In this paper, we intend to find user's TV program choosing pattern and, recommend programs that he/she wants. So we suggest item dependency map which express relation between chosen program. Using an algorithm that we suggest, we can recommend an program, which a user has not saw yet but maybe is likely to interested in. Item dependency map is used as patterns for association in hopfield network so we can extract users global program choosing pattern only using users partial information. Hopfield network can extract global information from sub-information. Our algorithm can predict user's inclination and recommend an user necessary information.

협력적 추천 기법은 유사한 이웃의 선호도를 이용하여 고객에게 개인화된 아이템을 추천해 주는 방법으로 비교적 높은 정확도를 보이며 추천 시스템의 중심으로 연구되어져 왔다. 그러나, 지금까지의 추천 시스템은 도메인의 특성을 제대로 고려하지 못한채 추천을 시행함으로써 특정 도메인에서 추천의 정확도가 떨어지는 문제점이 발생하였다. 이러한 문제점들을 보완하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 평균 고객 유사도, 평균 아이템 유사도, 밀집도 등의 추천 선행 평가 척도를 제안하고, 추천 선행평가 척도와 추천의 정확도와의 상관관계를 보이며, 이를 이용하여 짧은 수행시간 안에 추천 적용이 가능한 마케팅 도메인 및 고객군을 선정하는 방법을 제시한다.

본 논문은 사용자의 구매 패턴을 찾아서 사용자가 원하는 상품을 추천하는 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하고 있는 item dependency map은 구매된 상품간의 관계를 수식화 하여 행렬의 형태로 표현한 것이다. Item dependency map의 값은 사용자가 A라는 상품을 구매한 후 B 상품을 살 확률이다. 이런 정보를 가지고 있는 item dependency map은 홉필드 네트웍(Hopfield network)에서 연상을 위한 패턴 값으로 적용된다. 홉필드 네트웍은 각 노드사이의 연결가중치에 기억하고자 하는 것들을 연상시킨 뒤 어떤 입력을 통해서 전체 네트워크가 어떤 평형상태에 도달하는 방식으로 작동되는 신경망 중의 하나이다. 홉필드 네트웍의 특징 중의 하나는 부분 정보로부터 전체 정보를 추출할 수 있는 것이다. 이러한 특징을 가지고 사용자들의 일반적인 구매패턴을 일부 정보만 가지고 예측할 수 있다. Item dependency map은 홉필드 네트웍에서 사용자들의 그룹별 패턴을 학습하는데 사용된다. 따라서 item dependency map이 얼마나 사용자 구매패턴에 대한 정보를 가지고 있는지에 따라 그 결과가 결정되는 것이다. 본 논문은 정확한 item dependency map을 계산해 내는 알고리즘을 주로 논의하겠다.

In this research, we proposed a learner tailoring question recommendation system for web based learning evaluation system. For teaming evaluation process, this system used the item difficulty Each question was stored and managed to the question bank. Item difficulty was recalculated during teaming process and feedback in next course. For learner tailoring question recommendation, learner could choice the teaming part and set the learning difficulty. In application result of proposal method, almost learner could improve learning score by controling teaming difficulty.

In recent years, social network related applications such as WeChat, Facebook, Twitter and so on, have attracted hundreds of millions of people to share their experience, plan or organize, and attend social events with friends. In these operations, plenty of valuable information is accumulated, which makes an innovative approach to explore users' preference and overcome challenges in traditional recommender systems. Based on the study of the existing social network recommendation methods, we find there is an abundant information that can be incorporated into probability matrix factorization (PMF) model to handle challenges such as data sparsity in many recommender systems. Therefore, the research put forward a unified social network recommendation framework that combine tags, trust between users, ratings with PMF. The uniformed method is based on three existing recommendation models (SoRecUser, SoRecItem and SoRec), and the complexity analysis indicates that our approach has good effectiveness and can be applied to large-scale datasets. Furthermore, experimental results on publicly available Last.fm dataset show that our method outperforms the existing state-of-art social network recommendation approaches, measured by MAE and MRSE in different data sparse conditions.

