A collaborative filtering recommender system using genetic algorithm

作者:

Highlights:

• Propose a novel recommender system finds the best list of items for users using GA.

• The recommender system generates the recommendation using multi-filtering criteria.

• Propose a multi-objective GA has n-fitness functions based on n-filtering criteria.

• The GA hierarchically evaluates the individuals using three fitness functions.

• Adopt the multi-ratings criteria idea to evaluate the individuals based on n-rates.

• Alleviate cold start and sparsity issues of collaborative filtering.
