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.

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.

This study is to investigate the effect of the number of co-rated users to the MAE. User based collaborative algorithm generally uses similarity weight to compute the relation of active user and other users. The original estimation algorithm of the GroupLens used the Pearson's correlation coefficient, soon after other researchers used various weighting. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Vector similarity, which is used in the field of information retrieval, are commonly used to the estimation algorithm. In prediction, we analyze the effect of the number of co-rated users on the user based recommender system.

Collaborative filtering approach for recommender systems are now widely applied in e-commerce to assist customers to find their needs from many that are frequently available. this approach makes recommendations for users based on the opinions to similar users in the system. But this approach is opened to users who present their preference to items or acquire the preference information form other users, noise in the system makes significant problem for accurate recommendation. In this paper, we analyze the relationship between the standard deviation of preference ratings for each user and the estimated ratings of them. The result shows that the possibility of the pre-filtering condition which detecting the factor of bad effect on the prediction of user's preference. It is expected that using this result will reduce the possibility of bad effect on recommender systems.

Recommender systems are a personalized information filtering technology to help customers find the products they would like to purchase. Collaborative filtering (CF) has been known to be the most successful recommendation technology. However its widespread use in e-commerce has exposed two research issues, sparsity and scalability. In this paper, we propose several hybrid recommender procedures based on web usage mining, clustering techniques and collaborative filtering to address these issues. Experimental evaluation of suggested procedures on real e-commerce data shows interesting relation between characteristics of procedures and diverse situations.

Collaborative filtering algorithms often encounter data sparsity issues. To overcome this issue, auxiliary information of relevant items is analyzed and an item attribute matrix is derived. In this study, we combine the user-item attribute preference with the traditional similarity calculation method to develop an improved similarity calculation approach and use weights to control the importance of these two elements. A collaborative filtering algorithm based on user-item attribute preference is proposed. The experimental results show that the performance of the recommender system is the most optimal when the weight of traditional similarity is equal to that of user-item attribute preference similarity. Although the rating-matrix is sparse, better recommendation results can be obtained by adding a suitable proportion of user-item attribute preference similarity. Moreover, the mean absolute error of the proposed approach is less than that of two traditional collaborative filtering algorithms.

People's focus steadily shifted toward fashion as a popular aesthetic expression as their quality of life improved. Humans are inevitably drawn to things that are more aesthetically appealing. This human proclivity has resulted in the evolution of the fashion industry over time. However, too many clothing alternatives on e-commerce platforms have created additional obstacles for clients in recognizing their suitable outfit. Thus, in this paper, we proposed a personalized Fashion Recommender system that generates recommendations for the user based on their previous purchases and history. Our model aims to generate recommendations using an image of a product given as input by the user because many times people find something that they are interested in and tend to look for products that are like that. In the system, we first reduce data dimensionality by component analysis to avoid the curse of dimensionality, and then the final suggestion is generated by neural network. To create the final suggestions, we have employed neural networks to evaluate photos from the H&M dataset and a nearest neighbor backed recommender.

서비스 관점에서 구축되는 추천 시스템의 성능은 얼마나 효율적인 추천 모델을 적용하여 심층적으로 설계되었는가에 좌우된다고도 볼 수 있다. 특히, 추천 시스템의 초개인화는 세계적인 추세로 1~2년 전부터 구글, 아마존, 알리바바 등의 데이터 플랫폼 강자들이 경쟁적으로 딥 러닝 기반의 알고리즘을 개발, 자신들의 추천 서비스에 적용하고 있다. 본 연구는 갈수록 고도화되는 추천 시스템으로 인해 발생하는 여러 문제들 중 사용자 또는 서비스 정보가 부족하여 계속적으로 발생하고 있는 Cold-start 문제와 추천할 서비스와 사용자는 지속적으로 늘어나지만 실제로 사용자가 소비하게 되는 서비스의 비율은 현저하게 감소하는 데이터 희소성 문제 (Sparsity Problem)에 대한 솔루션을 모색하는 알고리즘 관점에서 연구하고자 한다. 본 논문은 첫 단계로, 적용하는 메타데이터에 따라 추천 결과의 정확성이 얼마나 차이가 나는지를 보이고 딥러닝 비지도학습 방식을 메타데이터 선정 및 추출에 적용하여 실시간으로 변화하는 소비자의 실제 생활 패턴 및 니즈를 예측해야 하는 필요성에 대해서 기술하고자 한다.

Exhibition industry is important business domains to many countries. Not only lots of countries designated the exhibition industry as tools to stimulate national economics, but also many companies offer millions of service or products to customers. Recommender systems can help visitors navigate through large information spaces of various booths. However, no study before has proposed a methodology for identifying and acquiring prospective visitors although it is important to acquire them. Accordingly, we propose a methodology for identifying, acquiring prospective visitors, and recommending the adequate booth information to their preferences in the exhibition industry. We assume that a visitor will be interested in an exhibition within same class of exhibition taxonomy as exhibition which the visitor already saw. Moreover, we use user-based collaborative filtering in order to recommend personalized booths before exhibition. A prototype recommender system is implemented to evaluate the proposed methodology. Our experiments show that the proposed methodology is better than the item-based CF and have an effect on the choice of exhibition or exhibit booth through automation of word-of-mouth communication.
