Recent recommender system uses a method of combining collaborative filtering system and content based filtering system in order to solve sparsity and first rater problem in collaborative filtering system. Collaborative filtering systems use a database about user preferences to predict additional topics. Content based filtering systems provide recommendations by matching user interests with topic attributes. In this paper, we describe a method for discovery of user preference through combining two techniques for recommendation that allows the application of machine learning algorithm. The proposed collaborative filtering method clusters user using genetic algorithm based on items categorized by Naive Bayes classifier and the content based filtering method builds user profile through extracting user interest using relevance feedback. We evaluate our method on a large database of user ratings for web document and it significantly outperforms previously proposed methods.

With the advance of internet technology and fast growing of data volume, it become very hard to find a demanding information from the huge amount of data. Recommender system can solve the delema by helping a user to find required information. This paper proposes a reinforcement learning based hybrid recommendation system to predict user's preference. The hybrid recommendation system combines the content based filtering and collaborate filtering, and the system was tested using 2000 images. We used mean abstract error(MAE) to compare the performance of the collaborative filtering, the content based filtering, the naive hybrid filtering, and the reinforcement learning algorithm based hybrid filtering methods. The experiment result shows that the performance of the proposed hybrid filtering performance based on reinforcement learning is superior to other methods.

The wide spread of internet business recently necessitates recommendation systems which can recommend the most suitable product fur customer demands. Currently the recommendation systems use content-based filtering and/or collaborative filtering methods, which are unable both to explain the reason for the recommendation and to reflect constantly changing requirements of the users. These methods guarantee good efficiency only if there is a lot of information about users. This paper proposes an algorithm called 'demand articulate & integration' which can perceive user's continuously varying intents and recommend proper contents. A method of knowledge classification which can be applicable to this algorithm is also developed in order to disassemble knowledge into basic units and articulate indices. The algorithm provides recommendation outputs that are close to expert's opinion through the tracing of articulate index. As a case study, a knowledge base for heritage information is constructed with the expert guide's knowledge. An intelligent recommendation system that can guide heritage tour as good as the expert guider is developed.

Thousands of studies on predicting information and products that are suitable for customers' preference have been actively proceeding. In massive information, unnecessary information should be removed to satisfy customers' needs. This Information filtering has been proceeding with several methods such as content-based and collaborative filtering etc. These conventional filtering methods have scarcity and scalability problems. Thus, this paper proposes a recommendation system using BPN to solve them. Data obtained by survey questionnaire are used as training data of neural network. The recommendation system using neural network is expected to recommend suitable products because it creates optimal network. Finally, the prototype for recommendation system based on neural network is proposed to collect data and recommend appropriate methods through survey questionnaire. As a result, this research improved the problems of conventional information filtering.

TV는 타 도메인과 달리, 사전에 정해진 시간에 콘텐츠가 방영된다. 그러므로 TV 프로그램 추천 시스템은 시청자의 현재 시각(time-context)을 고려해야 한다. 시간 기반의 TV 프로그램 추천 방법이 다수 연구되었지만, 대부분의 기존 연구는 특정 시간대(timeslot)에서의 시청자의 선호도를 계산하는 데에만 집중되어 있고, 시청 내역 전체기간에서의 선호도를 고려하지 않은 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 시청자의 지역 선호도와 전역 선호도를 모두 고려한 시간 기반의 TV 프로그램 추천기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 제안 방법에서는 시간대의 길이에 따라 여러 가지 선호도 모델을 사용한다. 여러 개의 선호도 모델로부터 산출된 선호도를 병합하여 가장 선호도가 높은 TV 프로그램을 추천한다. 실 데이터를 이용한 실험을 통해 기준방식과 비교함으로써, 제안 방법의 효용성을 검증하였다.

Currently the mobile web service is growing with a tremendous speed and mobile contents are spreading extensively. However, it is hard to search what the user wants because of some limitations of cellular phones. And the music is the most popular content, but many users experience frustrations to search their desired music. To solve these problems, this research proposes a hybrid recommendation system, MOBICORS-music (MOBIle COntents Recommender System for Music). Basically it follows the procedure of Collaborative Filtering (CF) system, but it uses Contents-Based (CB) data representation for neighborhood formation and recommendation of new music. Based on this data representation, MOBICORS-music solves the new item ramp-up problem and results better performance than existing CF systems. The procedure of MOBICORS-music is explained step by step with an illustrative example.

CF systems are widely used in recommendation due to the easy implementation and the outstanding performance. They have several problems such as the sparsity problem, the first-rater problem, and recommending explanation. Many studies are suggested to resolve these problems. While the influence of the sparsity problem lessens as the users' data are accumulated, but the first-rater problem is originated from the CF systems and there are a number of researches to overcome the disadvantages of CF systems based on the content-based methods. Also CF systems are black boxes, providing no explanation of working of the recommendation. In this paper we present a content-based prediction system based on the preference words, which exposes the reasoning behind a recommendation. Our system predicts user's rating of a new movie and we suggest a semiotic network-based method to solve the mismatching problem between the items. For experimental comparison, we used EachMovie and IMDb dataset.

As the online commerce market continues to expand with an increase of diverse products and content, users find it challenging in navigating and in the selection process. Thereafter both platforms and shopping malls are actively working in conducting continuous research on recommendations system to select and present products that align with user preferences. Most existing recommendation studies have relied on user data which is relatively easy to obtain. However, these studies only use a single type of event and their reliance on time dependent data results in issues with reliability and complexity. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a recommendation system that analysis user preferences in consideration of the relationship between various types of event data. The proposed recommendation system analyzes the correlation of multiple events, extracts weights, learns the recommendation model, and provides recommendation services through it. Through extensive experiments the performance of our system was compared with the previously studied algorithms. The results confirmed an improvement in both complexity and performance.

As mobile market grows more and more fast, the mobile contents market, especially music contents for mobile phones have recorded remarkable growth. In spite of this rapid growth, mobile web users experience high levels of frustration to search the desired music. New musics are very profitable to the content providers, but the existing collaborative filtering (CF) system can't recommend them. To solve these problems, we propose an extended CF system to reflect the user's real preference by representing the characteristics of users and musics in the feature space. We represent the musics using the music contents based acoustic features in multi-dimensional feature space, and then select a neighborhood with the distance based function. Furthermore, this paper suggests a recommendation for procedure for new music by matching new music with other users' preference. The suggested procedure is explained step by step with an illustration example.

The roles and functions of domestic public libraries are diversifying, but various problems have emerged due to internally biased book lending. In addition, due to the 4th Industrial Revolution, public libraries have introduced a book recommendation system focusing on popular books, but the variety of books that users can access is limited. Therefore, in this study, the public library unborrowed book recommendation system was implemented limiting its spatial scope to Duryu Library in Daegu City to enhance the satisfaction of public library users, by using the loan records data (213,093 cases), user information (35,561 people), etc. and utilizing methods like cluster analysis, topic modeling, content-based filtering recommendation algorithm, and conducted a survey on actual users' satisfaction to present the possibility and implications of the unborrowed book recommendation system. As a result of the analysis, the majority of users responded with high satisfaction, and was able to find the satisfaction was relatively high in the class classified by specific gender, age, occupation, and usual reading. Through the results of this study, it is expected that some problems such as biased book lending and reduced operational efficiency of public libraries can be improved, and limitations of the study was also presented.
