Housing fuzzy recommender system: A systematic literature review
Abstract
In recent years, significant attention has been paid to fuzzy recommender systems for housing, highlighting their ability to effectively handle the imprecision and uncertainty inherent in the real estate market. With the objective of improving the filtering of recommendations in the real estate sector, the PRISMA 2020 methodology was applied to perform new systematic reviews using its checklist on six academic databases from 1985 to 2024. RawGraph, Orange Data Minig, Jamovi and R software were used for document classification and data visualization. After classification, 1003 articles were obtained, of which 46.36% were in Scopus, and 57.82% were articles. At the end of the type, 50 articles were identified as primary, subjecting them to six research questions. It was found that 65% of the algorithms used fuzzy logic, 60% used spatial data, and 80% evaluated performance. The main difficulties were related to the integration of various sources of information. Although incorporating reclusive methods is anticipated in future systems, the need remains to address challenging areas to improve the overall performance of fuzzy recommender systems. The reviewed articles focus on enhancing fuzzy data-based recommendation systems by proposing flexible and less intrusive techniques. The significance of incorporating contextual information and exploring hybrid approaches is emphasized, along with the evaluation in real world environments, averaging artificial intelligence.