Rating prediction is an important issue in recommender systems, and its accuracy affects the experience of the user and the revenue of the company. Traditional recommender systems use Factorization Machinesfor rating predictions and each feature is selected with the same weight. Thus, there are problems with inaccurate ratings and limited data representation. This study proposes a deep recommendation model based on self-attention Factorization (SAFMR) to solve these problems. This model uses Convolutional Neural Networks to extract features from user and item reviews. The obtained features are fed into self-attention mechanism Factorization Machines, where the self-attention network automatically learns the dependencies of the features and distinguishes the weights of the different features, thereby reducing the prediction error. The model was experimentally evaluated using six classes of dataset. We compared MSE, NDCG and time for several real datasets. The experiment demonstrated that the SAFMR model achieved excellent rating prediction results and recommendation correlations, thereby verifying the effectiveness of the model.

This paper tackles the prevalent challenges faced by existing tourism route recommendation methods, including data sparsity, cold start, and low accuracy. To address these issues, a novel intelligent tourism route recommendation method based on collaborative filtering is introduced. The proposed method incorporates a series of key steps. Firstly, it calculates the interest level of users by analyzing the item attribute rating values. By leveraging this information, the method can effectively capture the preferences and interests of users. Additionally, a user attribute rating matrix is constructed by extracting implicit user behavior preferences, providing a comprehensive understanding of user preferences. Recognizing that user interests can evolve over time, a weight function is introduced to account for the possibility of interest shifting during product use. This weight function enhances the accuracy of recommendations by adapting to the changing preferences of users, improving the overall quality of the suggested tourism routes. The results demonstrate the significant advantages of the approach. Specifically, the proposed method successfully alleviates the problem of data sparsity, enhances neighbor selection, and generates tourism route recommendations that exhibit higher accuracy compared to existing methods.

Recommendation is to offer information which fits user's interests and tastes to provide better services and to reduce information overload. It recently draws attention upon Internet users and information providers. The collaborative filtering is one of the widely used methods for recommendation. It recommends an item to a user based on the reference users' preferences for the target item or the target user's preferences for the reference items. In this paper, we propose a neural network based collaborative filtering method. Our method builds a model by learning correlation between users or items using a multi-layer perceptron. We also investigate integration of diverse information to solve the sparsity problem and selecting the reference users or items based on similarity to improve performance. We finally demonstrate that our method outperforms the existing methods through experiments using the EachMovie data.

Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) have become popular for research and development in many areas. IoT makes a new intelligent network between things, between things and persons, and between persons themselves. Social network service technology is in its infancy, but, it has many benefits. Adjacent users in a social network tend to trust each other more than random pairs of users in the network. In this paper, we propose recommendation technique using social network in Internet of Things environment. We study previous researches about information recommendation, IoT, and social IoT. We proposed SIoT_P(Social IoT Prediction) using social relationships and item-based collaborative filtering. Also, we proposed SR(Social Relationship) using four social relationships (Ownership Object Relationship, Co-Location Object Relationship, Social Object Relationship, Parental Object Relationship). We describe a recommendation scenario using our proposed method.

This paper presents a novel method for evaluating the usefulness of online product recommendation. Previous studies on evaluating recommendation systems have mostly relied on two methods : testing the accuracy of estimating user preferences by recommendation systems, or empirically testing the effectiveness with lab experiments involving human participants. The former does not measure the usefulness directly and hence can be misleading; the latter is expensive in that it requires a working online store System and test participants. In order to address the problems, the proposed approach uses simulation to imitate customer behavior and evaluate the usefulness of recommendation. Models for user behavior and an abstract Internet store are developed for simulation. Actual simulation experiments are performed to illustrate the use of the approach.
