Novel predictive model to improve the accuracy of collaborative filtering recommender systems

作者:

Highlights:

• We analyzed the shortages of the popular prediction method in collaborative filtering.

• A novel predictive model employs an optimization algorithm.

• We use GA, PSO, and DE to find the predictive model that suits the user context.

• We apply the new predictive model in collaborative filtering techniques.

• The predictive model show superior prediction accuracy.
