一种基于耦合对象相似度的项目推荐算法

推荐系统根据用户的偏好为用户推荐个性化的信息、产品和服务等,能够帮助用户有效解决信息过载问题。基于内容的协同过滤算法缺少合适的度量指标用来计算项目之间的相似度。提出一种基于耦合对象相似度的项目推荐算法,即通过耦合对象相似度捕获项目特征频率分布相似性和特征依赖聚合相似度。首先从项目文本中抽取项目的关键特征,然后利用耦合对象相似度构建项目相似度模型,最后使用协同过滤的方法为活动用户推荐用户可能感兴趣的项目。在真实数据集上的实验结果表明,基于耦合对象相似度的推荐算法可以有效解决基于内容推荐系统的项目相似度度量问题,在缺失大量项目特征数据的情况下改进传统基于内容推荐系统的推荐质量。     

融合类别信息和用户兴趣度的协同过滤推荐算法

协同过滤直接根据用户的行为记录去预测其可能感兴趣的项目,是现今最成功、应用最广泛的推荐技术。推荐的准确度受相似性度量方法效果的影响。传统的相似性度量方法主要关注用户共同评分项之间的相似度,忽视了评分项目中的类别信息,在面对数据稀疏性问题时存在一定的不足。针对上述问题,提出基于分类信息 的评分矩阵填充方法,结合用户兴趣相似度计算方法并充分考虑到评分项目的类别信息,使得兴趣度的度量更加符合推荐系统应用的实际情况。实验结果表明,该算法可以弥补传统相似性度量方法的不足,缓解评分数据稀疏对协同过滤算法的影响,能够提高推荐的准确性、多样性和新颖性。     

融合正态分布函数相似度的协同过滤算法

传统协同过滤推荐算法的相似度量方法仅考虑用户间共同评分,忽略了用户间潜在共同评分项等信息量对推荐结果的影响。针对上述问题,设计了一种正态分布函数相似度量模型,此模型考虑了用户间的共同评分、共同评分项目数、以及用户的评分值,据此提出了融合正态分布函数相似度的协同过滤算法,该算法通过综合多种评分因素利用正态分布函数和修正的余弦相似度共同度量用户间的相似关系。实验结果表明,在两种数据集上与几种不同的推荐算法相比,该算法的相似度量方法提高了目标用户查找邻近用户集合的准确率,提高了系统的推荐质量。

情感分析在电影推荐系统中的应用

基于用户的协同过滤推荐算法是通过分析用户行为寻找相似用户的集合,其核心是用户兴趣模型的建立以及用户间相似度的计算。传统的用户推荐算法是根据用户评分或者物品信息等行为数据进行个性化推荐,准确率比较低。充分考虑在线评论对于用户之间兴趣相似度的作用,通过对评论的情感分析,构建准确的用户兴趣模型,若用户在评论中表现出来的相似度越高,则表示用户之间的兴趣越相似。实验表明,和传统的基于用户的协同过滤推荐算法相比,基于评论情感分析的协同过滤推荐算法,无论准确率还是召回率都有明显提高。     

用户间多相似度协同过滤推荐算法

传统的User-based协同过滤推荐算法仅采用了单一的评分相似度来度量用户之间对任何项目喜好的相似程度。然而根据日常经验,人们对不同类型事物的喜好程度往往是不同的,单一的评分相似度显然无法准确描述这种不同。针对上述问题,提出了一种基于用户间多相似度的协同过滤推荐算法,即基于用户间对不同项目类型的多个评分相似度来计算用户对未评分项目的预测评分。实验结果表明,该算法可以有效地提高预测评分的准确性及推荐质量。     

基于领域知识的协同过滤推荐算法

传统协同过滤推荐算法中项目相似度的计算建立在用户评分项目交集之上,没有考虑不同项目之间所存在的语义关系,致使推荐准确率低。基于领域知识进行项目相似度计算的协同过滤算法在用户评分的共同项目很少的情况下仍能给出不错的推荐。实验结果表明,该算法可以有效地解决用户评分数据极端稀疏的问题,提高推荐系统的推荐质量。     

基于改进项目相关性度量的协同过滤推荐算法

在计算用户相似度时,传统的协同过滤推荐算法往往只考虑单一的用户评分矩阵,而忽视了项目之间的相关性对推荐精度的影响。对此,本文提出了一种优化的协同过滤推荐模型,在用户最近邻计算时引入项目相关性度量方法,以便使得最近邻用户的选择更准确;此外,在预测评分环节考虑到用户兴趣随时间衰减变化,提出了使用衰减函数来提升评价的时间效应的影响。实验结果表明,本文提出的算法在预测准确率和分类准确率方面均优于基于传统相似性度量的项目协同过滤算法。

Power coefficient as a similarity measure for memory-based collaborative recommender systems

E-commerce systems employ recommender systems to enhance the customer loyalty and hence increasing the cross-selling of products. However, choosing appropriate similarity measure is a key to the recommender system success. Based on this measure, a set of neighbors for the current active user is formed which in turn will be used later to recommend unseen items to this active user. Pearson correlation coefficient, the most popular similarity measure for memory-based collaborative recommender system (CRS), measures how much two users are correlated. However, statistic’s literature introduced many other coefficients for matching two sets (vectors) that may perform better than Pearson correlation coefficient. This paper explores Jaccard and Dice coefficients for matching users of CRS. A more general coefficient called a Power coefficient is proposed in this paper which represents a family of coefficients. Specifically, Power coefficient gives many degrees for emphasizing on the positive matches between users. However, CRS users have positive and negative matches and therefore these coefficients have to be modified to take negative matches into consideration. Consequently, they become more suitable for CRS research. Many experiments are carried out for all the proposed variants and are compared with the traditional approaches. The experimental results show that the proposed variants outperform Pearson correlation coefficient and cosine similarity measure as they are the most common approaches for memory-based CRS.

