Naming the Theoretical Framework

For your cyclical theoretical framework, a more formal and descriptive name would enhance its academic presentation. Here are some appropriate naming options:

Recommended Framework Name:

"Collaborative Filtering Feedback Loop Model for Travel Planning"

This would be an excellent name for Figure 1.1 in your research document, as it precisely describes both the methodology (collaborative filtering) and the cyclical nature (feedback loop) of your system.

Alternative Academic Names:

1. "Iterative Travel Recommendation Cycle"
2. "Continuous Improvement Model for Personalized Travel Planning"
3. "User-Centered Collaborative Filtering Framework"
4. "TravelPlanner Adaptive Recommendation Cycle"
5. "Cyclical User Preference Learning Model"

When referencing this in your document, you could use:

This naming convention clearly communicates to readers that your theoretical framework represents a continuous process where user feedback drives system improvement, which is central to how collaborative filtering algorithms evolve and refine their recommendations over time.

The name also positions your work within established theoretical traditions while highlighting the innovative application to travel planning specifically.

Here's a cleaner version of the Collaborative Filtering Feedback Loop Model with the same flow but a more organized presentation:

Collaborative Filtering Feedback Loop Model for Travel Planning

This refined diagram maintains the same cyclical flow while providing a cleaner, more professional presentation suitable for academic documentation:

1. User Preferences: Initial input of travel preferences, constraints, and goals
2. Filtering Algorithm: Application of collaborative filtering to process user data
3. Personalized Recommendations: Generation of tailored travel suggestions
4. Travel Planning: User interaction with the recommended options
5. User Feedback: Collection of explicit ratings and implicit behavioral data

The solid arrows represent the primary flow through the system, while the dotted arrow shows how user feedback ultimately refines the understanding of user preferences, completing the cycle.

This cleaner presentation makes the theoretical framework more accessible while maintaining the essential cyclical nature that captures how TravelPlanner continuously improves through user interactions and feedback.
