scholarly journals A Movie Recommender System using Ontology Based Semantic Similarity Measure

Continuous growth in information available on the Internet overwhelms the users during navigation. This information overload may result in users’ dissatisfaction which is undesirable. Users’ satisfaction is very important aspect in every domain. Recommender systems play a vital role in dealing with information overload problems. The recommender systems filter the huge information on the Internet to generate limited and personalized information to users. This helps in increasing users' satisfaction by retaining his/her interests during navigation. Pure Web usage data based recommender systems have been used from last few years. However, they lag in precise recommendations because of absence of domain knowledge. Further, the similarity measures play a vital role in recommendation process and hence affect the performance of the recommender systems. The performance of recommender systems can be enhanced through integration of domain knowledge with usage data. This paper presents an approach to movie recommender system that integrates domain knowledge with usage data. The ontology is used to represent domain knowledge. The proposed approach is based on a new ontology based semantic similarity measure. The experimental results prove that the recommendations’ quality andaccuracy of prediction can be enhanced through integration of ontological domain knowledge with Web usage data.

In recent years there is a drastic increase in information over the internet. Users get confused to find out best product on the internet of one’s interest. Here the recommender system helps to filter the information and gives relevant recommendations to users so that the user community can find the item(s) of their interest from huge collection of available data. But filtering information from the users reviews given for various items seems to be a challenging task for recommending the user interested things. In general similarities between the users are considered for recommendations in collaborative filtering techniques. This paper describes a new collaborative filtering technique called Adaptive Similarity Measure Model [ASMM] to identify similarity between users for the selection of unseen items. Out of all the available items most similarities would be sorted out by ASMM for recommendation which varies from user to user

Collaborative filtering is a popular approach in recommender Systems that helps users in identifying the items they may like in a wagon of items. Finding similarity among users with the available item ratings so as to predict rating(s) for unseen item(s) based on the preferences of likeminded users for the current user is a challenging problem. Traditional measures like Cosine similarity and Pearson correlation’s correlation exhibit some drawbacks in similarity calculation. This paper presents a new similarity measure which improves the performance of Recommender System. Experimental results on MovieLens dataset show that our proposed distance measure improves the quality of prediction. We present clustering results as an extension to validate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