大数据推荐系统的搜索空间较大导致推荐的响应时间过长。为权衡大数据推荐系统的时间效率和推荐性能,提出一种基于重引力搜索链接预测和评分传播的大数据推荐系统。采用相对相似性指数度量用户的相似性,采用广义Meta Path模型建立相似图;引入社区信息来提高局部链接预测的准确率,从强社区提取优化的子图来实现局部链接的预测,通过重引力搜索对子图做优化处理,从而缩小搜索空间;设计基于传染病模型的网络传播策略,根据已有的模式探索隐藏的模式。基于公开数据集的实验结果表明,该算法有效地提高了推荐系统的准确率和覆盖率,并且响应时间在可接受的范围内。     

一种结合共同邻居和用户评分信息的相似度算法

随着互联网的发展,推荐系统逐步得到广泛应用,协同过滤(CF)是其中运用得最早.最成功的技术之一.CF首先根据用户间的相似度,找出每个用户的近邻;然后根据目标用户近邻的评分预测目标用户的评分;最后把预测评分较高的项目推荐给目标用户.因此相似度计算方法直接关系到预测结果的准确性,对推荐起着至关重要的作用.目前,学者们已从不同的角度提出了各种各样的相似度计算方法,其中共同邻居算法(common-neighbors)是一种简单有效的方法.但此法仅考虑了两用户间的共同邻居数,忽略了用户的具体评分信息.针对这个问题对共同邻居算法进行了改进,同时考虑了共同邻居数和用户的评分信息.实验结果表明,改进的共同邻居算法在一定程度上可提高评分预测的准确性.

An analysis of peer similarity for recommendations in P2P systems

In this paper, we propose a novel recommender framework for partially decentralized file sharing Peer-to-Peer systems. The proposed recommender system is based on user-based collaborative filtering. We take advantage from the partial search process used in partially decentralized systems to explore the relationships between peers. The proposed recommender system does not require any additional effort from the users since implicit rating is used. The recommender system also does not suffer from the problems that traditional collaborative filtering schemes suffer from like the Cold start and the Data sparseness. To measure the similarity between peers, we propose Files?? Popularity Based Recommendation (FP) and Asymmetric Peers?? Similarity Based Recommendation with File Popularity (ASFP). We also investigate similarity metrics that were proposed in other fields and adapt them to file sharing P2P systems. We analyze the impact of each similarity metric on the accuracy of the recommendations. Both weighted and non weighted approaches were studied.     

An efficient hybrid similarity measure based on user interests for recommender systems

Recommender systems are used to suggest items to users based on their interests. They have been used widely in various domains, including online stores, web advertisements, and social networks. As part of their process, recommender systems use a set of similarity measurements that would assist in finding interesting items. Although many similarity measurements have been proposed in the literature, they have not concentrated on actual user interests. This paper proposes a new efficient hybrid similarity measure for recommender systems based on user interests. This similarity measure is a combination of two novel base similarity measurements: the user interest–user interest similarity measure and the user interest–item similarity measure. This hybrid similarity measure improves the existing work in three aspects. First, it improves the current recommender systems by using actual user interests. Second, it provides a comprehensive evaluation of an efficient solution to the cold start problem. Third, this similarity measure works well even when no corated items exist between two users. Our experiments show that our proposed similarity measure is efficient in terms of accuracy, execution time, and applicability. Specifically, our proposed similarity measure achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) as low as 0.42, with 64% applicability and an execution time as low as 0.03 s, whereas the existing similarity measures from the literature achieve an MAE of 0.88 at their best; these results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed similarity measure in terms of accuracy, as well as having a high applicability percentage and a very short execution time.     

A novel social network hybrid recommender system based on hypergraph topologic structure

With the advent and popularity of social network, more and more people like to share their experience in social network. However, network information is growing exponentially which leads to information overload. Recommender system is an effective way to solve this problem. The current research on recommender systems is mainly focused on research models and algorithms in social networks, and the social networks structure of recommender systems has not been analyzed thoroughly and the so-called cold start problem has not been resolved effectively. We in this paper propose a novel hybrid recommender system called Hybrid Matrix Factorization(HMF) model which uses hypergraph topology to describe and analyze the interior relation of social network in the system. More factors including contextual information, user feature, item feature and similarity of users ratings are all taken into account based on matrix factorization method. Extensive experimental evaluation on publicly available datasets demonstrate that the proposed hybrid recommender system outperforms the existing recommender systems in tackling cold start problem and dealing with sparse rating datasets. Our system also enjoys improved recommendation accuracy compared with several major existing recommendation approaches.
