Abstract

Recommendation systems play a significant role in providing personalized information to users, with enhanced satisfaction and reduced information overload. Since the mid-1990s, many studies have been conducted on recommendation systems, but few have examined the recommendations of information from people in the online social networking environment. In this paper, we present a hybrid recommendation method that combines both the traditional system of content-based techniques to improve specialization, and the recently developed system of social network-based techniques to best overcome a few limitations of the traditional techniques, such as the cold-start problem. By suggesting a state-of-the-art method, this research will help users in online social networks view more personalized information with less effort than before.

추천 시스템은 개인에게 고도로 개인화된 아이템을 제공함으로써 아이템의 선택과 소비과정에서 발생하는 과부하를 줄여주고 효율성을 증대시키는 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 전통적인 추천 기법인 Content-Based(CB)기법과 최근 대두되는 Social Network-based(SN)기법을 접목하여 새로운 복합방식의 정보 추천 알고리즘을 제시한다. CB기법의 대표적인 한계점인 cold start problem과 SN기법에서 부족할 수 있는 추천 아이템의 전문성 문제를 상호 보완하는 형태가 되며, 특히 최근 소셜 네트워크의 특징인 비신뢰(non-trust) 기반의 영향력 있는 정보 확산자가 존재하는 환경에서 기법을 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 대부분 사람 추천 중심인 기존의 SN기법들과는 달리 사람에게 제공할 정보를 추천하는데 초점을 두며, 정보의 선정과정에서 개인의 소셜 네트워크와 실세계(real world)에서의 사회활동 정보를 모두 활용하여 더욱 더 개인화된 가치정보를 제공하고자 한다.
