Recommendation System based on User Trust and Ratings

Recommendation systems aim at providing the user with large information that will be user-friendly. They are techniques based on the individual’s contribution in rating the items. The main principle of recommendation systems is that it is useful for user’s sharing the same interests. Furthermore, collaborative filtering is a widely used technique for creating recommender systems, and it has been successfully applied in many programs. However, collaborative filtering faces multiple issues that affect the recommended accuracy, including data sparsity and cold start, which is caused by the lack of the user's feedback. To address these issues, a new method called “GlotMF” has been suggested to enhance the collaborative filtering method of recommendation accuracy. Trust-based social networks are also used by modelling the user's preferences and using different user's situations. The experimental results based on real data sets show that the proposed method performs better result compared to trust-based recommendation approaches, in terms of prediction accuracy.
