Estimating Collaborative Filtering Technique for Web Personalization
Komal Bashir

2014

World Wide Web is rapidly growing in size and usability. Web personalization is the hub of many e-commerce websites and web portals. It is the process of getting and storing information about site users. Moreover, web personalization helps in analyzing the information and then delivering the required data to the user. A number of techniques are proposed to acquire the better results. Collaborative filtering technique among all technique is better in a way that it provides recommendation to new user, based on the preference of similar users. All personalization techniques suffer from sparsity and black box problem. Association retrieval technique helps in reducing the sparsity and black box problems causing the limited recommendations and results to the new users of the website. To overcome the problem in Collaborative filtering technique gain the better results through this technique by recommending the transitive dependencies of the user to the items selected.

n Implementation of the User-based Collaborative Filtering Algorithm
raja sarath kumar boddu

The explosive growth and availability of data on the internet has caused information overload. Searching for a query is not easy in the sources of information available for the interest of an individual user. Collaborative filtering systems recommend items based upon opinions of people with similar tastes. Collaborative filtering overcomes some difficulties faced by traditional information filtering by eliminating the need for computers to understand the content of the items. Further, collaborative filtering can also recommend articles that are not similar in content to items rated in the past as long as like-minded users have rated the items. Collaborative filtering (CF) is one of the most frequently used techniques in personalized recommendation systems. But currently used CF techniques are based on item rating prediction. We proposed an improved personalized recommended CF algorithm. Hybrid recommender systems or content-boosted technologies are quickly produce high quality recommendations. We have explored content-boosted CF technique which analyzes the user-item matrix to identify relationships between different items, and then use these relationships to indirectly compute recommendations for users. In this paper we analyze different Memorybased CF and Model-based CF techniques. Finally, we experimentally evaluate our results and compare them. The testing results show that in most cases, the improved algorithm that we put forward can improve recommendation quality.

Comparative Analysis of Collaborative Filtering Technique
IOSR Journals

Today it is almost impossible to retrieve information with a keyword search when the information is spread over several pages. The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning. Web personalization is the one application of semantic web usage mining. In this report we have explored comparison of various collaborative filtering techniques. Those techniques are memory based, model based and hybrid collaborative filtering. Our study shows that the performance of hybrid collaborative filtering technique is better than memory based and model based collaborative filtering technique. We have introduced normalization step, which will improve accuracy of traditional collaborative filtering techniques.

RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM USING COLLABORATIVE FILTERING
Nancy Naina

Collaborative filtering is one of the well known and most extensive techniques in recommendation system its basic idea is to predict which items a user would be interested in based on their preferences. Recommendation systems using collaborative filtering are able to provide an accurate prediction when enough data is provided, because this technique is based on the user's preference. User-based collaborative filtering has been very successful in the past to predict the customer's behavior as the most important part of the recommendation system. However, their widespread use has revealed some real challenges, such as data sparsity and data scalability, with gradually increasing the number of users and items.

Collaborative filtering recommender systems taxonomy
Costas Panagiotakis, Vivi Fragopoulou

Knowledge and Information Systems, 2022

In the era of internet access, recommender systems try to alleviate the difficulty that consumers face while trying to find items (e.g., services, products, or information) that better match their needs. To do so, a recommender system selects and proposes (possibly unknown) items that may be of interest to some candidate consumer, by predicting her/his preference for this item. Given the diversity of needs between consumers and the enormous variety of items to be recommended, a large set of approaches have been proposed by the research community. This paper provides a review of the approaches proposed in the entire research area of collaborative filtering recommend systems. To facilitate understanding, we provide a categorization of each approach based on the tools and techniques employed, which results to the main contribution of this paper, a collaborative filtering recommender systems taxonomy. This way, the reader acquires a quick and complete understanding of this research area. Finally, we provide a comparison of collaborative filtering recommender systems according to their ability to efficiently handle well-known drawbacks.

In order to provide an overview of the current state of affairs in this sector and highlight the latest developments in recommender systems, the research papers available in this area were analyzed. The place of recommender systems in the modern world was defined, their relevance and role in people's daily lives in the modern information environment were highlighted. The advantages of recommender systems and their main properties are considered. In order to formally define the concept of recommender systems, a general scheme of recommender systems was provided and a formal task was formulated. A review of different types of recommender systems is carried out. It has been determined that personalized recommender systems can be divided into content filtering-based systems, collaborative filtering-based systems, and hybrid recommender systems. For each type of system, the author defines them and reviews the latest relevant research papers on a particular type of recommender system. The challenges faced by modern recommender systems are separately considered. It is determined that such challenges include the issue of robustness of recommender systems (the ability of the system to withstand various attacks), the issue of data bias (a set of various data factors that lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the recommender system), and the issue of fairness, which is related to discrimination against users of recommender systems. Overall, this study not only provides a comprehensive explanation of recommender systems, but also provides information to a large number of researchers interested in recommender systems. This goal was achieved by analyzing a wide range of technologies and trends in the service sector, which are areas where recommender systems are used.

A Study of User Preference-Based Collaborative Filtering Algorithm
The Ijes The Ijes

A recommendation system is a program which attempts to predict items that users may be interested in, considering their preference and taste. Collaborative filtering is an algorithm which is most commonly used in the recommendation system. It recommends the items that users are interested in with similar preferences. The system finds similar users based on all users' purchase and rating data. However, user preferences can change, and this kind of change may slow down recommendation performances. To upgrade these recommendation performances, this study proposes a user preference-reflected recommendation technique. The precision and MAE of the proposed method were measured, using MovieLens data set. Compared to conventional collaborative filtering techniques, the proposed method revealed better results.

Collaborative filtering: special case in predictive analysis
Ammar Yakan

International Journal of Computer Mathematics, 2005

The data-flow across the internet has come to a point where the human brain is unable to read, analyze, and conclude the hidden knowledge. One way of helping people in their decisions is the classical query search and filters plugged into various available software in use. Still, the last decision is left to humans where the search for the best alternative is not provided by these queries. The need for a sort of an electronic learner has emerged. Such a type of learner has the main task of deciding for the user which preference (decision) he/she is likely to possess on the basis of other users' preferences (decisions). This field of analysis is called collaborative filtering. Learners have varied in performance and thus in acquiring results on the basis of the different algorithms involved. This article introduces the collaborative filter methods, also called recommender systems. Few publications and research have been elaborated on this topic, but the available studies are encouraging.
