With the rapid development of information technology, social media has been widely used, and Internet information has been exploded, and consumers may experience information overload. Recommender systems using the social recommendation method that integrates social relationship information can provide users with target information that meets their needs. However, most of the existing methods only rely on the user’s ordinary friends to make recommendations, neglecting another influential group, the opinion leaders. In this study, we propose a new social recommendation method based on opinion leaders. The proposed method assumes that the influence of the opinion leader on the user is much greater than that of the user’s ordinary friends. The experimental results on two real datasets show that the proposed method not only has a better recommendation effect than the state-of-the-art recommendation algorithms, but also has a good performance in the cases of cold-start users.
The main objective of this study was to determine the consolidation behaviour of clay slurries.A finegrained clay with high consistency limits(W_L = 180%,w_P= 120%) was investigated using conventional oedometer and bench-top centrifuge tests.Results indicated that the slurry had an apparent preconsolidation(due to initial conditions,electrochemical interactions,tortuous drainage,and thixotropic strength) from e = 5.7 to e = 5.5 followed by virgin compression.Likewise,the low hydraulic conductivity(10~(-10)-10~(-12) m/s) was due to low porosity(small pore throats) and high tortuosity(long flow paths).Unlike consolidation of soils,the c_v and m_v decreased with increasing σ' but increased with increasing e and k.The data from the two tests correlated well in the range of σ' = 10-65 kPa,e = 5.5-3.86,k= 1.7 × 10~(-10)-5×10~(-11) m/s,F_c = 1-40 MN.New equations were developed to correlate the consolidation parameters(e,σ',k) with F_c.The deviation of k beyond 40 MN(e = 4.65) was due to deviation from the initial straight line portion of the settlement curve in the centrifuge test. 相似文献
