Collaborative filtering systems based on ｛user-document｝ matrix are effective in recommending web documents to user. But they have a shortcoming of decreasing the accuracy of recommendations by the first rater problem and the sparsity. This paper proposes the automatic preference rating method that generates user profile to solve the shortcoming. The profile in this paper is content-based collaborative user profile. The content-based collaborative user profile is generated by combining a content-based user profile with a collaborative user profile by mutual information method. Collaborative user profile is based on ｛user-document｝ matrix in collaborative filtering system, thus, content-based user profile is generated by relevance feedback in content-based filtering systems. After normalizing combined content-based collaborative user profiles, it automatically rates user preference by reflecting normalized profile in ｛user-document｝matrix of collaborative filtering systems. We evaluated our method on a large database of user ratings for web document and it was certified that was more efficient than existent methods.

Collaborative filtering is one of the methodologies that are most widely used for recommendation system. It is based on a data matrix of each customer's preferences of products. There could be a lot of missing values in such preference data matrix. This incomplete data is one of the reasons to deteriorate the accuracy of recommendation system. There are several treatments to deal with the incomplete data problem such as case deletion and single imputation. Those approaches are simple and easy to implement but they may provide biased results. Multiple imputation method imputes m values for each missing value. It overcomes flaws of single imputation approaches through considering the uncertainty of missing values. The objective of this paper is to suggest multiple imputation-based collaborative filtering approach for recommendation system to improve the accuracy in prediction performance. The experimental works show that the proposed approach provides better performance than the traditional Collaborative filtering approach, especially in case that there are a lot of missing values in dataset used for recommendation system.

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.

Recently, the popularity of the recommendation system and the evaluation of the performance of the algorithm of the recommendation system have become important. In this study, we used modeling and RMSE to verify the effectiveness of various algorithms in movie data. The data of this study is based on user-based collaborative filtering using Pearson correlation coefficient, item-based collaborative filtering using cosine correlation coefficient, and item-based collaborative filtering model using singular value decomposition. As a result of evaluating the scores with three recommendation models, we found that item-based collaborative filtering accuracy is much higher than user-based collaborative filtering, and it is found that matrix recommendation is better when using matrix decomposition.

Recent recommender system uses a method of combining collaborative filtering system and content based filtering system in order to solve sparsity and first rater problem in collaborative filtering system. Collaborative filtering systems use a database about user preferences to predict additional topics. Content based filtering systems provide recommendations by matching user interests with topic attributes. In this paper, we describe a method for discovery of user preference through combining two techniques for recommendation that allows the application of machine learning algorithm. The proposed collaborative filtering method clusters user using genetic algorithm based on items categorized by Naive Bayes classifier and the content based filtering method builds user profile through extracting user interest using relevance feedback. We evaluate our method on a large database of user ratings for web document and it significantly outperforms previously proposed methods.

Pervasive computing and social network are good resources in recommendation method. Collaborative filtering is one of the most popular recommendation methods, but it has some limitations such as rating sparsity. Moreover, it does not consider social network in pervasive computing environment. We propose an effective proactive friend recommendation method using social network and contexts in pervasive computing environment. In collaborative filtering method, users need to rate sufficient number of items. However, many users don't rate items sufficiently, because the rating information must be manually input into system. We solve the rating sparsity problem in the collaboration filtering method by using contexts. Our method considers both a static and a dynamic friendship using contexts and social network. It makes more effective recommendation. This paper describes a new friend recommendation method and then presents a music friend scenario. Our work will help e-commerce recommendation system using collaborative filtering and friend recommendation applications in social network services.

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the digital revolution is taking place, various attempts have been made to provide various contents in a digital environment. In this paper, agent-recruitment service system based on collaborative deep learning is proposed for the intelligent head hunting service. The service system is improved from previous research [7] using collaborative deep learning for more reliable recommendation results. The Collaborative deep learning is a hybrid recommendation algorithm using "Recurrent Neural Network(RNN)" specialized for exponential calculation, "collaborative filtering" which is traditional recommendation filtering methods, and "KNN-Clustering" for similar user analysis. The proposed service system can expect more reliable recommendation results than previous research and showed high satisfaction in user survey for verification.

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.

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 based on mongoDB. 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.
