A Hybrid Collaborative Filtering Approach for Recommendations

Collaborative recommender system has been an important and popular approach in making recommendations. However, it suffers with the cold start and sparsity problems. Therefore, to alleviate the problems, we have combined a set similarity and user evaluation method in collaborative filtering by introducing some additional weight parameters. Further, we optimize these parameters by Particle Swarm...

Collaborative groups in a medical learning environment

This paper addresses collaborative learning in the medical domain, focusing on the evaluation of a component specially devised to promote collaborative learning using the AMPLIA system. AMPLIA is an intelligent multi-agent environment that supports diagnostic reasoning and the modeling of diagnostic hypotheses in the medical domain. Recently it has been extended with a new component providing a...

Fragments for Composing Collaborative Systems

Collaborative systems are characterized by groups or communities jointly working to accomplish some organizational goal. Members of the communities must coordinate their efforts to ensure that such goals are met. Development of collaborative systems can be facilitated by identifying common aspects of such coordination and by constructing product method fragments that can be composed into workin...
