Although there were some technological developments in improving the collaborative filtering, they have yet to fully reflect the actual relation of the items. In this paper, we propose the recommendation system using associative web document classification by word frequency and ${\alpha}$-cut to address the short comings of the collaborative filtering. The proposed method extracts words from web documents through the morpheme analysis and accumulates the weight of term frequency. It makes associative rules and applies the weight of term frequency to its confidence by using Apriori algorithm. And it calculates the similarity among the words using the hypergraph partition. Lastly, it classifies related web document by using ${\alpha}$-cut and calculates similarity by using adjusted cosine similarity. The results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the existing methods.

Collaborative Filtering (CF) suffers from two major problems:sparsity and cold-start recommendation. This paper focuses on the cold-start problem for new customers with no purchase records and the sparsity problem for the customers with very few purchase records. For the purpose, we propose a method for the new customer recommendation by using a combined measure based on three well-used centrality measures to identify the customers who are most likely to become neighbors of the new customer. To alleviate the sparsity problem, we also propose a hybrid approach that applies our method to customers with very few purchase records and CF to the other customers with sufficient purchases. To evaluate the effectiveness of our method, we have conducted several experiments using a data set from a department store in Korea. The experiment results show that the combination of two measures makes better recommendations than not only a single measure but also the best-seller-based method and that the performance is improved when applying the hybrid approach.

Lately, In addition to the increased interest in the big data field, there is also a growing interest in application fields through the processing of big data. Opinion Mining is a big data processing technique that is widely used in providing personalized service to users. Based on this, in this paper, textual review of users' places is processed by Opinion mining technique and the sentiment of users was analyzed through k-means clustering. The same numerical value is given to users who have a similar category of sentiment classified as a clustering operation. We propose a method to show recommendation contents to users by predicting preference using collaborative filtering recommendation system with assigned numerical values and marking contents with markers on the map in order of places with high predicted value.

To provide context-aware music recommendation service, first of all, we need to catch music mood that a user prefers depending on his situation or context. Among various music characteristics, music mood has a close relation with people‘s emotion. Based on this relationship, some researchers have studied on music mood detection, where they manually select a representative segment of music and classify its mood. Although such approaches show good performance on music mood classification, it's difficult to apply them to new music due to the manual intervention. Moreover, it is more difficult to detect music mood because the mood usually varies with time. To cope with these problems, this paper presents an automatic method to classify the music mood. First, a whole music is segmented into several groups that have similar characteristics by structural information. Then, the mood of each segments is detected, where each individual's preference on mood is modelled by regression based on Thayer's two-dimensional mood model. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 80% or higher accuracy.

Collaborative tagging systems allow users to attach tags to diverse sharable contents in social networks. These tags provide usefulness in reusing the contents for all community members as well as their creators. Three-dimensional data composed of users, items, and tags are used in the collaborative tag-based recommendation. They are generally more voluminous and sparse than two-dimensional data composed of users and items. Therefore, there are many difficulties in applying existing collaborative filtering methods directly to them. Latent factor models, which are also successful in the area of collaborative filtering recently, discover latent features(factors) for explaining observed values and solve problems based on the features. However, establishing the models require much time and efforts. In order to apply the latent factor models to three-dimensional collaborative filtering data, we have to overcome the difficulty of establishing them. This paper proposes various methods for determining preferences of users to items via establishing an intuitive model by assuming tags used for items as latent factors to users and items respectively. They are compared using real data for concluding desirable directions.

Trust as one of important social relations has attracted much attention from researchers in the field of social network-based recommender systems. In trust network-based recommender systems, there exist normally two roles for users, truster and trustee. Most of trust-based methods generally utilize explicit links between truster and trustee to find similar neighbors for recommendation. However, there possibly exist implicit correlations between users, especially for users with the same role (truster or trustee). In this paper, we propose a novel Collaborative Filtering method called CF-TC, which exploits Trust Context to discover implicit correlation between users with the same role for recommendation. In this method, each user is first represented by the same-role users who are co-occurring with the user. Then, similarities between users with the same role are measured based on obtained user representation. Finally, two variants of our method are proposed to fuse these computed similarities into traditional collaborative filtering for rating prediction. Using two publicly available real-world Epinions and Ciao datasets, we conduct comprehensive experiments to compare the performance of our proposed method with some existing benchmark methods. The results show that CF-TC outperforms other baseline methods in terms of RMSE, MAE, and recall.

Color planning system can be treated as a decision support system which includes both the recommendation of main color and harmonious colors. In this paper, we propose techniques that are useful to enhance the harmonious color recommendation with the main color selected by user. In order to reflect the knowledge about suggestion of harmonious colors, we use Ostwald color harmony theory, that is very systematical and easy to implement. Actually, Ostwald color space is similar to HMMD color model in MPEG-7. Due to the similarity between two color spaces, Ostwald color space can be represented as a virtual HMMD color space. Accordingly, we propose a technique to align the HMMD color space with Ostwald color space, thereby it is capable of enhancing a performance to search the harmonious colors according to Ostwald harmony theory. For recommendation of delicate and more exquisite harmonious colors in equal hue plane, we made the virtual color space continuous. The system can recommend various harmonious colors according to Ostwald color harmony. He(she) can select harmonious colors among the suggestions from the system.

The increasing number of multimedia content offered to the user demands content recommendation. In this paper, we propose a system for recommending content related to the content that user is watching. In the proposed system, relationship information between content is generated using relationship information between representative keywords of content. Relationship information between keywords is generated by analyzing keyword collocation frequencies in Internet news corpus. In order to handle big corpus data, we design an architecture that consists of a distributed search engine and a distributed data processing engine. Furthermore, we store relationship information between keywords and relationship information between keywords and content in NoSQL to handle big relationship data. Because the query optimizer of NoSQL is not as well developed as RDBMS, we propose query optimization techniques to efficiently process complex queries for recommendation. Experimental results show that the performance is improved by up to 69 times by using the proposed techniques, especially when the number of requested related keywords is small.
