Recommendation systems have become a necessity due to the mass of information accumulated for each site. For this purpose, there are several methods including collaborative filtering and content-based filtering. For each approach there is a vast list of procedural choices. The work studies the different methods and algorithms in the field of collaborative filtering recommendation. The objective of the work is to implement these algorithms in order to compare the different performances of each one; the tests were carried out in two datasets, book crossing and Movieslens. The use of a data set benchmark is crucial for the proper evaluation of collaborative filtering algorithms in order to draw a conclusion on the performance of the algorithms.

Recommendation systems provide reliable and relevant recommendations to users and also enable users’ trust on the website. This is achieved by the opinions derived from reviews, feedbacks and preferences provided by the users when the product is purchased or viewed through social networks. This integrates interactions of social networks with recommendation systems which results in the behavior of users and user’s friends. The techniques used so far for recommendation systems are traditional, based on collaborative filtering and content based filtering. This paper provides a novel approach called User-Opinion-Rating (UOR) for building recommendation systems by taking user generated opinions over social networks as a dimension. Two tripartite graphs namely User-Item-Rating and User-Item-Opinion are constructed based on users’ opinion on items along with their ratings. Proposed approach quantifies the opinions of users and results obtained reveal the feasibility.

In order to draw users’ attention and to increase their satisfaction toward online information search results, search-engine developers and vendors try to predict user preferences based on users’ behavior. Recommendations are provided by the search engines or online vendors to the users. Recommendation systems are implemented on commercial and nonprofit Web sites to predict user preferences. For commercial Web sites, accurate predictions may result in higher selling rates. The main functions of recommendation systems include analyzing user data and extracting useful information for further predictions. Recommendation systems are designed to allow users to locate preferable items quickly and to avoid possible information overload. Recommendation systems apply data-mining techniques to determine the similarity among thousands or even millions of data. Collaborative-filtering techniques have been successful in enabling the prediction of user preferences in recommendation systems (Hill, Stead, Rosenstein, & Furnas, 1995, Shardanand & Maes, 1995). There are three major processes in recommendation systems: object data collections and representations, similarity decisions, and recommendation computations. Collaborative filtering aims at finding the relationships among new individual data and existing data in order to further determine their similarity and provide recommendations. How to define the similarity is an important issue. How similar should two objects be in order to finalize the preference prediction? Similarity decisions are concluded differently by collaborative-filtering techniques. For example, people that like and dislike movies in the same categories would be considered as the ones with similar behavior (Chee, Han, & Wang, 2001). The concept of the nearest-neighbor algorithm has been included in the implementation of recommendation systems (Resnick, Iacovou, Suchak, Bergstrom, & Riedl, 1994). The designs of pioneer recommendation systems focus on entertainment fields (Dahlen, Konstan, Herlocker, Good, Borchers, & Riedl, 1998; Resnick et al.; Shardanand & Maes; Hill et al.). The challenge of conventional collaborative-filtering algorithms is the scalability issue (Sarwar, Karypis, Konstan, & Riedl, 2000a). Conventional algorithms explore the relationships among system users in large data sets. User data are dynamic, which means the data vary within a short time period. Current users may change their behavior patterns, and new users may enter the system at any moment. Millions of user data, which are called neighbors, are to be examined in real time in order to provide recommendations (Herlocker, Konstan, Borchers, & Riedl, 1999). Searching among millions of neighbors is a time-consuming process. To solve this, item-based collaborative-filtering algorithms are proposed to enable reductions of computations because properties of items are relatively static (Sarwar, Karypis, Konstan, & Riedl, 2001). Suggest is a top-N recommendation engine implemented with item-based recommendation algorithms (Deshpande & Karypis, 2004; Karypis, 2000). Meanwhile, the amount of items is usually less than the number of users. In early 2004, Amazon Investor Relations (2004) stated that the Amazon.com apparel and accessories store provided about 150,000 items but had more than 1 million customer accounts that had ordered from this store. Amazon.com employs an item-based algorithm for collaborative-filtering-based recommendations (Linden, Smith, & York, 2003) to avoid the disadvantages of conventional collaborative-filtering algorithms.

With the advancement of technology there are millions of songs available on the internet and this creates problem for a person to choose from this vast pool of songs. So, there should be some middleman who must do this task on behalf of user and present most relevant songs that perfectly fits the user’s taste. This task is done by recommendation system. Music recommendation system predicts the user liking towards a particular song based on the listening history and profile. Most of the music recommendation system available today will give most recently played song or songs which have overall highest rating as suggestions to users but these suggestions are not personalized. The paper purposes how the recommendation systems can be used to give personalized suggestions to each and every user with the help of collaborative filtering which uses user similarity to give suggestions. The paper aims at implementing this idea and solving the cold start problem using content based filtering at the start.


