The magnitude of the daily explosion of high volumes of data has led to the emergence of the Big Data paradigm. The ever-increasing amount of information available on the Internet makes it increasingly difficult for individuals to find what they need quickly and easily. Recommendation systems have appeared as a solution to overcome this problem. Collaborative filtering is widely used in this type of systems, but high dimensions and data sparsity are always a main problem. With the idea of deep learning gaining more importance, several works have emerged to improve this type of filtering. In this article, a product recommendation system is proposed where an autoencoder based on a collaborative filtering method is employed. A comparison of this model with the Singular Value Decomposition is made and presented in the results section. Our experiment shows a very low Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) value, considering that the recommendations presented to the users are in line with their interests and are not affected by the data sparsity problem as the datasets are very sparse, 0.996. The results are quite promising achieving an RMSE value of 0.029 in the first dataset and 0.010 in the second one.

Most of the traditional recommendation systems are based on user ratings. Here, users provide the ratings towards the product after use or experiencing it. Accordingly, the user item transactional database is constructed for recommendation. The rating based collaborative filtering method is well known method for recommendation system. This system leads to data sparsity problem as the user is unaware of other similar items. Web cataloguing service such as tags plays a significant role to analyse the user’s perception towards a particular product. Some system use tags as additional resource to reduce the data sparsity issue. But these systems require lot of specific details related to the tags. Existing system either focuses on ratings or tags based recommendation to enhance the accuracy. So these systems suffer from data sparsity and efficiency problem that leads to ineffective recommendations accuracy. To address the above said issues, this paper proposed hybrid recommendation system (Iter_ALS Iterative Alternate Least Square) to enhance the recommendation accuracy by integrating rating and emotion tags. The rating score reveals overall perception of the item and emotion tags reflects user’s feelings. In the absence of emotional tags, scores found in rating is assumed as positive or negative emotional tag score. Lexicon based semantic analysis on emotion tags value is adopted to represent the exclusive value of tag. Unified value is represented into Iter_ALS model to reduce the sparsity problem. In addition, this method handles opinion bias between ratings and tags. Experiments were tested and verified using a benchmark project of MovieLens dataset. Initially this model was tested with different sparsity levels varied between 0%-100 percent and the results obtained from the experiments shows the proposed method outperforms with baseline methods. Further tests were conducted to authenticate how it handles opinion bias by users before recommending the item. The proposed method is more capable to be adopted in many real world applications

Recommender systems are becoming increasingly popular, and collaborative filtering method is one of the most important technologies in recommender systems. The ability of recommender systems to make correct predictions is fundamentally determined by the quality and fittingness of the collaborative filtering that implements them. It is currently mainly used for business purposes such as product recommendation. Collaborative filtering has two types. One is user based collaborative filtering using the similarity between users to predict and the other is item based collaborative filtering using the similarity between items. Although both of them are successfully applied in wide regions, they suffer from a fundamental problem of data sparsity. This paper gives a personalized collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm combining the item rating similarity and the item classification similarity. This method can alleviate the data sparsity problem in the recommender systems

Abstract: The recommendation problem involves the prediction of a set of items that maximize the utility for users. As a solution to this problem, a recommender system is an information filtering system that seeks to predict the rating given by a user to an item. There are theree types of recommendation systesms namely Content based, Collaborative based and the Hybrid based Recommendation systems. The collaborative filtering is further classified into the user based collaborative filtering and item based collaborative filtering. The collaborative filtering (CF) based recommendation systems are capable of grasping the interaction or correlation of users and items under consideration. We have explored most of the existing collaborative filteringbased research on a popular TMDB movie dataset. We found out that some key features were being ignored by most of the previous researches. Our work has given significant importance to 'movie overviews' available in the dataset. We experimented with typical statistical methods like TF-IDF , By using tf-idf the dimensions of our courps(overview and other text features) explodes, which creates problems ,we have tackled those problems using a dimensionality reduction technique named Singular Value Decomposition(SVD). After this preprocessing the Preprocessed data is being used in building the models. We have evaluated the performance of different machine learning algorithms like Random Forest and deep neural networks based BiLSTM. The experiment results provide a reliable model in terms of MAE(mean absolute error) ,RMSE(Root mean squared error) and the Bi-LSTM turns out to be a better model with an MAE of 0.65 and RMSE of 1.04 ,it generates more personalized movie recommendations compared to other models. Keywords: Recommender system, item-based collaborative filtering, Natural Language Processing, Deep learning.

