A cluster validity for optimal configuration of Kohonen maps in e-learning recommendation

A heuristic method for combined optimization of layout design and cluster configuration in continuous productions

Facility layout problems have been generally solved either hierarchically or integrated into other phases of plant design. In this paper, a hybrid method is introduced so that clustering and facilities layout can be simultaneously optimized. Each cluster is formed by a group of connected facilities and selection of the most appropriate cluster configuration is aimed. Since exact method by MIP i...

A Framework for Recommendation of courses in E-learning System

The course recommendation system in e-learning is a system that suggests the best combination of subjects in which the students are interested. In this paper, we propose a framework for recommendation of courses in the E-learning system. In our approach we collect the data for example student enrollment for a specific set of course. After getting data, we use different combination of algorithm ...

Learning Optimal Social Dependency for Recommendation

Social recommender systems exploit users’ social relationships to improve the recommendation accuracy. Intuitively, a user tends to trust different subsets of her social friends, regarding with different scenarios. Therefore, the main challenge of social recommendation is to exploit the optimal social dependency between users for a specific recommendation task. In this paper, we propose a novel...

Intelligent Recommendation System for e-learning Platforms

As more and more digital resources are available, finding the appropriate document becomes harder. Thus, a new kind of tools, able to recommend the more appropriated resources according the user needs, becomes even more necessary. The current project implements an intelligent recommendation system for elearning platforms. The recommendations are based on one hand, the performance of the user du...
