Chinese and Vietnamese have the same isolated language; that is, the words are not delimited by spaces. In machine translation, word segmentation is often done first when translating from Chinese or Vietnamese into different languages (typically English) and vice versa. However, it is a matter for consideration that words may or may not be segmented when translating between two languages in which spaces are not used between words, such as Chinese and Vietnamese. Since Chinese-Vietnamese is a low-resource language pair, the sparse data problem is evident in the translation system of this language pair. Therefore, while translating, whether it should be segmented or not becomes more important. In this paper, we propose a new method for translating Chinese to Vietnamese based on a combination of the advantages of character level and word level translation. In addition, a hybrid approach that combines statistics and rules is used to translate on the word level. And at the character level, a statistical translation is used. The experimental results showed that our method improved the performance of machine translation over that of character or word level translation.

In this chapter, we discuss personalisation of advertisements in the digital TV environment and propose an effective personalisation approach, taking into account unique domain requirements. The proposed approach combines the widely used Pearson-based collaborative filtering technique, applied on numerical ratings with the user’s lifestyle, a stable characteristic drawn from consumer behaviour theory. We claim that users with similar lifestyles are reliable neighbours and can be utilised for the recommendation of advertisements for any member of their lifestyle neighbourhood. We focus on an inherent limitation of collaborative filtering methods that occurs when few ratings are available for each user and demonstrate that the proposed approach effectively manages this problem. Indeed, the hybrid approach combines the ability of the Pearson-based approach to accommodate rapid changes in user needs and make predictions upon one-click interactions and the advantage of the lifestyle-based approach to handle sparse data, which significantly affects the performance of collaborative filtering prediction methods.


The term Recommender system is described as any organization that provides personalized suggestions as a result and it effects the user in the individualized way to favorable items from the large number of opinions. The voluminous inflation of the reachable data online and also the number of users have lead to the information overload problem. To overcome this problem the recommender system came into play as it is able to prioritize and personalize the data. Recommendation systems have developed alongside with the net. Recommender system has mainly three data filtering methods such as content based filtering technique, collaborative based filtering technique and the hybrid approach to manage the data overload problem and to recommends the items to the user the items they are interested in from the dynamically generated data. This paper makes a comprehensive introduction to the recommender system with its types, content based filtering , collaborative filtering and the hybrid recommendation.

Online shopping needs a computer machine to serve product information sale for customer or buyer candidate. Relevant information served by ecommerce system famous called recommender system. The successful to applied, it will have impact to increase of marketing target achievement. The character of information served by recommender system have to be special, personalized, relevant and fit according customer profiling. There are four kind of recommender system model, however there is one model that was successful to be applied in real ecommerce industry that popular named collaborative filtering. Collaborative filtering approach need a record users or customers activity in the past to generate recommendation for example rating record, purchasing record, testimony about product.  The majority collaborative filtering approaches rely on rating as fundamental computation to calculate product recommendation. However, just a little number of consumers who willing give rating for products less than a percent, according to several convince datasets such MovieLens. This problem causes of sparse product rating that will impact to product recommendation accuracy level. Sometime, in extreme condition, it is impossible to generate product recommendation. Several efforts have been conducting to handle product sparse rating, however they fail to generate product recommendation accurately when face extreme sparse data, such as matrix factorization family include SVD, NMF, SVD++. This research aims to develop a model to handle users sparse rating involving deep SDAE. One of the efforts to produce better output in handling this data sparse, our strategy is to imputing missing value by statistical method so that the input in SDAE is closer to the feasibility of data that is not too sparse. According to our experiment involve deep learning, TensorFlow, MovieLens datasets, evaluation method by root mean square error (RMSE), our approach involves reducing input missing value could address users sparse rating and increase robustness over several existing approach.

In daily life user searched the many things over the internet on the basis of requirement with the help of search engines. Recommendation systems are widely used on the internet to help the user in discover the products or services that are best with their individual interest. RS effectively reduce the information overload by providing personalized suggestions to user when searching for items like movies, songs, or books etc. The main aim of RS is to help the users by providing the surface of information that relevant to them, fulfill their needs and their task. The paper provides an overview of RS and analyze the different approaches used for develop RS that include collaborative filtering, content-based filtering and hybrid approach of recommender system.

Recommender systems are essential engines to deliver product recommendations for e-commerce businesses. Successful adoption of recommender systems could significantly influence the growth of marketing targets. Collaborative filtering is a type of recommender system model that uses customers’ activities in the past, such as ratings. Unfortunately, the number of ratings collected from customers is sparse, amounting to less than 4%. The latent factor model is a kind of collaborative filtering that involves matrix factorization to generate rating predictions. However, using only matrix factorization would result in an inaccurate recommendation. Several models include product review documents to increase the effectiveness of their rating prediction. Most of them use methods such as TF-IDF and LDA to interpret product review documents. However, traditional models such as LDA and TF-IDF face some shortcomings, in that they show a less contextual understanding of the document. This research integrated matrix factorization and novel models to interpret and understand product review documents using LSTM and word embedding. According to the experiment report, this model significantly outperformed the traditional latent factor model by more than 16% on an average and achieved 1% on an average based on RMSE evaluation metrics, compared to the previous best performance. Contextual insight of the product review document is an important aspect to improve performance in a sparse rating matrix. In the future work, generating contextual insight using bidirectional word sequential is required to increase the performance of e-commerce recommender systems with sparse data issues.
