협업여과 추천기법에는 사용자 기반 협업여과와 아이템 기반 협업여과가 있으며, 절차는 유사도 측정, 이웃 선정, 예측값 생성 단계로 이루어진다. 유사도 측정 단계에는 유클리드 거리(Euclidean Distance), 코사인 유사도(Cosine Similarity), 피어슨 상관계수(Pearson Correlation Coefficient) 방법 등이 있고, 이웃 선정 단계에는 상관 한계치(Correlation-Threshold), 근접 N 이웃(Best-N-Neighbors) 방법 등이 있다. 마지막으로 예측값 생성 단계에는 단순평균(Simple Average), 가중합(Weighted Sum), 조정 가중합(Adjusted Weighted Sum) 등이 있다. 이처럼 협업여과 추천기법에는 다양한 기법들이 사용되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사용자 기반 협업여과와 아이템 기반 협업여과 추천기법에 사용되는 유사도 측정 기법과 예측값 생성 기법의 최적화된 조합을 알아보기 위해 성능 실험 및 비교 분석을 하였다. 실험은 GroupLens의 MovieLens 데이터 셋을 활용하였고 MAE(Mean Absolute Error)값을 이용하여 추천기법을 비교 하였다. 실험을 통해 유사도 측정 기법과 예측값 생성 기법의 최적화된 조합을 찾을 수 있었고, 사용자 기반 협업여과와 아이템 기반 협업여과의 성능비교를 통해 아이템 기반 협업여과의 성능이 보다 우수했음을 확인 하였다.

본 논문에서는 교육용 컨텐츠 추천시스템의 정확도를 향상시키고자 사용자 모델 정보를 활용하여 기존의 협업여과 방법의 유사도 재산을 보완함으로써 추천의 정확도를 향상시키는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 협업여과방법은 사용자의 평가와 비슷한 선호도를 가지고 다른 사용자의 평가를 기반으로 제품이나 항목을 예측하고 이를 사용자에게 추천한다. 그러나 협업여과방법은 일정 수 이상의 상품이나 항목에 대한 평가가 이루어져야 하며, 사용자의 평가가 적은 경우 희소성으로 인한 평가의 정확도가 낮아지는 단점을 기지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 인구 통계 정보를 이용한 가상 평가 점수를 반영하여 유사도 계산시 희소성을 낮춰 예측의 정확도를 향상시키고자 한다.

협업적 여과 시스템은 사용자에 대한 클러스터링을 구축한 후, 구축된 클러스터를 기반으로 사용자에게 영화를 추천한다. 하지만 사용자 클러스터링 구축에 많은 시간이 소요되고, 사용자가 평가한 영화가 피드백이 되었을 경우 재구축이 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 사용자 클러스터링의 재구축을 용이하게 하기 위해 빈발패턴 네트워크를 이용하여 클러스터링을 구축하고, 이를 협업적 여과 시스템에 적용하여 영화를 추천한다. 구축된 클러스터를 통해 사용자 클러스터를 재구축시 소요되는 시간 비용을 줄이면서, 전통적인 협업적 여과 시스템과 유사한 성능의 추천이 가능하게 되었다.

최근 다양한 직업을 가진 SNS 사용자가 증가함에 따라, SNS 사용자들은 전문가 간 협업 및 기술적 의사소통을 위한 전문가 추천 기능을 요구하고 있다. 하지만 기존 협업적 여과 기법은 전문가 추천 서비스를 효율적으로 제공하지 못한다. Content-boosted 협업적 여과 기법은 다양한 예측 알고리즘을 제시하여, 효과적인 추천을 수행할 수 있도록 지원한다. 그러나 명확한 계산 조건이 제시되지 못하는 경우 아이템 및 사용자 유사도 계산을 수행할 수 없는 단점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Content-boosted 협업적 여과 기법의 단점을 해결하는 하이브리드 협업적 여과기법을 이용한 새로운 전문가 추천기법을 제안한다. 또한, 이를 이용하여 SNS에서의 전문가 추천 시스템을 설계한다.

