A design framework for recommender system by incorporating sequential information
05 Dec 2011-pp 387-390
TL;DR: This work proposes a collaborative-model based recommendation system and considers the sequential information present in web logs for generation of the recommendations, which is a combination of clustering, classification and recommendation engine.
Abstract: Recommender Systems are used for generating recommendations for users with respect to various products and applications. Currently, recommender systems are widely used in e- commerce applications to suggest the appropriate products and services to the users. Sequential information plays an important role for deciding the interests of the user. The proposed system happens to be a collaborative-model based recommendation system and considers the sequential information present in web logs for generation of the recommendations. The model is a combination of clustering, classification and recommendation engine. Clustering has been performed to group users on the basis of sequential and content similarity present in their web page visit sequences. Each cluster represents an interest area or category. Singular value decomposition (SVD) has been used for classification and generating the recommendations for new users.

TL;DR: This work has developed a novel system that considers sequential information present in web navigation patterns, along with content information, which helps in capturing the multiple interests of users in recommendation systems.
Abstract: With the rapid growth of information technology, the current era is witnessing an exponential increase in the generation and collection of web data. Projecting the right information to the right person is becoming more difficult day by day, which in turn adds complexity to the decision making process. Recommendation systems are intelligent systems that address this issue. They are widely used in e-commerce websites to recommend products to users. Most of the popular recommendation systems consider only the content information of users and ignore sequential information. Sequential information also provides useful insights about the behavior of users. We have developed a novel system that considers sequential information present in web navigation patterns, along with content information. We also consider soft clusters during clustering, which helps in capturing the multiple interests of users. The proposed system has utilized similarity upper approximation and singular value decomposition (SVD) for the generation of recommendations for users. We tested our approach on three datasets, the MSNBC benchmark dataset, simulated dataset and CTI dataset. We compared our approach with the first order Markov model as well as random prediction model. The results validate the viability of our approach.

TL;DR: This paper proposed a method to explore the regional cyberspace by employing Internet sequential information flows crawled from social network platforms that uses one kind of Internet information flow to extract cybersspace feature while relevant data collected from the other network platform is used for verification.
Abstract: The study of cyberspace is faced with the challenge of the data shortage and model verification. This paper proposed a method to explore the regional cyberspace by employing Internet sequential information flows crawled from social network platforms. Compared with previous studies which only use one type of data sources for analysis, the main contribution of this manuscript is adopting the scheme that uses one kind of Internet information flow to extract cyberspace feature while relevant data collected from the other network platform is used for verification. Moreover, starting from measuring the informatization level of a region, a modified gravity model is designed by adding the value of informatization level to the traditional method. Then, an information association matrix based on the improved gravity model is constructed for analyzing the characteristics of cyberspace. To demonstrate the efficiency, Fuzhou city is considered as an interesting regional sample in this paper. The reasonable results indicate that the proposed approach is practical for regional cyberspace.

TL;DR: A new method to find Temporal Frequent Itemsets and improve traditional recommender system algorithms is proposed which is tend to recommend newly-risen items and avoid to recommend out-of-date items for users.
Abstract: In recent years, information overload has become a serious problem. There are many recommender system algorithms which help people make decisions about what they want. However, many traditional recommender system algorithms ignore temporal information. In order to utilize temporal information, we propose a new method to find Temporal Frequent Itemsets and improve traditional recommender system algorithms. Our method can combine well with other algorithms. In addition, our method is tend to recommend newly-risen items and avoid to recommend out-of-date items for users. We use our method in two real-world datasets. The results show that the performance of our algorithm is more excellent than the performance of state-of-the-art algorithms.

Abstract: This paper presents an overview of the field of recommender systems and describes the current generation of recommendation methods that are usually classified into the following three main categories: content-based, collaborative, and hybrid recommendation approaches. This paper also describes various limitations of current recommendation methods and discusses possible extensions that can improve recommendation capabilities and make recommender systems applicable to an even broader range of applications. These extensions include, among others, an improvement of understanding of users and items, incorporation of the contextual information into the recommendation process, support for multicriteria ratings, and a provision of more flexible and less intrusive types of recommendations.

TL;DR: This work compares three common approaches to solving the recommendation problem: traditional collaborative filtering, cluster models, and search-based methods, and their algorithm, which is called item-to-item collaborative filtering.
Abstract: Recommendation algorithms are best known for their use on e-commerce Web sites, where they use input about a customer's interests to generate a list of recommended items. Many applications use only the items that customers purchase and explicitly rate to represent their interests, but they can also use other attributes, including items viewed, demographic data, subject interests, and favorite artists. At Amazon.com, we use recommendation algorithms to personalize the online store for each customer. The store radically changes based on customer interests, showing programming titles to a software engineer and baby toys to a new mother. There are three common approaches to solving the recommendation problem: traditional collaborative filtering, cluster models, and search-based methods. Here, we compare these methods with our algorithm, which we call item-to-item collaborative filtering. Unlike traditional collaborative filtering, our algorithm's online computation scales independently of the number of customers and number of items in the product catalog. Our algorithm produces recommendations in real-time, scales to massive data sets, and generates high quality recommendations.

TL;DR: From basic techniques to the state-of-the-art, this paper attempts to present a comprehensive survey for CF techniques, which can be served as a roadmap for research and practice in this area.
Abstract: As one of the most successful approaches to building recommender systems, collaborative filtering (CF) uses the known preferences of a group of users to make recommendations or predictions of the unknown preferences for other users. In this paper, we first introduce CF tasks and their main challenges, such as data sparsity, scalability, synonymy, gray sheep, shilling attacks, privacy protection, etc., and their possible solutions. We then present three main categories of CF techniques: memory-based, modelbased, and hybrid CF algorithms (that combine CF with other recommendation techniques), with examples for representative algorithms of each category, and analysis of their predictive performance and their ability to address the challenges. From basic techniques to the state-of-the-art, we attempt to present a comprehensive survey for CF techniques, which can be served as a roadmap for research and practice in this area.

TL;DR: The feasibility of automatic recognition of recommendations is supported by empirical results and some resources are recommended by more than one person, and these multiconfirmed recommendations appear to be significant resources for the relevant community.
Abstract: The feasibility of automatic recognition of recommendations is supported by empirical results. First, Usenet messages are a significant source of recommendations of Web resources: 23% of Usenet messages mention Web resources, and ?>0% of these mentions are recommendations. Second, recommendation instances can be machine-recognized with nearly 90% accuracy. Third, some resources are recommended by more than one person. These multiconfirmed recommendations appear to be significant resources for the relevant community. Finally, the number of distinct recommenders of a resource is a tallying, and redistributing recom-
