The introduction of recommender systems to existing online services is now practically inevitable, with the increasing number of items and users on online services. Popular recommender systems have successfully implemented satisfactory systems, which are usually based on collaborative filtering. However, collaborative filtering-based recommenders suffer from well-known problems, such as popularity bias, and the cold-start problem. In this paper, we propose an innovative collaborative-filtering based recommender system, which uses the concepts of Experts and Novices to create fine-grained recommendations that focus on being novel, while being kept relevant. Experts and Novices are defined using pre-made clusters of similar items, and the distribution of users' ratings among these clusters. Thus, in order to generate recommendations, the experts are found dynamically depending on the seed items of the novice. The proposed recommender system was built using the MovieLens 1 M dataset, and evaluated with novelty metrics. Results show that the proposed system outperforms matrix factorization methods according to discovery-based novelty metrics, and can be a solution to popularity bias and the cold-start problem, while still retaining collaborative filtering.

대규모의 상품을 다루는 전자상거래 시스템에서 개인화된 추천은 필수적인 기능이 되고 있다. 대표적 추천 알고리즘인 협업필터링은 내용기반 추천에 비하여 뛰어난 추천성능을 제공해 주고 있으나, 희박성, 신규 아이템 문제(Cold-start), 확장성 등의 근본적인 한계를 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 추가적으로 협업필터링이 목표 대상자에 따라 비일관된 예측 능력의 차이를 보이는 추천 성능의 편차 문제를 제기하고자 한다. 추천성능의 편차는 기존의 Mean Absolute Error(MAE)에 의해서는 측정되기 어려우며 또한 정확도, 재현율 지표와도 독립적으로 평가되고 있다. 협업알고리즘의 정확한 성능평가를 위해서 본 연구에서는 MAE, MAE 편차, 정확도, 재현율을 포괄적으로 평가할 수 있는 확장 성능평가모델을 제안하고 이를 클러스터링 기반 협업필터링에 적용하여 성능을 비교 분석한다.

Collaborative Filtering(CF) 기법에 기반을 둔 다양한 영화 추천 방법들이 제안 되어 왔다. CF는 영화를 본 사람들이 직접 영화에 대해 평가한 점수를 기반으로 같은 성향을 가진 이웃 그룹을 결정하고, 새로운 영화에 대해 그 영화를 이미 본 이웃의 점수를 기반으로 사용자의 새로운 영화에 대한 선호도 값을 예측하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 사용자에 따라 영화 장르에 대한 선호도 정보를 CF의 예측 값에 반영하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 CF를 기반으로 하는 모든 종류의 추천 방법에 결합하여 사용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 CF알고리즘에 장르기반 알고리즘을 결합한 CF-Genre의 성능과 기존의 CF 알고리즘의 성능을 측정 비교하였다. 성능 평가의 결과 CF-Genre가 기존 CF의 예측 성능을 3.3% 정도 개선하였다.

네트워크와 모바일 기기의 확산으로 데이터가 폭발적으로 증가하고 있으며 기존의 추천 기법으로는 급증하는 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하는데 문제가 있다. 따라서 가장 널리 사용되는 추천 기법인 협업 필터링 기법의 확장성 문제를 어떻게 해결할 것에 대한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 협업 필터링 기법에 분산 병렬처리 방식인 MapReduce를 적용하여 확장성 문제를 줄이고 정확성을 높이는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 사용자 기반 협업 필터링 기법에 MapReduce와 색인기법을 적용하여 유사도 계산에 사용되는 이웃의 수와 이웃의 적합성을 개선하는 방식으로 확장성과 정확성을 개선하는 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

In this study, with the goal of developing a deep learning-based product recommendation model for effective matching of influencers and products, a deep learning model with a collaborative filtering model combined with generalized matrix decomposition(GMF), a collaborative filtering model based on multi-layer perceptron (MLP), and neural collaborative filtering and generalized matrix Factorization (NeuMF), a hybrid model combining GMP and MLP was developed and tested. In particular, we utilize one-class problem free boosting (OCF-B) method to solve the one-class problem that occurs when training is performed only on positive cases using implicit feedback in the deep learning-based collaborative filtering recommendation model. In relation to model selection based on overall experimental results, the MLP model showed highest performance with weighted average precision, weighted average recall, and f1 score were 0.85 in the model (n=3,000, term=15). This study is meaningful in practice as it attempted to commercialize a deep learning-based recommendation system where influencer's promotion data is being accumulated, pactical personalized recommendation service is not yet commercially applied yet.

As deep learning technology in natural language and visual processing has rapidly developed, collaborative filtering-based recommendation systems using deep learning technology are being actively introduced in the recommendation field. In this study, OCF-GAN, a hybrid collaborative filtering model using GAN, was proposed to solve the one-class and cold-start problems, and its usefulness was verified through performance evaluation. OCF-GAN based on conditional GAN consists of a generator that generates a pattern similar to the actual user preference pattern and a discriminator that tries to distinguish the actual preference pattern from the generated preference pattern. When the training is completed, user preference vectors are generated based on the actual distribution of preferred items. In addition, the cold-start problem was solved by using a hybrid collaborative filtering recommendation method that additionally utilizes user and item profiles. As a result of the performance evaluation, it was found that the performance of the OCF-GAN with additional information was superior in all indicators of the Top 5 and Top 20 recommendations compared to the existing GAN-based recommender. This phenomenon was more clearly revealed in experiments with cold-start users and items.

This study proposes a deep learning-based evolutionary recommendation model for heterogeneous big data integration, for which collaborative filtering and a neural-network algorithm are employed. The proposed model is used to apply an individual's importance or sensory level to formulate a recommendation using the decision-making feedback. The evolutionary recommendation model is based on the Deep Neural Network (DNN), which is useful for analyzing and evaluating the feedback data among various neural-network algorithms, and the DNN is combined with collaborative filtering. The designed model is used to extract health information from data collected by the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and the collaborative filtering-based recommendation model was compared with the deep learning-based evolutionary recommendation model to evaluate its performance. The RMSE is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed model. According to the comparative analysis, the accuracy of the deep learning-based evolutionary recommendation model is superior to that of the collaborative filtering-based recommendation model.

In this paper, we propose a new idea to evaluate the prediction accuracy of user's preference generated by memory-based collaborative filtering algorithm before prediction process in the recommender system. Our analysis results show the possibility of a pre-evaluation before the prediction process of users' preference of item's transaction on the web. Classification functions proposed in this study generate a user's rating pattern under certain conditions. In this research, we test whether classification functions select users who have lower prediction or higher prediction performance under collaborative filtering recommendation approach. The statistical test results will be based on the differences of the prediction accuracy of each user group which are classified by classification functions using the generative probability of specific rating. The characteristics of rating patterns of classified users will also be presented.

Collaborative filtering is one of popular techniques for personalized recommendation in e-commerce sites. An advantage of collaborative filtering is that the technique can work with sparse evaluation data to predict preference scores of new alternative contents or advertisements. There is, however, no in-depth study about the sparsity effect of customer's evaluation data to the performance of recommendation. In this study, we investigate the sparsity effect and hybrid usages of customers' evaluation data and purchase data using an experiment result. The result of the analysis shows that the performance of recommendation decreases monotonically as the sparsity increases, and also the hybrid usage of two different types of data; customers' evaluation data and purchase data helps to increase the performance of recommendation in sparsity situation.
