Pre-Evaluation for Detecting Abnormal Users in Recommender System

This study is devoted to suggesting the norm of detection abnormal users who are inferior to the other users in the recommender system compared with estimation accuracy. To select the abnormal users, we propose the pre-filtering method by using the preference ratings to the item rated by users. In this study, the experimental result shows the possibility of detecting the abnormal users before the process of preference estimation through the prediction algorithm. And It will be possible to improve the performance of the recommender system by using this detecting norm.
