Cold Start Problem

Most recommender systems are based on the familiar collaborative filtering algorithm to suggest items. Quite often, collaborative filtering algorithm fails in generating recommendations due to the lack of adequate user information resulting in new user cold start problem. The cold start problem is one among the prevailing issue in recommendation system where the system fails to render recommendations. To overcome the new user cold start issue, demographical information of the user is utilised as the user information source. Among the demographical information, the impact of the user gender is less explored when compared with other information like age, profession, region, etc. In this work, a genetic algorithm-influenced gender-based top-n recommender algorithm is proposed to address the new user cold start problem. The algorithm utilises the evolution concepts of the genetic algorithm to render top-n recommendations to a new user. The evaluation of the proposed algorithm using real world datasets proved that the algorithm has a better efficiency than the state of art approaches.

Firstly, this paper designs the process of personalized recommendation method based on knowledge graph, and constructs user interest model. Second, the traditional personalized recommendation algorithms are studied and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. Finally, this paper focuses on the combination of knowledge graph and collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm. They are effective to solve the problem where [Formula: see text] value is difficult to be determined in the clustering process of traditional collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm as well as data sparsity and cold start, utilizing the ample semantic relation in knowledge graph. If we use RDF data, which is distributed by the E and P (Exploration and Development) database based on the petroleum E and P, to verify the validity of the algorithm, the result shows that collaborative filtering algorithm based on knowledge graph can build the users’ potential intentions by knowledge graph. It is enlightening to query the information of users. In this way, it expands the mind of users to accomplish the goal of recommendation. In this paper, a collaborative filtering algorithm based on domain knowledge atlas is proposed. By using knowledge graph to effectively classify and describe domain knowledge, the problems are solved including clustering and the cold start in traditional collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm. The better recommendation effect has been achieved.

This paper explores and studies recommendation technologies based on content filtering and user collaborative filtering and proposes a hybrid recommendation algorithm based on content and user collaborative filtering. This method not only makes use of the advantages of content filtering but also can carry out similarity matching filtering for all items, especially when the items are not evaluated by any user, which can be filtered out and recommended to users, thus avoiding the problem of early level. At the same time, this method also takes advantage of the advantages of collaborative filtering. When the number of users and evaluation levels are large, the user rating data matrix of collaborative filtering prediction will become relatively dense, which can reduce the sparsity of the matrix and make collaborative filtering more accurate. In this way, the system performance will be greatly improved through the integration of the two. On the basis of the improved collaborative filtering algorithm, a hybrid algorithm based on content and improved collaborative filtering was proposed. By combining user rating with item features, a user feature rating matrix was established to replace the traditional user-item rating matrix. K-means clustering was performed on the user set and recommendations were made. The improved algorithm can solve the problem of data sparsity of traditional collaborative filtering algorithm. At the same time, for new projects, it can also predict users who may be interested in new projects according to the matching of project characteristics and user characteristics scoring matrix and generate push list, which effectively solve the problem of new projects in “cold start.” The experimental results show that the improved algorithm in this paper plays a significant role in solving the speed bottleneck problems of data sparsity, cold start, and online recommendation and can ensure a better recommendation quality.

The development of recommendation system comes with the research of data sparsity, cold start, scalability, and privacy protection problems. Even though many papers proposed different improved recommendation algorithms to solve those problems, there is still plenty of room for improvement. In the complex social network, we can take full advantage of dynamic information such as user’s hobby, social relationship, and historical log to improve the performance of recommendation system. In this paper, we proposed a new recommendation algorithm which is based on social user’s dynamic information to solve the cold start problem of traditional collaborative filtering algorithm and also considered the dynamic factors. The algorithm takes user’s response information, dynamic interest, and the classic similar measurement of collaborative filtering algorithm into account. Then, we compared the new proposed recommendation algorithm with the traditional user based collaborative filtering algorithm and also presented some of the findings from experiment. The results of experiment demonstrate that the new proposed algorithm has a better recommended performance than the collaborative filtering algorithm in cold start scenario.
