On the Use of Weighted Mean Absolute Error in Recommender Systems

چکیده
The classical strategy to evaluate the performance of a Recommender System is to measure the error in rating predictions. But when focusing on a particular dimension in a recommending process it is reasonable to assume that every prediction should not be treated equally, its importance depends on the degree to which the predicted item matches the deemed dimension or feature. In this paper we shall explore the use of weighted Mean Average Error (wMAE) as an alternative to capture and measure their effects on the recommendations. In order to illustrate our approach two different dimensions are considered, one item-dependent and the other that depends on the user preferences.

متن کاملHybrid Recommender System Based on Variance Item Rating
K-nearest neighbors (KNN) based recommender systems (KRS) are among the most successful recent available recommender systems. These methods involve in predicting the rating of an item based on the mean of ratings given to similar items, with the similarity defined by considering the mean rating given to each item as its feature. This paper presents a KRS developed by combining the following app...

The goal of recommender system is to provide desired items for users. One of the main challenges affecting the performance of recommendation systems is the cold-start problem that is occurred as a result of lack of information about a user/item. In this article, first we will present an approach, uses social streams such as Twitter to create a behavioral profile, then user profiles are clusteri...

The recommender systems are models that are to predict the potential interests of users among a number of items. These systems are widespread and they have many applications in real-world. These systems are generally based on one of two structural types: collaborative filtering and content filtering. There are some systems which are based on both of them. These systems are named hybrid recommen...