In recommender systems, Collaborative Filtering (CF) plays an essential role in promoting recommendation services. The conventional CF approach has limitations, namely data sparsity and cold-start. The matrix decomposition approach is demonstrated to be one of the effective approaches used in developing recommendation systems. This paper presents a new approach that uses CF and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)[Formula: see text] for implementing a recommendation system. Therefore, this work is an attempt to extend the existing recommendation systems by (i) finding similarity between user and item from rating matrices using cosine similarity; (ii) predicting missing ratings using a matrix decomposition approach, and (iii) recommending top-N user-preferred items. The recommender system’s performance is evaluated considering Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). Performance evaluation is accomplished by comparing the systems developed using CF in combination with six different algorithms, namely SVD, SVD[Formula: see text], Co-Clustering, KNNBasic, KNNBaseline, and KNNWithMeans. We have experimented using MovieLens 100[Formula: see text]K, MovieLens 1[Formula: see text]M, and BookCrossing datasets. The results prove that the proposed approach gives a lesser error rate when cross-validation ([Formula: see text]) is performed. The experimental results show that the lowest error rate is achieved with MovieLens 100[Formula: see text]K dataset ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]). The proposed approach also alleviates the sparsity and cold-start problems and recommends the relevant items.

Recommendation systems (RSs) are an application of community detection, becoming more significant in our daily lives. They play a significant role in suggesting information to users such as products, services, friends and so on. A novel community driven collaborative recommendation system (CDCRS) has been proposed by the authors, in this particular paper. Furthermore, K means approach has been utilized to detect communities and extract the relationship among the users. The singular value decomposition method (SVD) is also applied. Issues of sparsity and scalability of the collaborative method are considered. Experiments were conducted on MovieLens datasets. Movie ratings were predicted and top-k recommendations for the user produced. The comparative study that was performed between the proposed as well as the collaborative filtering method dependent on SVD (CFSVD) as well as the results of experiments shows that CFSVD is outperformed by the proposed CDCRS method.

<span>Nowadays, recommendation systems are used successfully to provide items (example: movies, music, books, news, images) tailored to user preferences. Amongst the approaches existing to recommend adequate content, we use the collaborative filtering approach of finding the information that satisfies the user by using the reviews of other users. These reviews are stored in matrices that their sizes increase exponentially to predict whether an item is relevant or not. The evaluation shows that these systems provide unsatisfactory recommendations because of what we call the cold start factor. Our objective is to apply a hybrid approach to improve the quality of our recommendation system. The benefit of this approach is the fact that it does not require a new algorithm for calculating the predictions. We are going to apply two algorithms: k-nearest neighbours (KNN) and the matrix factorization algorithm of collaborative filtering which are based on the method of (singular-value-decomposition). Our combined model has a very high precision and the experiments show that our method can achieve better results.</span>

Recommendation system is a crucial part of offering items especially in services that offer streaming. For streaming movie services on OTT, RS are a helping hand for users in finding new movies for leisure. In this paper, we propose a machine learning an approach based on auto encoders to produce a CF system which outputs movie rating for a user based on a huge DB of ratings from other users. Utilising Movie Lens dataset, we explore the use of deep learning neural network based Stacked Auto encoders to predict user s ratings on new movies, thereby enabling movie recommendations. We consequently implement Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to recommend movies to users. The experimental result showcase that our R S out performs a user-based neighbourhood baseline in terms of MSE on predicted ratings and in a survey in which user judge between recommendation s from both systems.
