It is always important that the student should choose the right course. The decision of taking the right course is very important as the student’s future depends on the course they opt to study. Most of the students are not much aware of the courses that are available in their own field of study. Selecting wrong courses might be due to the mismatch between the student’s aptitude, training and mental ability. Thus, the idea is to develop a system for helping the students to choose a course which would be best suited for him/her based on features like previous student selection, interest, languages known etc. Existing research has explored recommender system using content-based filtering but it can only do limited content analysis and the recommendation will not be precise at the end. An attempt is made to improve the performance of this system using Collaborative based filtering techniques which will recommend a ranked list of courses. Under Collaborative filtering techniques, user based collaborative filtering and item based collaborative filtering is used. Sample student datasets from Kaggle, has been used to test the performance of our system.

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.

Instructors recommend learning materials to a class of students not minding the learning ability and reading habit of each student. Learners are finding it problematic to make a decision about which available learning materials best meet their situation and will be beneficial to their course of study. In order to address this challenge, a new e-learning material recommender system that is able to recommend quality items to learners individually is required. The aim of this work is to develop a Personalized Recommender System that switches between Content-based and Collaborative filtering techniques, with an objective to design an algorithm to recommend electronic library materials, as well as personalize recommendations to both new and existing users. Experiments were conducted with evaluations showing that the recommender system was most effective when content-based filtering and collaborative filtering were used to recommend items for new users and existing users respectively, and still achieve personalization.

Abstract: Here we are building an collaborative filtering matrix factorization based hybrid recommender system to recommend movies to users based on the sentiment generated from twitter tweets and other vectors generated by the user in their previous activities. To calculate sentiment data has been collected from twitter using developer APIs and scrapping techniques later these are cleaned, stemming, lemetized and generated sentiment values. These values are merged with the movie data taken and create the main data frame.The traditional approaches like collaborative filtering and content-based filtering have limitations like it requires previous user activities for performing recommendations. To reduce this dependency hybrid is used which combines both collaborative and content based filtering techniques with the sentiment generated above. Keywords: machine learning, natural language processing, movie lens data, root mean square equation, matrix factorization, recommenders system, sentiment analysis

Background: A recommender system captures the user preferences and behaviour to provide a relevant recommendation to the user. In a hybrid model-based recommender system, it requires a pre-trained data model to generate recommendations for a user. Ontology helps to represent the semantic information and relationships to model the expressivity and linkage among the data. Methods: We enhanced the matrix factorization model accuracy by utilizing ontology to enrich the information of the user-item matrix by integrating the item-based and user-based collaborative filtering techniques. In particular, the combination of enriched data, which consists of semantic similarity together with rating pattern, will help to reduce the cold start problem in the model-based recommender system. When the new user or item first coming into the system, we have the user demographic or item profile that linked to our ontology. Thus, semantic similarity can be calculated during the item-based and user-based collaborating filtering process. The item-based and user-based filtering process are used to predict the unknown rating of the original matrix. Results: Experimental evaluations have been carried out on the MovieLens 100k dataset to demonstrate the accuracy rate of our proposed approach as compared to the baseline method using (i) Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and (ii) combination of item-based collaborative filtering technique with SVD. Experimental results demonstrated that our proposed method has reduced the data sparsity from 0.9542% to 0.8435%. In addition, it also indicated that our proposed method has achieved better accuracy with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.9298, as compared to the baseline method (RMSE: 0.9642) and the existing method (RMSE: 0.9492). Conclusions: Our proposed method enhanced the dataset information by integrating user-based and item-based collaborative filtering techniques. The experiment results shows that our system has reduced the data sparsity and has better accuracy as compared to baseline method and existing method.


Today, recommendation system has been globally adopted as the most effective and reliable search engine for knowledge extraction in the field of education, economics and scientific research. Collaborative filtering is a proven techniques used in recommender system to make predictions or recommendations of the unknown preferences for users based on the known user preferences. In this paper, collaborative filtering task and their challenges are explored, study the different recommendation techniques and evaluate their performance using different metrics.

Abstract: Due to its vast applications in several sectors, the recommender system has gotten a lot of interest and has been investigated by academics in recent years. The ability to comprehend and apply the context of recommendation requests is critical to the success of any current recommender system. Nowadays, the suggestion system makes it simple to locate the items we require. Movie recommendation systems are intended to assist movie fans by advising which movie to see without needing users to go through the time-consuming and complicated method of selecting a film from a large number of thousands or millions of options. The goal of this research is to reduce human effort by recommending movies based on the user's preferences. This paper introduces a method for a movie recommendation system based on a convolutional neural network with individual features layers of users and movies performed by analyzing user activity and proposing higher-rated films to them. The proposed CNN approach on the MovieLens-1m dataset outperforms the other conventional approaches and gives accurate recommendation results. Keywords: Recommender system, convolutional neural network, movielens-1m, cosine similarity, Collaborative filtering, content-based filtering.


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.
