The current research offers a novel use of machine learning strategies to create a recommendation system. At recent era, recommender systems (RSs) have been used widely in e-commerce, entertainment purposes, and search engines. In more general, RSs are set of algorithms designed to recommend relevant items to users (movies to watch, books to read, products to buy, songs to listen, and others). This article discovers the different characteristics and features of many approaches used for recommendation systems in order to filter and prioritize the relevant information and work as a compass for searching. Recommender engines are crucial in some companies as they can create a big amount of income when they are effective or be a way to stand out remarkably from other rivals. As a proof of the importance of recommender engine, it can be stated that Netflix arrange a challenge (the “Netflix prize”) where the mission was to create a recommender engine that achieves better than its own algorithm with a prize of 1 million dollars to win.

Today the amount of information in the internet growth very rapidly and people need some instruments to find and access appropriate information. One of such tools is called recommendation system. Recommendation systems help to navigate quickly and receive necessary information. Many of us find it difficult to decide which movie to watch and so we decided to make a recommender system for us to better judge which movie we are more likely to love. In this project we are going to use Machine Learning Algorithms to recommend movies to users based on genres and user ratings. Recommendation system attempt to predict the preference or rating that a user would give to an item.

With the introduction of Web 2.0, which includes users as content generators, finding relevant information is even more complex. To tackle this problem of information overload, a number of different techniques have been introduced, including search engines, Semantic Web, and recommender systems, among others. The use of recommender systems for e-Government is a research topic that is intended to improve the interaction among public administrations, citizens, and the private sector through reducing information overload on e-Government services. In this chapter, the use of recommender systems on eParticipation is presented. A brief description of the eGovernment Framework used and the participation levels that are proposed to enhance participation. The highest level of participation is known as eEmpowerment, where the decision-making is placed on the side of citizens. Finally, a set of examples for the different eParticipation types is presented to illustrate the use of recommender systems.


UniAssist project is implemented to help students who have completed their Bachelorette degree and are looking forward to study abroad to pursue their higher education such as Masters. Machine Learning would help identify appropriate Universities for such students and suggest them accordingly. UniAssist would help such individuals by recommending those Universities according to their preference of course, country and considering their grades, work experience and qualifications. There is a need for students hoping to pursue higher education outside India to get to know about proper universities. Data collected is then converted into relevant information that is currently not easily available such as courses offered by their dream universities, the avg. tuition fee and even the avg. expense of living near the chosen university on single mobile app based software platform. This is the first phase of the admission process for every student. The machine-learning algorithm used is Collaborative filtering memory-based approach using KNN calculated using cosine similarity. A mobile-based software application is implemented in order to help and guide students for their higher education.

Recommendation systems are class of information filter applications whose main goal is to provide personalized recommendations. The main goal of the research was to compare two ways of creating personalized recommendations. The recommendation system was built on the basis of a content-based cognitive filtering method and on the basis of a collaborative filtering method based on user ratings. The conclusions of the research show the advantages and disadvantages of both methods.

Recommender System is the effective tools that are accomplished of recommending the future preference of a set of products to the consumer and to predict the most likelihood items. Today, customers has the ability to purchase or sell different items with advancement of e-commerce website, nevertheless it made complicate to investigate the majority of appropriate items suitable for the interest of the consumer from many items. Due to this scenario, recommender systems that can recommend items appropriate for user's interest and likings have become mandatory. In recent days, various recommendation methods are applied to resolve the data abundance setback in numerous application areas like movie recommendation, e-commerce, news recommendation, song recommendation and social media. Even if all the available current recommender systems are successful in generating reasonable predictions, these recommendation system still facing the issues like accuracy, cold-start, sparsity and scalability problem. Deep learning, the recently developed sub domain of machine learning technique is utilized in recommendation systems to enhance the feature of predicted output. Deep Learning is used to generate recommendations and the research challenges specific to recommendation systems when using Deep Learning are also presented. In this research, the basic terminologies, the fundamental concepts of Recommendation engine and a wide-ranging review of deep learning models utilized in Recommender Systems are presented.

