ABSTRACT

In order to overcome the ‘semantic gap’ which is the limitation of the traditional keyword-matching- methods and to expand users’ intellectual horizons, this study proposed a contextual book recommendation model based on SBERT while actively introducing customized book recommendation services that acquire information quickly and easily. Utilizing 6,376 refined book records from the ‘Library Information Naru’ national integrated loan big data, a model implemented an effective semantic search architecture by embedding book summaries into high-dimensional vectors and utilizing a vector database(ChromaDB). Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed model achieved a Knowledge Expansion Ratio of 45.6% according to the KDC. In particular, comparative experiments with the TF-IDF model and semantic verification verified that the proposed system effectively suppresses ‘Pseudo-Expansion’-contextless recommendations arising from simple word overlaps-while facilitating intellectual leaps into diverse academic fields with semantic consistency. By securing a practical balance between recommendation precision and serendipity, this study practically mitigates the ‘filter bubble’ effect. Ultimately, this study will establish a technical foundation for supporting the core mission of public libraries fostering intellectual growth and broadening users’ exploratory boundaries.
