With the explosive growth of information in our real life, information filtering is quickly becoming a popular technique for reducing information overload. Information filtering technique is divided into two categories: content-based filtering and collaborative filtering (or social filtering). Content-based filtering selects the information based on contents; while collaborative filtering combines the opinions of other persons to make a prediction for the target user. In this paper, we describe a new filtering approach that seamlessly combines content-based filtering and collaborative filtering to take advantages from both of them, where a technique using user profiles efficiently on the collaborative filtering framework is introduced to predict a user's preference. The proposed approach is experimentally evaluated and compared to conventional filtering. Our experiments showed that the proposed approach not only achieved significant improvement in prediction quality, but also dealt with new users well.

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.

Recommender systems are a personalized information filtering technology to help customers find the products they would like to purchase. Collaborative filtering is known to be the most successful recommendation technology, but its widespread use has exposed some problems such as sparsity and scalability in the e-business environment. In this paper, we propose a recommendation system, WebCF-PT based on Web usage mining and product taxonomy to enhance the recommendation quality and the system performance of traditional CF-based recommender systems. Web usage mining populates the rating database by tracking customers' shopping behaviors on the Web, so leading to better quality recommendations. The product taxonomy is used to improve the performance of searching for nearest neighbors through dimensionality reduction of the rating database. A prototype recommendation system, WebCF-PT is developed and Internet shopping mall, EBIB(e-Business & Intelligence Business) is constructed to test the WebCF-PT system.

Many researchers have been focused on designing beauty product recommendation system for a long time because of increased need of customers for personalized and customized recommendation in beauty product domain. In addition, as the application of the deep neural network technique becomes active recently, various collaborative filtering techniques based on the deep neural network have been introduced. In this context, this study proposes a deep neural network model suitable for beauty product recommendation by applying Neural Collaborative Filtering and Generalized Matrix Factorization (NCF + GMF) to beauty product recommendation. This study also provides an implementation of web API system to commercialize the proposed recommendation model. The overall performance of the NCF + GMF model was the best when the beauty product recommendation problem was defined as the estimation rating score problem and the binary classification problem. The NCF + GMF model showed also high performance in the top N recommendation.

As SNS(Social Network Service) becomes a part of our life, new information can be derived through various information provided by SNS. Through the public timeline analysis of SNS, we can extract the latest tour trends for the public and the intimacy through the social relationship analysis in the SNS. The extracted intimacy can also be used to make the personalized recommendation by adding the weights to friends with high intimacy. We apply SNS elements such as analyzed latest trends and intimacy to item-based collaborative filtering techniques to achieve better accuracy and satisfaction than existing travel recommendation services in a new way. In this paper, we propose a social travel recommendation system using item - based collaborative filtering.

Item-based collaborative filtering (IBCF) is an important technology that is widely used in recommender system of online shopping malls. It uses historical information to compute item-item similarity and make predictions. However, in offline shopping each customer's purchasing pattern can be occurred continuously and repeatedly due to time and space constraints contrast to online shopping. Those facts can make IBCF to have limitations from being applied to offline shopping malls directly. In order to improve the quality of recommendations made by IBCF in offline shopping mall, we propose an ensemble approach that considers both item-item similarity of IBCF and each customer's purchasing patterns which are modeled by item networks. Our experimental results show that this approach produces recommendation results superior to those of existing works such as pure IBCF or bestseller approaches.

Recently an intelligent system is developed for the service what users want not a passive system which just answered user's request. This intelligent system is used for personalized recommendation system and representative techniques are content-based and collaborative filtering. In this study, we propose a prediction system which is based on the techniques of recommendation system using a collaborative filtering and a fuzzy system to solve the collaborative filtering problems. In order to verify the prediction system, we used the data that is user's rating about movies. We predicted the user's rating using this data. The accuracy of this prediction system is determined by computing the RMSE(root mean square error) of the system's prediction against the actual rating about the each movie and is compared with the existing system. Thus, this prediction system can be applied to base technology of recommendation system and also recommendation of multimedia such as music and books.

It is not easy for the user to find the information that is appropriate for the user among the suddenly increasing information in recent years. One of the ways to help individuals make decisions in such a lot of information is the recommendation system. Although there are many recommendation methods for such recommendation systems, a representative method is collaborative filtering. In this paper, we design and implement the movie recommendation system on user-based collaborative filtering of apache mahout. In addition, Pearson correlation coefficient is used as a method of measuring the similarity between users. We evaluate Precision and Recall using the MovieLens 100k dataset for performance evaluation.

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 recent years, deep learning techniques have achieved tremendous successes in natural language processing, speech recognition and image processing. Collaborative filtering(CF) recommendation is one of widely used methods and has significant effects in implementing the new recommendation function, but it also has limitations in dealing with the problem of poor scalability, cold start and data sparsity, etc. Combining the traditional recommendation algorithm with the deep learning model has brought great opportunity for the construction of a new recommender system. In this paper, we propose a novel collaborative recommendation model based on auxiliary stacked denoising autoencoder(ASDAE), the model learns effective the preferences of users from auxiliary information. Firstly, we integrate auxiliary information with rating information. Then, we design a stacked denoising autoencoder based collaborative recommendation model to learn the preferences of users from auxiliary information and rating information. Finally, we conduct comprehensive experiments on three real datasets to compare our proposed model with state-of-the-art methods. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed model is superior to other recommendation methods.
