Unison-CF: A Multiple-Component, Adaptive Collaborative Filtering System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present the Unison-CF algorithm, which provides an efficient way to combine multiple collaborative filtering approaches, drawing advantages from each one of them. Each collaborative filtering approach is treated as a separate component, allowing the Unison-CF algorithm to be easily extended. We evaluate the Unison-CF algorithm by applying it on three existing filtering approaches: User-based Filtering, Item-based Filtering and Hybrid-CF. Adaptation is utilized and evaluated as part of the filtering approaches combination. Our experiments show that the Unison-CF algorithm generates promising results in improving the accuracy and coverage of the existing filtering algorithms. keywords: collaborative filtering, memory-based filtering, adaptation, personalization, prediction, recommender systems

Use of Semantic Similarity and Web Usage Mining to Alleviate the Drawbacks of User-Based Collaborative Filtering Recommender Systems
One of the most famous methods for recommendation is user-based Collaborative Filtering (CF). This system compares active user’s items rating with historical rating records of other users to find similar users and recommending items which seems interesting to these similar users and have not been rated by the active user. As a way of computing recommendations, the ultimate goal of the user-ba...

Collaborative Filtering (CF) is the most widely used prediction technique in Recommendation System (RS). Most of the current CF recommender systems maintains single criteria user rating in user-item matrix. However, recent studies indicate that recommender system depending on multi-criteria can improve prediction and accuracy levels of recommendation by considering the user preferences in multi...

This paper presents new adaptive filtering techniques used in speech enhancement system. Adaptive filtering schemes are subjected to different trade-offs regarding their steady-state misadjustment, speed of convergence, and tracking performance. Fractional Least-Mean-Square (FLMS) is a new adaptive algorithm which has better performance than the conventional LMS algorithm. Normalization of LMS ...
