scholarly journals Hybrid Filtering Recommendation System in an Educational Context

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.

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.

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.

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.

Personalized recommendation systems combine the data mining technology with users browse profile and provide recommendation set to user forecasted by their interests. Collaborative filtering algorithm is one of the most successful methods for building personalized recommendation system, and is extensively used in many fields to date. With the development of E-commerce, the magnitudes of users and items grow rapidly, resulting in the extreme sparsity of user rating data. Traditional similarity measure methods work poor in this situation, make the quality of recommendation system decreased dramatically. To alleviate the problem, an enhanced Pearson correlation similarity measure method is introduced in the personalized collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm. The approach considers the common correlation rating of users. The recommendation using the enhanced similarity measure can improve the neighbors influence in the course of recommendation and enhance the accuracy and the quality of recommendation systems effectively.

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.

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.

In this article research to the robustness of recommendation systems with collaborative filtering to information attacks, which are aimed at raising or lowering the ratings of target objects in a system. The vulnerabilities of collaborative filtering methods to information attacks, as well as the main types of attacks on recommendation systems - profile-injection attacks are explored. Ways to evaluate the robustness of recommendation systems to profile-injection attacks using metrics such as rating deviation from mean agreement and hit ratio are researched. The general method of testing the robustness of recommendation systems is described. The classification of collaborative filtration methods and comparisons of their robustness to information attacks are presented. Collaborative filtering model-based methods have been found to be more robust than memorybased methods, and item-based methods more resistant to attack than user-based methods. Methods of identifying information attacks on recommendation systems based on the classification of user-profiles are explored. Metrics for identify both individual bot profiles in a system and a group of bots are researched. Ways to evaluate the quality of user profile classifiers, including calculating metrics such as precision, recall, negative predictive value, and specificity are described. The method of increasing the robustness of recommendation systems by entering the user reputation parameter as well as methods for obtaining the numerical value of the user reputation parameter is considered. The results of these researches will in the future be directed to the development of a program model of a recommendation system for testing the robustness of various algorithms for collaborative filtering to known information attacks.

Today internet is a place where the huge amount of data is stored, there is need to sift, which create a problem for the internet user, so recommend system solve the problem. A recommendation system is a system that helps a user found the products and content by forecast the user’s rating of each item and showing them the items that they would rate highly. Recommendation systems are everywhere. With online shopping, customer has nearly infinite choices. No one has enough time to try every product for sale. Recommendation systems play an important role to solve the users search the products and content they care about. Recommendation system is a process of filtering the information that deal with information overloaded problems. Recommendation system is important for both user and service provider. It reduces the cost of transaction and selecting item in an online scenario it also improve the quality of decision making process. It is now an effective means for selling their product. So over emphasized of user is not good for recommendation system. To solve the problems of recommendation system like data sparsity we use one of best technique that is collaborative filtering technique.


Recommendation system has become an inevitable part of our life. It has already spread its prominence in various fields like movies, music, news, article recommendations etc. Due to the influence of social media, data is streaming from all over the Internet. Collect the relevant information from chunks of data available has become much difficult. Recommender systems guides in filtering data to get the relevant information. Commonly used recommendation approaches are content based filtering and collaborative filtering. Each approach has its own limitations. The hybrid approach combines the advantages of both the approaches. In this paper, we have tried to enhance the quality of the items recommendation system by fusing both content based and collaborative filtering uniquely. The experimental results are compared with that of other traditional approach using precision and recall evaluation measure. The comparison results show that our approach has 10% better precision for top-10 recommendations than other established recommendation technique.

Presently recommendation systems have gradually become an important part in E-Commerce, more and more research papers about recommendation systems in E-Commerce appeared in many kinds of conferences and journals. With expanding of E-Commerce it also faces series of challenges. Traditional collaborative filtering recommendation technique is hard to provide recommendation service for unregistered users. To overcome this problem, we suggested a framework of recommendation system based on web mining. It is made up of two parts, offline and online. This method first clustered web usage data, web content data and web structure data respectively, then provided high-quality recommendation services based on mining results. Compared with traditional collaborative filtering techniques, recommendation systems based on web mining are convenient for users because user need not to provide user-rating data explicitly. In end of this paper, accuracy of recommendation system based on web mining was tested and compared with traditional collaborative filtering recommendation system. Testing results showed that, quality of recommendation system based on web mining is better than quality of traditional collaborative filtering recommendation system.