PurposeIn this article the authors will focus on the state of the art on information filtering and recommender systems based on trust. Then the authors will represent a variety of filtering and recommendation techniques studied in different literature, like basic content filtering, collaborative filtering and hybrid filtering. The authors will also examine different trust-based recommendation algorithms. It will ends with a summary of the different existing approaches and it develops the link between trust, sustainability and recommender systems.Design/methodology/approachMethodology of this study will begin with a general introduction to the different approaches of recommendation systems; then define trust and its relationship with recommender systems. At the end the authors will present their approach to “trust-based recommendation systems”.FindingsThe purpose of this study is to understand how groups of users could improve trust in a recommendation system. The authors will examine how to evaluate the performance of recommender systems to ensure their ability to meet the needs that led to its creation and to make the system sustainable with respect to the information. The authors know very well that selecting a measure must depend on the type of data to be processed and user interests. Since the recommendation domain is derived from information search paradigms, it is obvious to use the evaluation measures of information systems.Originality/valueThe authors presented a list of recommendations systems.

With the spread of COVID-19, the “untact” culture in South Korea is expanding and customers are increasingly seeking for online services. A recommendation system serves as a decision-making indicator that helps users by suggesting items to be purchased in the future by exploring the symmetry between multiple user activity characteristics. A plethora of approaches are employed by the scientific community to design recommendation systems, including collaborative filtering, stereotyping, and content-based filtering, etc. The current paradigm of recommendation systems favors collaborative filtering due to its significant potential to closely capture the interest of a user as compared to other approaches. The collaborative filtering harnesses features like user-profile details, visited pages, and click information to determine the interest of a user, thereby recommending the items that are related to the user’s interest. The existing collaborative filtering approaches exploit implicit and explicit features and report either good classification or prediction outcome. These systems fail to exhibit good results for both measures at the same time. We believe that avoiding the recommendation of those items that have already been purchased could contribute to overcoming the said issue. In this study, we present a collaborative filtering-based algorithm to tackle big data of user with symmetric purchasing order and repetitive purchased products. The proposed algorithm relies on combining extreme gradient boosting machine learning architecture with word2vec mechanism to explore the purchased products based on the click patterns of users. Our algorithm improves the accuracy of predicting the relevant products to be recommended to the customers that are likely to be bought. The results are evaluated on the dataset that contains click-based features of users from an online shopping mall in Jeju Island, South Korea. We have evaluated Mean Absolute Error, Mean Square Error, and Root Mean Square Error for our proposed methodology and also other machine learning algorithms. Our proposed model generated the least error rate and enhanced the prediction accuracy of the recommendation system compared to other traditional approaches.

The trend of the Internet makes the presentation of the right content for the right user inevitable. To this end, recommendation systems are used in areas such as music, books, movies, travel planning, e-commerce, education, and more. One of the most popular recommendation systems in the world is Netflix, which generated record profits during quarantine in the first quartile of 2020. The systematic approach of recommendations is based on the history of user selections, likes and reviews, each of which is interpreted to predict future user selections. This article provides a meaningful analysis of various recommendation systems, such as content-based, collaborative filtering and popularity. We reviewed 7 articles published from 2005 to 2019 to discuss issues related to existing models. The purpose of this article is to compare machine learning algorithms in the Surprise library for a recommendation system. Recommendation system has been implemented and quality has been evaluated using the MAE and RMSE metrics.

The enormous scale of the available information and products on the Internet has necessitated the development of algorithms that intermediate between options and human users. These AI/machine learning algorithms attempt to provide the user with relevant information. In doing so, the algorithms may incur potential negative consequences stemming from the need to select items about which it is uncertain to increase predictive accuracy versus the need to select items about which it is certain to increase recommendation accuracy. This tension between predicting relevant recommendations to the users and learning about the user's interests can be considered an instantiation of the well-known exploration-exploitation tradeoff in the context of information filtering and recommender systems. Building from existing machine learning algorithms, we introduce a parameterized model that unifies and interpolates between recommending relevant information and active learning. We present three experiments investigating the unified model. Specifically, we illustrate the tradeoffs of optimizing prediction and recommendation within a tightly controlled concept-learning paradigm, show the conditions under which a broad parameter range can optimize for both, and identify the effects of human variability on algorithm performance. Thus, combining methods and models from cognitive science and computer science, we quantify implications of tradeoffs between recommendation accuracy and learning about preferences of human users, demonstrating the value of experimental approaches to understanding real world human-machine feedback loops.
