Characterizing the reputation of evaluators using vectors in the object feature space

作者:

Highlights:

• Suggested to use a vector to characterize the reputation of the evaluators.

• Introduced a method to find the evaluator’s reputation vector and object’s rate.

• The community structure of the objects is taken as the feature space of the objects.

• The results show the group structure of the evaluators.

• Performance of the method better than the original correlation-based algorithm.
