although there are more products available than ever before, only a small portion of them are noticed; as a result, a few items gain disproportionate attention.

Background: Interpretability is a topical question in recommender systems, especially in healthcare applications. An interpretable classifier quantifies the importance of each input feature for the predicted item-user association in a non-ambiguous fashion.
Results: We introduce the novel Joint Embedding Learning-classifier for improved Interpretability (JELI).

Session-based recommendation systems (SBRS) are essential for enhancing the customer experience, improving sales and loyalty, and providing the possibility to discover products in dynamic and real-world scenarios without needing user history. Despite their importance, traditional or even current SBRS algorithms face limitations, notably the inability to capture complex item transitions within each session and the disregard for general patterns that can be derived from multiple sessions. This paper proposes a novel SBRS model, called Capsule GraphSAGE for Session-Based Recommendation (CapsGSR), that marries GraphSAGE's scalability and inductive learning capabilities with the Capsules network's abstraction levels by generating multiple integrations for each node from different perspectives.

This research focused on the efficient collection of experimental metal-organic framework (MOF) data from scientific literature to address the challenges of accessing hard-to-find data and improving the quality of information available for machine learning studies in materials science. Utilizing a chain of advanced large language models (LLMs), we developed a systematic approach to extract and organize MOF data into a structured format. Our methodology successfully compiled information from more than 40,000 research articles, creating a comprehensive and ready-to-use data set.
