Cold Start Problem

Most recommender systems are based on the familiar collaborative filtering algorithm to suggest items. Quite often, collaborative filtering algorithm fails in generating recommendations due to the lack of adequate user information resulting in new user cold start problem. The cold start problem is one among the prevailing issue in recommendation system where the system fails to render recommendations. To overcome the new user cold start issue, demographical information of the user is utilised as the user information source. Among the demographical information, the impact of the user gender is less explored when compared with other information like age, profession, region, etc. In this work, a genetic algorithm-influenced gender-based top-n recommender algorithm is proposed to address the new user cold start problem. The algorithm utilises the evolution concepts of the genetic algorithm to render top-n recommendations to a new user. The evaluation of the proposed algorithm using real world datasets proved that the algorithm has a better efficiency than the state of art approaches.

The development of recommendation system comes with the research of data sparsity, cold start, scalability, and privacy protection problems. Even though many papers proposed different improved recommendation algorithms to solve those problems, there is still plenty of room for improvement. In the complex social network, we can take full advantage of dynamic information such as user’s hobby, social relationship, and historical log to improve the performance of recommendation system. In this paper, we proposed a new recommendation algorithm which is based on social user’s dynamic information to solve the cold start problem of traditional collaborative filtering algorithm and also considered the dynamic factors. The algorithm takes user’s response information, dynamic interest, and the classic similar measurement of collaborative filtering algorithm into account. Then, we compared the new proposed recommendation algorithm with the traditional user based collaborative filtering algorithm and also presented some of the findings from experiment. The results of experiment demonstrate that the new proposed algorithm has a better recommended performance than the collaborative filtering algorithm in cold start scenario.

The Impact

With the continuous development of China’s social economy, the competitiveness of brand market is gradually increasing. In order to improve their own level in brand building, major enterprises gradually explore and study visual communication design. Brand visual design has also received more and more attention. Building a complete and rich visual design system can improve the brand level and attract users to consume. Based on the abovementioned situation, this paper proposes to use collaborative filtering algorithm to analyze and study brand visual design. Firstly, a solution is proposed to solve the problem of low accuracy of general recommendation algorithm in brand goods. Collaborative filtering algorithm is used to analyze the visual communication design process of enterprise brand. Research on personalized image design according to consumers’ trust and recognition of brand design is conducted. In traditional craft brand visual design, we mainly study the impact of image design on consumer behavior. The brand loyalty model is used to predict and analyze the visual design effect. Also, the user’s evaluation coefficient is taken as the expression of brand visual design recognition. Finally, the collaborative filtering algorithm is optimized to improve the consumer similarity based on the original algorithm. The results show that the brand visual design using collaborative filtering algorithm can help enterprises obtain greater benefits in their own brand construction. It provides effective data help in the development of traditional craft brands.

Firstly, this paper designs the process of personalized recommendation method based on knowledge graph, and constructs user interest model. Second, the traditional personalized recommendation algorithms are studied and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. Finally, this paper focuses on the combination of knowledge graph and collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm. They are effective to solve the problem where [Formula: see text] value is difficult to be determined in the clustering process of traditional collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm as well as data sparsity and cold start, utilizing the ample semantic relation in knowledge graph. If we use RDF data, which is distributed by the E and P (Exploration and Development) database based on the petroleum E and P, to verify the validity of the algorithm, the result shows that collaborative filtering algorithm based on knowledge graph can build the users’ potential intentions by knowledge graph. It is enlightening to query the information of users. In this way, it expands the mind of users to accomplish the goal of recommendation. In this paper, a collaborative filtering algorithm based on domain knowledge atlas is proposed. By using knowledge graph to effectively classify and describe domain knowledge, the problems are solved including clustering and the cold start in traditional collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm. The better recommendation effect has been achieved.
