Abstract
Recommender systems or collaborative filtering are methods to identify potentially interesting or valuable items to a particular user Under the assumption that people with similar interest tend to like the similar types of items, these methods use a database on the preference of a set of users and predict the rating on the items that the user has not rated. Usually the preference of a particular user is liable to vary with time and this temporal variation may cause an inaccurate identification and prediction. In this paper we propose a method to adapt the temporal variation of the user preference in order to improve the predictive performance of a collaborative filtering algorithm. To be more specific, the correlation weight of the GroupLens system which is a general formulation of statistical collaborative filtering algorithm is modified to reflect only recent similarity between two user. The proposed method is evaluated for EachMovie dataset and shows much better prediction results compared with GrouPLens system.