In education, the needs of learners are different in the majority of the time, as each has specificities in terms of preferences, performance and goals. Recommendation systems have proven to be an effective way to ensure this learning personalization. Already used and tested in other areas such as e-commerce, their adaptation to the educational context has led to several research studies that have tried to find the best approaches with the best expected results. This article suggests that a hybridization of recommendation systems filtering methods can improve the quality of recommendations. An experiment was conducted to test an approach that combines content-based filtering and collaborative filtering. The results proved to be convincing.

Pada masa sekarang ini film telah menjadi salah satu hiburan favorit utama masyarakat. Jumlah film pertahun terhitung mencapai ribuan. Hal ini membuat penggemar film kesulitan dalam memilih film mana yang tepat untuk ditonton sesuai keinginan. Sehingga dibutuhkan sistem rekomendasi yang bertujuan untuk memberikan saran film mana yang akan dipilih. Sistem rekomendasi adalah sistem yang membantu pengguna dalam mengatasi informasi yang meluap dengan memberikan rekomendasi spesifik bagi pengguna dan diharapkan rekomendasi tersebut bisa memenuhi keinginan dan kebutuhan pengguna. Terdapat tiga jenis sistem rekomendasi berdasarkan metode yang digunakannya yakni, collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, dan hybrid. Metode yang digunakan adalah collaborative filtering merupakan salah satu yang sering digunakan dalam sistem rekomendasi. Collaborative filtering dibagi menjadi dua bagian yaitu item-based collaborative filtering dan user-based collaborative filtering. Dalam tugas akhir ini penulis menggunakan metode item-based collaborative filtering. Data set yang digunakan adalah data set dari MovieLens.org berupa 100.000 rating yang diberikan oleh pengguna terhadap film. Data MovieLens akan diproses menggunakan program R dan memakai paket R yaitu recommenderlab.

Movies are one of the sources of entertainment, but the problem is in finding the content of our choice because content is increasing every year. However, recommendation systems plays here an important role for finding the content of desired domain in these situations. The aim of this paper is to improve the accuracy and performance of a filtration techniques existed. There are several methods and algorithms existed to implement a recommendation system. Content-based filtering is the simplest method, it takes input from the users, checks the movie and its content and recommends a list of similar movies. In this paper, to prove the effectiveness of our system, K-NN algorithms and collaborative filtering are used. Here, the usage of cosine similarity is done for recommending the nearest neighbours.


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.

Over the past few years, interest in applications related to recommendation systems has increased significantly. Many modern services create recommendation systems that, based on user profile information and his behavior. This services determine which objects or products may be interesting to users. Recommendation systems are a modern tool for understanding customer needs. The main methods of constructing recommendation systems are the content-based filtering method and the collaborative filtering method. This article presents the implementation of these methods based on decision trees. The content-based filtering method is based on the description of the object and the customer’s preference profile. An object description is a finite set of its descriptors, such as keywords, binary descriptors, etc., and a preference profile is a weighted vector of object descriptors in which scales reflect the importance of each descriptor to the client and its contribution to the final decision. This model selects items that are similar to the customer’s favorite items before. The second model, which implements the method of collaborative filtering, is based on information about the history of behavior of all customers on the resource: data on their purchases, assessments of product quality, reviews, marked product. The model finds clients that are similar in behavior and the recommendation is based on their assessments of this element. Voting was used to combine the results issued by individual models — the best result is chosen from the results of two models of the ensemble. This approach minimizes the impact of randomness and averages the errors of each model. The aim: The purpose of work is to create real competitive recommendation system for short period of time and minimum costs.

The main goal of a recommendation system is to recommend items of interest to users by analyzing their historical data. Content-based and collaborative filtering are the traditional recommendation strategies, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Some of their weaknesses can be overcome by combining the two strategies. The resulting hybrid system performs qualitatively better than the traditional recommendation systems. However, historical data of some users may consist largely of only likes or only dislikes. Those users are termed as optimistic or pessimistic users respectively. On an average there are around 10 to 20% of pessimistic users present in a given dataset. For pessimistic users, whose profiles have mostly dislikes and very few likes, content-based filtering can hardly recommend any items of interest. In content-based filtering technique pessimistic users get poor recommendations of either uninteresting movies or no recommendations at all. This can be alleviated by boosting the content profiles of pessimistic users using the top-n recommendations of collaborative filtering. This content boosted hybrid filtering system provides a novel list of recommendations even for pessimistic users, with predictive accuracy better than that of a traditional content-based filtering system.

Collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm is the most successful technology for recommendation systems. However, traditional collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm does not consider the change of time information. For this problem,this paper improve the algorithm with two new methods:Predict score incorporated with time information in order to reflect the user interest change; Recommend according to scores by adding the weight information determined by the item life cycle. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the traditional item in accuracy.
