Collaborative Filtering Data Sparsity Base on Radial Basis Function

Xingli Liu

Abstract



Faced with the problem of information overload, for the user can find the information you need from the vast of data as soon as possible, namely using collaborative filtering algorithm to solve the data sparse problem. In collaborative filtering using radial basis function neural network to solve the sparsity problem in collaborative filtering. The radial basis function neural network was constructed using a new method. The missing data in users? evaluation matrix was predicted by the radial basis function neural network, and the accuracy of the user similarity calculations was improved. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can well-targeted recommend items for users compared with the classical collaborative filtering algorithm, and it can effectively alleviate the sparsity problem in collaborative filtering.

Keywords


Radial basis function, collaborative filtering, mean absolute error, neural network.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