Collaborative filtering, one of the most successful technologies among recommender systems, is a system assisting users in easily finding the useful information and supporting the decision making. However, despite of its success and popularity, one notable issue is incredibility of recommendations by unreliable users called shilling attacks. To deal with this problem, in this paper, we analyze the type of shilling attacks and propose a unique method of building a model for protecting the recommender system against manipulated ratings. In addition, we present a method of applying the model to collaborative filtering which is highly robust and stable to shilling attacks.

Collaborative Filtering is a popular technology in electronic commerce, which adapt the opinions of entire communities to provide interesting products or personalized resources and items. It has been applied to many kinds of electronic commerce domain since Collaborative Filtering has proven an accurate and reliable tool. But educational application remain limited yet. We design collaborative filtering recommendation system using user's ratings in educational contents recommendation. Also We propose a method of similarity compensation using user's information for improvement of recommendation accuracy. The proposed method is more efficient than the traditional collaborative filtering method by experimental comparisons of mean absolute error(MAE) and reciever operating characteristics(ROC) values.

In this paper we present an improved method by using demographic information for overcoming the similarity miss-calculation from the sparsity problem in collaborative filtering recommendation systems. The similarity between a pair of users is only determined by the ratings given to co-rated items, so items that have not been rated by both users are ignored. To solve this problem, we add virtual neighbor's rating using demographic information of neighbors for improving prediction accuracy. It is one kind of extentions of traditional collaborative filtering methods using the peason correlation coefficient. We used the Grouplens movie rating data in experiment and we have compared the proposed method with the collaborative filtering methods by the mean absolute error and receive operating characteristic values. The results show that the proposed method is more efficient than the collaborative filtering methods using the pearson correlation coefficient about 9% in MAE and 13% in sensitivity of ROC.

Collaborative filtering is a popular technique that recommends items based on the opinions of other people in recommender systems. Memory-based collaborative filtering which uses user database can be divided in user-based approaches and item-based approaches. User-based collaborative filtering predicts a user's preference of an item using the preferences of similar neighborhood, while item-based collaborative filtering predicts the preference of an item based on the similarity of items. This paper proposes a combined forecast scheme that predicts the preference of a user to an item by combining user-based prediction and item-based prediction using the ratio of the number of similar users and the number of similar items. Experimental results using MovieLens data set and the BookCrossing data set show that the proposed scheme improves the accuracy of prediction for movies and books compared with the user-based scheme and item-based scheme.

Collaborative filtering system is the clustering about user is built and then based on that clustering results will recommend the preferred item to the user. However, building user clustering is time consuming and also once the users evaluate and give feedback about the film then rebuilding the system is not simple. In this paper, genre pattern of movie recommendation systems is being used and in order to simplify and reduce time of rebuilding user clustering. A Frequent pattern networks is used and then extracts user preference genre patterns and through that extracted patterns user clustering will be built. Through built the clustering for all neighboring users to collaborative filtering is applied and then recommends movies to the user. When receiving user information feedback, traditional collaborative filtering is to rebuild the clustering for all neighbouring users to research and do the clustering. However by using frequent pattern Networks, through user clustering based on genre pattern, collaborative filtering is applied and when rebuilding user clustering inquiry limited by search time can be reduced. After receiving user information feedback through proposed user clustering based on genre pattern, the time that need to spent on re-establishing user clustering can be reduced and also enable the possibility of traditional collaborative filtering systems and recommendation of a similar performance.

Collaborative Filtering (CF), one of the most successful technologies among recommender systems, is a system assisting users in easily finding the useful information. However, despite its success and popularity, CF encounters a serious limitation with quality evaluation, called cold start problems. To alleviate this limitation, in this paper, we propose a unique method of building models derived from explicit ratings and applying the models to CF recommender systems. The proposed method is divided into two phases, an offline phase and an online phase. First, the offline phase is a building pre-computed model phase in which most of tasks can be conducted. Second, the online phase is either a prediction or recommendation phase in which the models are used. In a model building phase, we first determine a priori predicted rating and subsequently identify prediction errors for each user. From this error information, an error-reflected model is constructed. The error-reflected model, which is reflected average prior prediction errors of user neighbors and item neighbors, can make accurate predictions in the situation where users or items have few opinions; this is known as the cold start problems. In addition, in order to reduce the re-building tasks, the error-reflected model is designed such that the model is updated effectively and users'new opinions are reflected incrementally, even when users present a new rating feedback.
