Abstract—Recommender systems are often used to provide useful recommendations for users. They use previous history of the users-items interactions, e.g. purchase history and/or users rating on items, to provide a suitable recommendation list for any target user. They may also use contextual information available about items and users. Collaborative filtering algorithm and its variants are the most successful recommendation algorithms that have been applied to many applications. Collaborative filtering method works by first finding the most similar users (or items) for a target user (or items), and then building the recommendation lists. There is no unique evaluation metric to assess the performance of recommendations systems, and one often choose the one most appropriate for the application in hand. This paper compares the performance of a number of well-known collaborative filtering algorithms on movie recommendation. To this end, a number of performance criteria are used to test the algorithms. The algorithms are ranked for each evaluation metric and a rank aggregation method is used to determine the wining algorithm. Our experiments show that the probabilistic matrix factorization has the top performance in this dataset, followed by item-based and user-based collaborative filtering. Non-negative matrix factorization and Slope 1 has the worst performance among the considered algorithms. Keywords—Social networks analysis and mining, big data, recommender systems, collaborative filtering.

In recent years, recommender systems became more and more common and area unit applied to a various vary of applications, thanks to development of things and its numerous varieties accessible, that leaves the users to settle on from bumper provided choices. Recommendations generally speed up searches and create it easier for users to access content that they're curious about, and conjointly surprise them with offers they'd haven't sought for. By victimisation filtering strategies for pre-processing the information, recommendations area unit provided either through collaborative filtering or through content-based Filtering. This recommender system recommends books supported the description and features. It identifies the similarity between the books supported its description. It conjointly considers the user previous history so as to advocate the identical book.

And Performance

Recommendation algorithm is the most core and key point in recommender systems, and plays a decisive role in type and performance evaluation. At present collaborative filtering recommendation not only is the most widely useful and successful recommend technology, but also is a promotion for the study of the whole recommender systems. The research on the recommender systems is coming into a focus and critical problem at home and abroad. Firstly, the latest development and research in the collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm are introduced. Secondly, the primary idea and difficulties faced with the algorithm are explained in detail. Some classical solutions are used to deal with the problems such as data sparseness, cold start and augmentability. Thirdly, the particular evaluation method of the algorithm is put forward and the developments of collaborative filtering algorithm are prospected.

Personalized Recommender System

Nowadays personalized recommendation algorithm of e-commerce can hardly meet the needs of users as an ever-increasing number of users and items in personalized recommender system has brought about sparsity of user-item rating matrix and the emergence of more and more new users has threatened recommender system quality. This paper puts forward a pre-filled collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on matrix factorization, pre-filling user-item matrixes by matrix factorization and building nearest-neighbor models according to new user profile information, thus mitigating the influence of matrix sparsity and new users and improving the accuracy of recommender system. The experimental results suggest that this algorithm is more precise and effective than the traditional one under the condition of extremely sparse user-item rating matrix.

User Trust

Increasing availability of information has furthered the need for recommender systems across a variety of domains. These systems are designed to tailor each user's information space to suit their particular information needs. Collaborative filtering is a successful and popular technique for producing recommendations based on similarities in users' tastes and opinions. Our work focusses on these similarities and the fact that current techniques for defining which users contribute to recommendation are in need of improvement. In this paper we propose the use of trustworthiness as an improvement to this situation. In particular, we define and empirically test a technique for eliciting trust values for each producer of a recommendation based on that user's history of contributions to recommendations. We compute a recommendation range to present to a target user. This is done by leveraging under/overestimate errors in users' past contributions in the recommendation process. We present three different models to compute this range. Our evaluation shows how this trust-based technique can be easily incorporated into a standard collaborative filtering algorithm and we define a fair comparison in which our technique outperforms a benchmark algorithm in predictive accuracy. We aim to show that the presentation of absolute rating predictions to users is more likely to reduce user trust in the recommendation system than presentation of a range of rating predictions. To evaluate the trust benefits resulting from the transparency of our recommendation range techniques, we carry out user-satisfaction trials on BoozerChoozer, a pub recommendation system. Our user-satisfaction results show that the recommendation range techniques perform up to twice as well as the benchmark.

Trust-aware recommender systems have received much attention recently for their abilities to capture the influence among connected users. However, they suffer from the efficiency issue due to large amount of data and time-consuming real-valued operations. Although existing discrete collaborative filtering may alleviate this issue to some extent, it is unable to accommodate social influence. In this paper we propose a discrete trust-aware matrix factorization (DTMF) model to take dual advantages of both social relations and discrete technique for fast recommendation. Specifically, we map the latent representation of users and items into a joint hamming space by recovering the rating and trust interactions between users and items. We adopt a sophisticated discrete coordinate descent (DCD) approach to optimize our proposed model. In addition, experiments on two real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of our approach against other state-of-the-art approaches in terms of ranking accuracy and efficiency.
