abstract

in recent years, collaborative filtering (cf) methods are important and widely accepted techniques are available for recommender systems. one of these techniques is user based that produces useful recommendations based on the similarity by the ratings of likeminded users. however, these systems suffer from several inherent shortcomings such as data sparsity and cold start problems. with the development of social network, trust measure introduced as a new approach to overcome the cf problems. on the other hand, trust-aware recommender systems are techniques to make use of trust statements and user personal data in social networks to improve the accuracy of rating prediction for cold start users. in addition, clustering-based recommender systems are other kind of systems that to be efficient and scalable to large-scale data sets but these systems suffer from relatively low accuracy and especially coverage too. therefore to address these problems, in this paper we proposed a multi-view clustering based on euclidean distance by combination both similarity view and trust relationships that is including explicit and implicit trusts. in order to analyze the effectiveness of the proposed method we used the real-world filmtrust dataset. the experimental results on this data sets show that our approach can effectively improve both the accuracy and especially coverage of recommendations as well as in the cold start problem.

Merging Similarity and Trust Based Social Networks to Enhance the Accuracy of Trust-Aware Recommender Systems

In recent years, collaborative filtering (CF) methods are important and widely accepted techniques are available for recommender systems. One of these techniques is user based that produces useful recommendations based on the similarity by the ratings of likeminded users. However, these systems suffer from several inherent shortcomings such as data sparsity and cold start problems. With the dev...

Trust-aware Recommender Systems Chapter 1 Trust-aware Recommender Systems Trust-aware Recommender Systems 1.1 Recommender Systems Trust-aware Recommender Systems

Recommender systems are an effective solution to the information overload problem, specially in the online world where we are constantly faced with inordinately many choices. These systems try to find the items such as books or movies that match best with users’ preferences. Based on the different approaches to finding the items of interests to users, we can classify the recommender systems int...

Designing a trust-based recommender system in Social Rating Networks

One of the most common styles of business today is electronic business, since it is considered as a principal mean for financial transactions among advanced countries. In view of the fact that due to the evolution of human knowledge and the increase of expectations following that, traditional marketing in electronic business cannot meet current generation’s needs, in order to survive, organizat...

Leveraging multiviews of trust and similarity to enhance clustering-based recommender systems

Although demonstrated to be efficient and scalable to large-scale data sets, clustering-based recommender systems suffer from relatively low accuracy and coverage. To address these issues, we develop a multiview clustering method through which users are iteratively clustered from the views of both rating patterns and social trust relationships. To accommodate users who appear in two different c...

Achieving Optimal Privacy in Trust-Aware Social Recommender Systems

Collaborative filtering (CF) recommenders are subject to numerous shortcomings such as centralized processing, vulnerability to shilling attacks, and most important of all privacy. To overcome these obstacles, researchers proposed for utilization of interpersonal trust between users, to alleviate many of these crucial shortcomings. Till now, attention has been mainly paid to strong points about...

Trust-aware Bootstrapping of Recommender Systems

Recommender Systems (RS) suggest to users items they might like such as movies or songs. However they are not able to generate recommendations for users who just registered, in fact bootstrapping Recommender Systems for new users is still an open challenge. While traditional RSs exploit only ratings provided by users about items, Trust-aware Recommender Systems let the user express also trust s...
