Recommender systems are currently a relevant tool for facilitating access for online users, to information items in search spaces overloaded with possible options. With this goal in mind, they have been used in diverse domains such as e-commerce, e-learning, e-tourism, e-health, etc. Specifically, in the case of the e-health scenario, the computer science community has been focused on building recommender systems tools for supporting personalized nutrition by delivering user-tailored foods and menu recommendations, incorporating the health-aware dimension to a larger or lesser extent. However, it has been also identified the lack of a comprehensive analysis of the recent advances specifically focused on food recommendations for the domain of diabetic patients. This topic is particularly relevant, considering that in 2021 it was estimated that 537 million adults were living with diabetes, being unhealthy diets a major risk factor that leads to such an issue. This paper is centered on presenting a survey of food recommender systems for diabetic patients, supported by the PRISMA 2020 framework, and focused on characterizing the strengths and weaknesses of the research developed in this direction. The paper also introduces future directions that can be followed in the next future, for guaranteeing progress in this necessary research area.

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).

A Novel session-based recommendation system using capsule graph neural network.

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.
