Improving the effectiveness of experiential decisions by recommendation systems

作者:

Highlights:

• We proposed a movie recommendation system (RS) integrating Self-Organizing Map (SOM) with a Neural Network System (NNS).

• We used the MovieLens 100 k database from the “GroupLens Research Project” of The University of Minnesota to test the RS.

• The database contained over 100 thousand ratings of 943 users on 1,682 movies during October 1997 to April 1998.

• The SOM produced 4 clusters of audience with high similarity and these clusters became the four nodes of the hidden layer in NNS.

• The RS provided richer user experiences and improved the accuracy of predicting movie ratings and the speed of data transfer.
