Building user profiles based on sequences for content and collaborative filtering
作者:
Highlights:
• A generic method to transform users to sequences using collaborative and content-based information.
• We define a user similarity metric based on LCS algorithm (extensible to any string-based comparison algorithm) than can produce competitive recommendations.
• Definition of various parameters (confidence, preference, normalizations, and threshold) to produce better recommendations in the LCS-based algorithm.
• Normalization functions help to improve accuracy without hurting diversity or novelty.
• Preference filtering does not decrement the performance but reduces its computational cost.
