Recommender System is the effective tools that are accomplished of recommending the future preference of a set of products to the consumer and to predict the most likelihood items. Today, customers has the ability to purchase or sell different items with advancement of e-commerce website, nevertheless it made complicate to investigate the majority of appropriate items suitable for the interest of the consumer from many items. Due to this scenario, recommender systems that can recommend items appropriate for user's interest and likings have become mandatory. In recent days, various recommendation methods are applied to resolve the data abundance setback in numerous application areas like movie recommendation, e-commerce, news recommendation, song recommendation and social media. Even if all the available current recommender systems are successful in generating reasonable predictions, these recommendation system still facing the issues like accuracy, cold-start, sparsity and scalability problem. Deep learning, the recently developed sub domain of machine learning technique is utilized in recommendation systems to enhance the feature of predicted output. Deep Learning is used to generate recommendations and the research challenges specific to recommendation systems when using Deep Learning are also presented. In this research, the basic terminologies, the fundamental concepts of Recommendation engine and a wide-ranging review of deep learning models utilized in Recommender Systems are presented.

In Russia, since 2011, the Yandex.News aggregator (Yandex.Novosti) — the Russian equivalent to Google News — has been suspected of political bias in the context of protests against electoral fraud followed by the Ukrainian crisis. This article first outlines the issues associated with automated news recommendation systems, their role as “algorithmic gatekeepers” and the questions they raise in terms of news diversity and possible manipulation. It then analyses the controversies which have developed around Yandex.News, particularly since the authorities have decided to regulate the way it operates through a law adopted in 2016. Finally, it provides an audit of Yandex.News aggregation in 2020, through a quantitative analysis of its database of sources and of the Top 5 results presented on the Yandex homepage. It shows the discrepancy between the diversity of the Russian online mediasphere and the narrowness of the Yandex.News media sample. This research contributes to the sociology of digital platforms and the study of “governance by algorithms”, showing how the Yandex news aggregator is a key asset in the Russian government’s overall disciplining of the country’s media and digital public sphere, in an ongoing effort to assert “digital sovereignty”.

This chapter introduces Collaborative filtering-based recommendation systems, which has become an integral part of E-commerce applications, as can be observed in sites like Amazon.com. It will present several techniques that are reported in the literature to make useful recommendations, and study their limitations. The chapter also lists the issues that are currently open and the future directions that may be explored to address those issues. Furthermore, the authors hope that understanding of these limitations and issues will help build recommendation systems that are of high accuracy and have few false positive errors (which are products that are recommended, though the user does not like them).

A news recommendation system not only must recommend the latest, trending and personalized news to the users but also give opportunity to know about the people’s opinion on trending news. Most of the existing news recommendation systems focus on recommending news articles based on user-specific tweets. In contrast to these recommendation systems, the proposed Personalized News and Tweet Recommendation System (PNTRS) recommends tweets based on the recommended article. It firstly generates news recommendation based on user’s interest and twitter profile using the Multinomial Naïve Bayes (MNB) classifier. Further, the system uses these recommended articles to recommend various trending tweets using fuzzy inference system. Additionally, feedback-based learning is applied to improve the efficiency of the proposed recommendation system. The user feedback rating is taken to evaluate the satisfaction level and it is 7.9 on the scale of 10.

The internet has reconstructed information boundaries in the modern world, and along with mobile internet has become the most important source of information for the public. Simultaneously, the internet has brought humanity into an era of information overload. In response to this information overload, recommendation systems backed by big data and smart algorithms have become highly popular on information platforms on the internet. There have already been many studies that attempted to improve and upgrade recommendation algorithms from a technical perspective, but the field lacks a comprehensive reflection on news recommendation algorithms. In our study, we summarize the principles and characteristics of current news recommendation algorithms and discuss “unexpected consequences” that might arise from these algorithms. In particular, technical bottlenecks include cold starts and data sparsity, and moral bottlenecks are presented in the form of information imbalance and manipulation. These problems may cause new recommendation systems to become a “warped mirror”.
