融合信任关系和用户项目二部图的推荐算法

传统冷启动和数据稀疏性问题是推荐系统面临的两大难题。现有的大多数基于矩阵分解的推荐方法将用户孤立对待,忽略了用户之间的信任关系,从而导致推荐性能低效。提出一种融合信任关系和用户项目二部结构的矩阵分解推荐方法。该方法在对评分矩阵进行分解的基础上,加入用户信任关系和用户项目二部图结构信息,采用梯度下降算法训练模型参数。Epinions数据集上的对比实验表明,该方法有效提高了推荐系统的准确性和可靠性,尤其在冷启动和稀疏数据情况下,其推荐精度明显优于传统的推荐方法。     

Integrating ontology technology with folksonomies for personalized social tag recommendation

Social tagging systems leverage social interoperability by facilitating the searching, sharing, and exchanging of tagging resources. A major drawback of existing social tagging systems is that social tags are used as keywords in keyword-based search. They focus on keywords and human interpretability rather than on computer interpretable semantic knowledge. Therefore, social tags are useful for information sharing and organizing, but they lack the computer-interpretability needed to facilitate a personalized social tag recommendation. An interesting issue is how to automatically generate a personalized social tag recommendation list to users when a resource is accessed by users. The novel solution proposed in this study is a hybrid approach based on semantic tag-based resource profile and user preference to provide personalized social tag recommendation. Experiments show that the Precision and Recall of the proposed hybrid approach effectively improves the accuracy of social tag recommendation.     

融合社会网络与信任度的个性化推荐方法研究

针对协同推荐技术存在的数据稀疏性和恶意评价行为等问题, 提出了一种新颖的基于社会网络的协同过滤推荐算法。该方法借助社会网络分析技术对协同推荐方法加以改进, 结合用户信任关系与用户自身兴趣, 通过计算网络节点的可信度来消减虚假评分或恶意评分给推荐系统带来的负面影响, 从而提高了推荐系统的准确度。实验表明, 相对于传统的协同过滤算法, 该算法可以有效缓解用户评分稀疏性及恶意评价行为带来的问题, 显著提高推荐系统的推荐质量。     

基于用户兴趣和社交信任的聚类推荐算法

个性化推荐系统中使用最广泛的算法是协同过滤算法,针对该算法存在的数据稀疏和扩展性差问题,提出了一种基于用户兴趣和社交信任的聚类推荐算法。该算法首先基于聚类技术根据用户评分信息将具有相同兴趣的用户聚为一类,并建立基于用户兴趣相近的邻居集合。为了提高兴趣相似度计算的准确性,采用了修正余弦计算公式来消除评分标准的差异问题。然后,引入信任机制,通过定义直接信任、间接信任、传递路径和计算方法来度量社交网络用户之间隐含的信任值,将社交网络转换为信任网络,依据信任程度来创建基于社交信任的邻居集合。通过加权的方式将基于两种邻居集合的预测值融合起来为用户产生项目的推荐。在Douban数据集上进行仿真实验,确定了最优的协调因子值和分类数值,并与基于用户的协同过滤算法和基于信任的推荐算法进行对比,实验结果表明,所提算法的平均绝对误差(MAE)减少了6.7%,准确率(precision)、覆盖(recall)和F1值分别增加了25%、40%和37%,有效提高了推荐系统的推荐质量。     

信任社交网络中基于图熵的个性化推荐算法

随着社交网络的飞速发展引起了人们对推荐系统（RS）的广泛关注。针对社交网络中现有推荐方法仍存在冷启动问题以及未考虑用户所处的社交网络信息的情况，提出了在信任社交网络中基于图熵的个性化推荐算法（PRAGE）。首先，根据用户物品和它们之间的反馈信息建立用户物品图（UIG），同时引入信任机制建立用户信任图（UTG）；其次，通过对两个图使用随机游走算法得到用户与物品的初始相似度和基于信任机制的新的用户物品相似度；重复随机游走过程直至相似度稳定到收敛值；然后，使用UIG和UTG的图熵对两组相似度进行加权并最终相应地得出目标用户的最终推荐列表。在真实的数据集Epinions和FilmTrust上的实验结果表明，相比经典的基于随机游走算法，PRAGE的精确率分别提高了34.7%和19.4%，召回率分别提高了28.9%和21.1%，能够有效地缓解推荐的冷启动问题且在精确率和覆盖率指标上均优于对比算法。

