Abstract: | The development of social media provides convenience to people’s lives. People’s social relationship and influence on each other is an important factor in a variety of social activities. It is obviously important for the recommendation, while social relationship and user influence are rarely taken into account in traditional recommendation algorithms. In this paper, we propose a new approach to personalized recommendation on social media in order to make use of such a kind of information, and introduce and define a set of new measures to evaluate trust and influence based on users’ social relationship and rating information. We develop a social recommendation algorithm based on modeling of users’ social trust and influence combined with collaborative filtering. The optimal linear relation between them will be reached by the proposed method, because the importance of users’ social trust and influence varies with the data. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms traditional recommendation in terms of recommendation accuracy and stability. |
