چکیده
recommender systems (rs) provide personalized recommendation according to user need by analyzing behavior of users and gathering their information. one of the algorithms used in recommender systems is user-based collaborative filtering (cf) method. the idea is that if users have similar preferences in the past, they will probably have similar preferences in the future. the important part of collaborative filtering algorithms is allocated to determine similarity between objects. similarities between objects are classified to user-based similarity and item-based similarity. the most popular used similarity metrics in recommender systems are pearson correlation coefficient, spearman rank correlation, and cosine similarity measure. until now, little computation has been made for optimal similarity in collaborative filtering by researchers.for this reason, in thisresearch, weproposean optimal similaritymeasure via a simple linear combination of values and ratio of ratings for user-based collaborative filtering by use offireflyalgorithm; and we compare our experimental results with pearson traditional similarity measure and optimal similarity measure based on genetic algorithm. experimental results on real datasets show that proposed method not only improves recommendation accuracy significantly but also increases quality of prediction and recommendation performance.

متن کاملA NOVEL FUZZY-BASED SIMILARITY MEASURE FOR COLLABORATIVE FILTERING TO ALLEVIATE THE SPARSITY PROBLEM
Memory-based collaborative filtering is the most popular approach to build recommender systems. Despite its success in many applications, it still suffers from several major limitations, including data sparsity. Sparse data affect the quality of the user similarity measurement and consequently the quality of the recommender system. In this paper, we propose a novel user similarity measure based...
متن کاملCollaborative Filtering Similarity Algorithm Using Common Items
Collaborative filtering (CF) plays an important role in reducing information overload by providing personalized services. CF is widely applied, but common items are not taken account in the similarity algorithm, which reduces the recommendation effect. To address this issue, we propose several methods to improve the similarity algorithm by considering common items, and apply the proposed method...

متن کاملA Similarity Measure for Collaborative Filtering with Implicit Feedback
Collaborative Filtering(CF) is a widely accepted method of creating recommender systems. CF is based on the similarities among users or items. Measures of similarity including the Pearson Correlation Coefficient and the Cosine Similarity work quite well for explicit ratings, but do not capture real similarity from the ratings derived from implicit feedback. This paper identifies some problems t...
متن کاملA Combinative Similarity Computing Measure for Collaborative Filtering
Similarity method is the key of the user-based collaborative filtering recommend algorithm. The traditional similarity measures, which cosine similarity, adjusted cosine similarity and Pearson correlation similarity are included, have some advantages such as simple, easy and fast, but with the sparse dataset they may lead to bad recommendation quality. In this article, we first research how the...
