scholarly journals Recommendation System: Techniques, Evaluation and Limitations

For the benefits of the user in selecting items based on their interests, the recommendation technology is developed in different domains. A recommender system is one of the major techniques, that handles information overload problem of Information Retrieval by suggesting users with appropriate and relevant items. This paper surveys recommendation technology, the challenges and its solutions. Recommendation technology is applied in many areas like movies, videos, books, research papers, libraries, music, news, tourism, etc. This survey is useful for the further implementation and analysis of how users are adapting these technologies and how helpful it is for the user. This work also helps understand the different techniques of recommendation systems and how they can be evaluated.

Today the amount of information in the internet growth very rapidly and people need some instruments to find and access appropriate information. One of such tools is called recommendation system. Recommendation systems help to navigate quickly and receive necessary information. Many of us find it difficult to decide which movie to watch and so we decided to make a recommender system for us to better judge which movie we are more likely to love. In this project we are going to use Machine Learning Algorithms to recommend movies to users based on genres and user ratings. Recommendation system attempt to predict the preference or rating that a user would give to an item.

Current information recommendation systems obtain users’ preferences from Web browsing histories and activities such as purchase of products, and efficiently provide the users with their preferable information. In such a case, however, the same or similar information is always recommended, which is called filter bubble and it decreases the users’ satisfaction to the systems. If information recommendation systems could provide users with something surprising and useful as output information, the user’s satisfaction to the systems would drastically increase. Therefore, “serendipity” is paid attention to in this research. In this paper, a new information recommendation system using a concept-based information retrieval is proposed to provide the users with serendipitous information. In this system, concepts which describe features or roles of items are input instead of the items themselves, and information which can meet the concepts are output as candidates of serendipitous information. The serendipitous information is extracted from the output information using the criteria which are the indexes of serendipity defined in this research. Through the evaluation experiment, it is revealed that the proposed system achieves the accuracy of 70% for the serendipitous information determination and the accuracy of 100% for the information retrieval, which are satisfactory for this research purpose.

User satisfaction is the principle component in the prosperity of a recommender system to provide an exact recommendation within a rational amount of time. The recommendation system is an intelligent system that analyzes the large quantity of online data to predict the patterns. In this paper, various recommendation techniques are described as a literature survey and their classifications are explained based upon the attributes and characteristics required for the recommendation process. The categorization of the recommendation system hinge on the analysis of the research papers and identifies the areas of the future for the development of an intelligent system.

Research paper recommenders emerged over the last decade to ease finding publications relating to researchers’ area of interest. The challenge was not just to provide researchers with very rich publications at any time, any place and in any form but to also offer the right publication to the right researcher in the right way. Several approaches exist in handling paper recommender systems. However, these approaches assumed the availability of the whole contents of the recommending papers to be freely accessible, which is not always true due to factors such as copyright restrictions. This paper presents a collaborative approach for research paper recommender system. By leveraging the advantages of collab- orative filtering approach, we utilize the publicly available contextual metadata to infer the hidden associations that exist between research papers in order to personalize recommen- dations. The novelty of our proposed approach is that it provides personalized recommen- dations regardless of the research field and regardless of the user’s expertise. Using a publicly available dataset, our proposed approach has recorded a significant improvement over other baseline methods in measuring both the overall performance and the ability to return relevant and useful publications at the top of the recommendation list.

This chapter presents an associative classification-based recommendation system to support online customer decision-making when facing a huge amount of choices. Recommendation systems have been recently introduced to e-commerce sites in order to solve the information overload and mass confusion problem. This chapter applies knowledge discovery techniques to overcome the drawback of conventional approaches to recommendation systems. The framework of the associative classification-based recommendation system has been addressed in this chapter. The system analysis, design, and implementation issues in an Internet programming environment are also presented. Taking the advantage of accumulative knowledge from historical data, the efficiency and effectiveness of B2C e-commerce applications are improved.

Researchers still believe that the information filtering system/ collaborating system is a recommender system or a recommendation system. It is used to predict the "rating" or "preference" of a user to an item.  In other words, both predict rating or preference for an item or product on a specific platform. The aim of the paper is to extend the areas of the recommender system/recommendation systems. The basic task of the recommender system mainly is to predict or analyze items/product. If it is possible to include more products in the system, then obviously the system may be extended for other areas also. For example, Medicine is a product and doctors filter the particular medicine for the particular disease. In the medical diagnosis doctors prescribed a medicine and it a product. It depends on the disease of the user/patient so here doctor predicts a medicine or product just like an item is recommended in a recommender system. The main objective of the paper is to extend the Recommender System/Recommendation system in other fields so that the research works can be extended Social Science, Bio-medical Science and many other areas.

A tourist has time and budget limitations; hence, he needs to select points of interest (POIs) optimally. Since the available information about POIs is overloading, it is difficult for a tourist to select the most appreciate ones considering preferences. In this paper, a new travel recommender system is proposed to overcome information overload problem. A recommender system (RS) evaluates the overwhelming number of POIs and provides personalized recommendations to users based on their preferences. A content-based recommendation system is proposed, which uses the information about the user’s preferences and POIs and calculates a degree of similarity between them. It selects POIs, which have highest similarity with the user’s preferences. The proposed content-based recommender system is enhanced using the ontological information about tourism domain to represent both the user profile and the recommendable POIs. The proposed ontology-based recommendation process is performed in three steps including: ontology-based content analyzer, ontology-based profile learner, and ontology-based filtering component. User’s feedback adapts the user’s preferences using Spreading Activation (SA) strategy. It shows the proposed recommender system is effective and improves the overall performance of the traditional content-based 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.
