Due to rapid digital explosion user shows interest towards finding suggestions regarding a particular topic before taking any decision. Nowadays, a movie recommendation system is an upcoming area which suggests movies based on user profile. Many researchers working on supervised or semi-supervised ensemble based machine learning approach for matching more appropriate profiles and suggest related movies. In this paper a hybrid recommendation system is proposed which includes both collaborative and content based filtering to design a profile matching algorithm. A nature inspired Particle Swam Optimization technique is applied to fine tune the profile matching algorithm by assigning to multiple agents or particle with some initial random guess. The accuracy of the model will be judged comparing with Genetic algorithm.

One of the most popular applications for the recommender systems is a movie recommendation system that suggests a few movies to a user based on the user’s preferences. Although there is a wealth of available data on movies, such as their genres, directors and actors, there is little information on a new user, making it hard for the recommender system to suggest what might interest the user. Accordingly, several recommendation services explicitly ask users to evaluate a certain number of movies, which are then used to create a user profile in the system. In general, one can create a better user profile if the user evaluates many movies at the beginning. However, most users do not want to evaluate many movies when they join the service. This motivates us to examine the minimum number of inputs needed to create a reliable user preference. We call this the magic number for determining user preferences. A recommender system based on this magic number can reduce user inconvenience while also making reliable suggestions. Based on user, item and content-based filtering, we calculate the magic number by comparing the accuracy resulting from the use of different numbers for predicting user preferences.

AbstractCollaborative filtering is one of the most widely used recommendation system approaches. One issue in collaborative filtering is how to use a similarity algorithm to increase the accuracy of the recommendation system. Most recently, a similarity algorithm that combines the user rating value and the user behavior value has been proposed. The user behavior value is obtained from the user score probability in assessing the genre data. The problem with the algorithm is it only considers genre data for capturing user behavior value. Therefore, this study proposes a new similarity algorithm – so-called User Profile Correlation-based Similarity (UPCSim) – that examines the genre data and the user profile data, namely age, gender, occupation, and location. All the user profile data are used to find the weights of the similarities of user rating value and user behavior value. The weights of both similarities are obtained by calculating the correlation coefficients between the user profile data and the user rating or behavior values. An experiment shows that the UPCSim algorithm outperforms the previous algorithm on recommendation accuracy, reducing MAE by 1.64% and RMSE by 1.4%.

Movies are very significant in our lives. It is one of the many forms of entertainment that we encounter in our daily lives. It is up to the individual to decide whatever type of film they choose to see, whether it is a comedy, romantic film, action film, or adventure film. However, the issue is locating acceptable content, as there is a large amount of information created each year. As a result, finding our favourite film is really difficult. The goal of this research is to improve the regular filtering technique's performance and accuracy. A recommendation system can be implemented using a variety of approaches. Content-based filtering and collaborative filtering strategies are employed in this work. The content-based filtering approach analyses the user's history/past behaviour and recommends a list of comparable movies depending on their input. K-NN algorithms and collaborative filtering are also employed in this paper to improve the accuracy of the results. Cosine similarity is utilised in this work to quickly discover comparable information. The correctness of the cosine angle is measured by cosine similarity. People may quickly find their favourite movie content thanks to all of this.

The popularity of location-based social networks has prompted researchers to study recommendation systems for location-based services. When used separately, each existing venue recommendation system algorithm has its own drawbacks (e.g. cold start, data sparsity, scalability). Another issue is that critical information about context is not commonly used in venue recommendation systems. This article proposes a hybrid recommendation model that combines contextual information, user-based and item-based collaborative filtering and content-based filtering. For this purpose, we collected user visit histories, venue-related information (distance, category, popularity and price) and contextual information (weather, season, date and time of visits) related to individual user visits from Twitter, Foursquare and Weather Underground. Experimental evaluation of the proposed hybrid system (HybRecSys) using a real-world dataset shows better results than baseline approaches.

Purpose In recent years, e-commerce (EC) sites dealing in various goods and services have increased along with internet popularity. Now, very few EC recommendation systems present a concrete reason for their recommendations. Therefore, because user preferences strongly influence outcomes, evaluation and selection are difficult for items, such as books, movies and luxury goods. The purpose of this paper is evoking interest by showing the review as a reason for a user’s decision-making factor. This paper aims to presents the development and introduction of a recommendation system that presents a review adapted to user preference. Design/methodology/approach The system presents a review to the user, which indicates the reason for matching the item contents and user preferences. Thereby, this system enables the creation of personalized reasons for recommendations. Findings Recommendation sentences conforming to user preferences are effective for item selection. Even with a simple method, in this paper, it was possible to present a review which is an item selection factor sufficient for the user. Originality/value This system can show a recommendation sentence that conforms to a user’s preferences merely from a user profile with the tag data of a product. This paper dealt in movies, but it can easily be applied even for other items.

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.

Abstract A recommendation system is a software used in the e-commerce field that provides recommendations for customers to choose the items they like. Several recommendation systems have been proposed; however, collaborative filtering is the most widely used approach. The main issue in collaborative filtering is how to implement a similarity algorithm that can improve performance in the recommendation system. Several similarity algorithms based on user rating value have been developed, and recently a similarity algorithm has been developed that combines the user rating value and the user behavior value. However, the existing research is still based only on a single user behavior value, which is the genre data. Therefore, we propose a new similarity algorithm that considers not only the genre data but also the user profile data (namely age, gender, occupation, and location). The new similarity we are proposing is called User Profile Correlation-based Similarity (UPCSim). The user profile correlation similarity was obtained by calculating the correlation coefficient between the user profile data and the user rating or behavior values. An experiment was done to compare the accuracy of the UPCSim algorithm with that of the previous algorithm. The experiment results show that the UPCSim algorithm can improve the recommendation performance MAE by 1.64% and RMSE by 1.4% compared to the previous algorithm.