Redundant correlation effect on personalized recommendation

The high-order redundant correlation effect is investigated for a hybrid algorithm of heat conduction and mass diffusion (HHM), through both heat conduction biased (HCB) and mass diffusion biased (MDB) correlation redundancy elimination processes. The HCB and MDB algorithms do not introduce any additional tunable parameters, but keep the simple character of the original HHM. Based on two empirical datasets, the Netflix and MovieLens, the HCB and MDB are found to show better recommendation accuracy for both the overall objects and the cold objects than the HHM algorithm. Our work suggests that properly eliminating the high-order redundant correlations can provide a simple and effective approach to accurate recommendation.

A semantic-expansion approach to personalized knowledge recommendation

The rapid propagation of the Internet and information technologies has changed the nature of many industries. Fast response and personalized recommendations have become natural trends for all businesses. This is particularly important for content-related products and services, such as consulting, news, and knowledge management in an organization. The digital nature of their products allows for more customized delivery over the Internet. To provide personalized services, however, a complete understanding of user profile and accurate recommendation are essential.In this paper, an Internet recommendation system that allows customized content to be suggested based on the user's browsing profile is developed. The method adopts a semantic-expansion approach to build the user profile by analyzing documents previously read by the person. Once the customer profile is constructed, personalized contents can be provided by the system. An empirical study using master theses in the National Central library in Taiwan shows that the semantic-expansion approach outperforms the traditional keyword approach in catching user interests. The proper usage of this technology can increase customer satisfaction.     

A cognitive approach for agent-based personalized recommendation

There is an increasing need for various e-service, e-commerce and e-business sites to provide personalized recommendations to on-line customers. This paper proposes a new type of personalized recommendation agents called fuzzy cognitive agents. Fuzzy cognitive agents are designed to give personalized suggestions based on the user’s current personal preferences, other user’s common preferences, and expert’s domain knowledge. Fuzzy cognitive agents are able to represent knowledge via extended fuzzy cognitive maps, to learn users’ preferences from most recent cases and to help customers make inferences and decisions through numeric computation instead of symbolic and logic deduction. A case study is included to illustrate how personalized recommendations are made by fuzzy cognitive agents in e-commerce sites. The case study demonstrates that the fuzzy cognitive agent is both flexible and effective in supporting e-commerce applications.

A novel method for personalized music recommendation

With the development of digital music technologies, it is an interesting and useful issue to recommend the ‘favored music’ from large amounts of digital music. Some Web-based music stores can recommend popular music which has been rated by many people. However, three problems that need to be resolved in the current methods are: (a) how to recommend the ‘favored music’ which has not been rated by anyone, (b) how to avoid repeatedly recommending the ‘disfavored music’ for users, and (c) how to recommend more interesting music for users besides the ones users have been used to listen. To achieve these goals, we proposed a novel method called personalized hybrid music recommendation, which combines the content-based, collaboration-based and emotion-based methods by computing the weights of the methods according to users’ interests. Furthermore, to evaluate the recommendation accuracy, we constructed a system that can recommend the music to users after mining users’ logs on music listening records. By the feedback of the user’s options, the proposed methods accommodate the variations of the users’ musical interests and then promptly recommend the favored and more interesting music via consecutive recommendations. Experimental results show that the recommendation accuracy achieved by our method is as good as 90%. Hence, it is helpful for recommending the ‘favored music’ to users, provided that each music object is annotated with the related music emotions. The framework in this paper could serve as a useful basis for studies on music recommendation.
