CF systems are widely used in recommendation due to the easy implementation and the outstanding performance. They have several problems such as the sparsity problem, the first-rater problem, and recommending explanation. Many studies are suggested to resolve these problems. While the influence of the sparsity problem lessens as the users' data are accumulated, but the first-rater problem is originated from the CF systems and there are a number of researches to overcome the disadvantages of CF systems based on the content-based methods. Also CF systems are black boxes, providing no explanation of working of the recommendation. In this paper we present a content-based prediction system based on the preference words, which exposes the reasoning behind a recommendation. Our system predicts user's rating of a new movie and we suggest a semiotic network-based method to solve the mismatching problem between the items. For experimental comparison, we used EachMovie and IMDb dataset.

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.

A exisiting recommedation system using association rules has the problem, such as delay of processing speed from a cause of frequent scanning a large data, scalability and accuracy as well. In this paper, using a Implicit method which is not used user's profile for rating, we propose the personalized recommendation system which is a new method using the FP-tree mining based on RFM. It is necessary for us to keep the analysis of RFM method and FP-tree mining to be able to reflect attributes of customers and items based on the whole customers' data and purchased data in order to find the items with high purchasability. The proposed makes frequent items and creates association rule by using the FP-tree mining based on RFM without occurrence of candidate set. We can recommend the items with efficiency, are used to generate the recommendable item according to the basic threshold for association rules with support, confidence and lift. To estimate the performance, the proposed system is compared with existing system. As a result, it can be improved and evaluated according to the criteria of logicality through the experiment with dataset, collected in a cosmetic internet shopping mall.

With the rapid spread of smartphones, it has become common to listen to music everywhere, just like background music in life, so it is necessary to create a music database that can make recommendations according to individual circumstances and conditions. This paper proposes a music recommendation model through social media. Since emotions, situations, time of day, weather, etc. are included in hashtags, it is possible to build a social media-based database that reflects the opinions of various people with collective intelligence. We use web crawling to collect and categorize different hashtags from posts with music title hashtags to use real listeners' opinions about music in a database. Data from social media is used to create a music database, and music is classified in a different way from collaborative filtering, which is mainly used by existing music platforms.

In the massive online fashion market, it is not easy for consumers to find the fashion style they want by keyword search for their preferred style. It can be resolved into consumer needs based fashion recommendation. Most of the existing online shopping sites have collected cumtomer's preference style using the online quastionnair. In this paper, we propose a simple but effective novel model that resolve the traditional method in fashion profiling for consumer's preference style and needs using implicit profiling method. In addition, we proposed a learning model that reflects the characteristics of the images itself through the deep learning-based intelligent preferred fashion model learned from the collected data. We show that the proposed model gave meaningful results through the qualitative evaluation.

Adaptive learning in e-learning has garnered researchers' interest. In it, learning resources could be recommended automatically to achieve a personalized learning experience. There are various ways to realize it. One of the realistic ways is adaptive learning path recommendation, in which learning resources are provided according to learners' requirements. This paper summarizes existing works and proposes an innovative approach. Firstly, a learner-centred concept map is created using graph theory based on the features of the learners and concepts. Then, the approach generates a linear concept sequence from the concept map using the proposed traversal algorithm. Finally, Learning Objects (LOs), which are the smallest concrete units that make up a learning path, are organized based on the concept sequences. In order to realize this step, we model it as a multi-objective combinatorial optimization problem, and an improved immune algorithm (IIA) is proposed to solve it. In the experimental stage, a series of simulated experiments are conducted on nine datasets with different levels of complexity. The results show that the proposed algorithm increases the computational efficiency and effectiveness. Moreover, an empirical study is carried out to validate the proposed approach from a pedagogical view. Compared with a self-selection based approach and the other evolutionary algorithm based approaches, the proposed approach produces better outcomes in terms of learners' homework, final exam grades and satisfaction.

Bias, variance, error and learning are important factors for performance in modeling a big data based recommendation system. The recommendation model in this system must reduce complexity while maintaining the explanatory diagram. In addition, the sparsity of the dataset and the prediction of the system are more likely to be inversely proportional to each other. Therefore, a product recommendation model has been proposed through learning the similarity between products by using a factorization method of the sparsity of the dataset. In this paper, the generalization ability of the model is improved by applying the max-norm regularization as an optimization method for the loss function of this model. The solution is to apply a stochastic projection gradient descent method that projects a gradient. The sparser data became, it was confirmed that the propsed regularization method was relatively effective compared to the existing method through lots of experiment.

Recently, as users' interest for travel increases, research on a travel route recommendation service that replaces the cumbersome task of planning a travel itinerary with automatic scheduling has been actively conducted. The most important and common goal of the itinerary recommendations is to provide the shortest route including popular tour spots near the travel destination. A number of existing studies focused on providing personalized travel schedules, where there was a problem that a survey was required when there were no travel route histories or SNS reviews of users. In addition, implementation issues that need to be considered when calculating the shortest path were not clearly pointed out. Regarding this, this paper presents a quantified method to find out popular tourist destinations using social big data, and discusses problems that may occur when applying the shortest path algorithm and a heuristic algorithm to solve it. To verify the proposed method, 63,000 places information was collected from the Gyeongnam province and big data analysis was performed for the places, and it was confirmed through experiments that the proposed heuristic scheduling algorithm can provide a timely response over the real data.

The explosive growth of cryptocurrency, led by Bitcoin has emerged as a major issue in the financial market recently. As a result, interest in cryptocurrency investment is increasing, but the market opens 24 hours and 365 days a year, price volatility, and exponentially increasing number of cryptocurrencies are provided as risks to cryptocurrency investors. For that reasons, It is raising the need for research to reduct investors' risks by dividing cryptocurrency which is not suitable for recommendation. Unlike the previous studies of maximizing returns by simply predicting the future of cryptocurrency prices or constructing cryptocurrency portfolios by focusing on returns, this paper reflects the tendencies of investors and presents an appropriate recommendation method with interpretation that can reduct investors' risks by selecting suitable Altcoins which are recommended using Apriori algorithm, one of the machine learning techniques, but based on the similarity and association rules of Bitocoin.
