This study is to propose a procedure solving scale problem of traditional collaborative filtering (CF) approach. The CF approach generally uses some similarity measures like correlation coefficient. So, as the user of the Website increases, the complexity of computation increases exponentially. To solve the scale problem, this study suggests a clustering model-based approach using Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and RFM (Recency, Frequency, Momentary) method. SOM clusters users into some user groups. The preference score of each item in a group is computed using RFM method. The items are sorted and stored in their preference score order. If an active user logins in the system, SOM determines a user group according to the user's characteristics. And the system recommends items to the user using the stored information for the group. If the user evaluates the recommended items, the system determines whether it will be updated or not. Experimental results applied to MovieLens dataset show that the proposed method outperforms than the traditional CF method comparatively in the recommendation performance and the computation complexity.

The purpose of this study was to improve the experience of visiting obstetrics and gynecology of single women. After analyzing previous studies on Korean single women's perception of visiting obstetrics and gynecology, Contextual Interviews and Cultural Probes were conducted on single women in their 20s who visited obstetrics and gynecology. Based on this, personas were constructed to solidify the direction of problem solving by identifying the behavioral patterns and characteristics of single women. In this study, factors that hinder unmarried women's visits to obstetrics and gynecology and improvement measures were derived based on the information obtained using service design tools such as User Journey Mapping and Stakeholders' Map. Afterwards, a preference survey was conducted to increase the persuasiveness of the proposed method. The follow-up research task is to produce and propose the derived solution as a prototype that can be used in the actual field, and then proceed with user evaluation.

Image enhancement is a necessary end essential step after taking a picture with a digital camera. Many different photo software packages attempt to automate this process with various auto enhancement techniques. This paper provides and implements a system that can learn a user's preferences and apply the preferences into the process of image enhancement. Five major components are applied to the implemented system, which are computing a distance metric, finding a training set, finding an optimal parameter set, training and finally enhancing the input image. To estimate the validity of the method, we carried out user studies, and the fact that the implemented system was preferred over the method without learning user preferences.

As the use of mobile device is increasing rapidly, the number of users is also increasing. However, most of the app stores are using recommendation of simple ranking method, so the accuracy of recommendation is lower. To recommend an item that is more appropriate to the user, this paper proposes a technique that reflects the weight of user information and recent preference degree of item. The proposed technique classifies the data set by categories and then derives a predicted value by applying the user's information weight to the collaborative filtering technique. To reflect the recent preference degree of item by categories, the average of items' rating values in the designated period is computed. An item is recommended by combining the two result values. The experiment result indicated that the proposed method has been more enhanced the accuracy, appropriacy, compared to item-based, user-based method.

The rise of music resources has led to a parallel rise in the need to manage thousands of songs on user devices. So users are tend to build play-list for manage songs. However the manual selection of songs for creating play-list is bothersome task. This paper proposes an auto play-list recommendation system considering user's context of use and preference. This system has two separate systems: mood and emotion classification system and music recommendation system. Users need to choose just one seed song for reflection their context of use and preference. The system recommends songs before the current song ends in order to fill up user play-list. User also can remove unsatisfied songs from recommended song list to adapt user preferences of the system for the next recommendation precess. The generated play-lists show well defined mood and emotion of music and provide songs that user preferences are reflected.

When we buy items in online stores, it is common to face recommended items that meet our interest. These recommendation system help users not only to find out related items, but also find new things that may interest users. Recommendation system has been widely studied and various models has been suggested such as, collaborative filtering and content-based filtering. Though collaborative filtering shows good performance for predicting users preference, there are some conditions where collaborative filtering cannot be applied. Sparsity in user data causes problems in comparing users. Systems which are newly starting or companies having small number of users are also hard to apply collaborative filtering. Content-based filtering should be used to support this conditions, but content-based filtering has some drawbacks and weakness which are tendency of recommending similar items, and keeping history of a user makes recommendation simple and not able to follow up users preference changes. To overcome this drawbacks and limitations, we suggest weighted window assisted user history based recommendation system, which captures user's purchase patterns and applies them to window weight adjustment. The system is capable of following current preference of a user, removing useless recommendation and suggesting items which cannot be simply found by users. To examine the performance under user and data sparsity environment, we applied data from start-up trading company. Through the experiments, we evaluate the operation of the proposed recommendation system.

With the advent of the 5G era, smart phones and communications network technology have progressed, and mobile short video of people's life can be made, Of the new tools of communication, at present, China's social short video industry has shown rapid development, and the most representative of the short video app is Douyin (international version: Tiktok). Under the background of Uses and Gratifications Theory, this study discusse the relationship between Douyin users' preference degree, use motivation, use satisfaction and attention intention. This study divides the content of Douyin video into 10 categories, selects the form of an online questionnaire survey, uses SPSS software to conduct quantitative analysis of 202 questionnaires after screening, and finally draws the following conclusions: (1) The content preference degree of Douyin short video (the high group and low group) is different in users' use motivation, users' satisfaction degree and users' attention intention. ALL results are within the range of statistical significance.(2) Douyin users' video content preference degree has a positive impact on users' use motivation, users' satisfaction degree, and users' attention intention. (3) Douyin users' motivation has a positive impact on users' satisfaction and user' attention intention. (4) Douyin users' satisfaction degree has a positive impact on users' attention intention. Based on the research results, we suggest that Douyin platform pushes videos according to users' preferences. In addition, as the preference degree has an impact on users' motivation, satisfaction degree and attention intention of using the platform, it is important that the platform's focus should to pay attention to the preference degree of users. Collecting users' preferences at the early stage of users' entering the platform is a good way to learn from, and doing a good job of big data collection and management in the later operation.
