Information filtering for internet search, in which new information retrieval environment is given, is different from traditional methods such as bibliography information filtering, news-group and E-mail filtering. Therefore, we cannot expect high performance from the traditional information filtering models when they are applied to the new environment. To solve this problem, we inspect the characteristics of the new filtering environment, and propose a semantic-based filtering model which includes a new filtering method using WordNet. For extracting keywords from documents, this model uses the SDCC(Semantic Distance for Common Category) algorithm instead of the TF/IDF method usually used by traditional methods. The world sense ambiguation problem, which is one of causes dropping efficiency of internet search, is solved by this method. The semantic-based filtering model can filter web pages selectively with considering a user level and we show in this paper that it is more convenient for users to search information in internet by the proposed method than by traditional filtering methods.

With the explosive growth of information in our real life, information filtering is quickly becoming a popular technique for reducing information overload. Information filtering technique is divided into two categories: content-based filtering and collaborative filtering (or social filtering). Content-based filtering selects the information based on contents; while collaborative filtering combines the opinions of other persons to make a prediction for the target user. In this paper, we describe a new filtering approach that seamlessly combines content-based filtering and collaborative filtering to take advantages from both of them, where a technique using user profiles efficiently on the collaborative filtering framework is introduced to predict a user's preference. The proposed approach is experimentally evaluated and compared to conventional filtering. Our experiments showed that the proposed approach not only achieved significant improvement in prediction quality, but also dealt with new users well.

As information society is more and more deeloped, the importance of information filtering is gradually growing. That is, it is crucial to select the exactly necessary information for making decisions among a variety ofinformation. This study reviewed the theoretical framework of information filtering, which is systematically carrying out the above-mentioned mission in the space of producing and transferring digital information likewise Internet, and examined the informat n services on demand by applying information filtering. The more efficient information center is, the more positive it is to find out the way to give users value-added information through continuous monitoring, filtering and evaluation of incoming information.

In this paper, a nonlinear anisotropic filtering method without the loss of important information happened due to the repeated filtering in magnetic resonance images is proposed. First of all original images are divided into four regions, e.g., SPR(Strong Plain Region), EPR(Easy Plain Region), SER(Strong Edge Region), and EER(Easy Edge Region). An optimal template among multiple templates is selected, then the nonlinear anisotropic filtering based on the template is applied in pixel by pixel basis. In the proposed algorithm, filtering strength of EER containing important information is adjusted very weak and filtering strength for remaining regions is also adjusted according to the degree of the importance. In spite of repeated filtering, resulting images by the proposed method could still preserve anatomy information of original images without any degradation. Compared to the existing nonlinear anisotropic filtering, the proposed filtering method with multiple templates provides higher reliability for filtered images.

In ubiquitous environment, information retrieval using collaborative filtering is a popular technique for reducing information overload. Collaborative filtering systems can produce personal recommendations by computing the similarity between your preference and the one of other people. We integrate the collaboration filtering method and context-aware information retrieval method. The proposed method enables to find some relevant information to specific user's contexts. It aims to makes more effective information retrieval to the users. The proposed method is conceptually comprised of two main tasks. The first task is to tag context tags by automatic tagging technique. The second task is to recommend items for each user's contexts integrating collaborative filtering and information retrieval. We describe a new integration method algorithm and then present a u-commerce application prototype.

There are many recommendation systems available to provide users with personalized services. Among them, the most frequently used in electronic commerce is 'collaborative filtering', which is a technique that provides a process of filtering customer information for the preparation of profiles and making recommendations of products that are expected to be preferred by other users, based on such information profiles. Collaborative filtering systems, however, have in their nature both technical issues such as sparsity, scalability, and transparency, as well as security issues in the collection of the information that becomes the basis for preparation of the profiles. In this paper, we suggest a movie recommendation system, based on the selection of optimal personal propensity variables and the utilization of a secure collaborating filtering system, in order to provide a solution to such sparsity and scalability issues. At the same time, we adopt 'push attack' principles to deal with the security vulnerability of collaborative filtering systems. Furthermore, we assess the system's applicability by using the open database MovieLens, and present a personal propensity framework for improvement in the performance of recommender systems. We successfully come up with a movie recommendation system through the selection of optimal personalization factors and the embodiment of a safe collaborative filtering system.

Recommendation system is filtering for users require appropriate information from increasing information. Recommendation system is provides the information based on user information or content that information entered in the original through process of filtering through the algorithm. Recommend system is problems with Cold-start, and Cold-start is not enough information in the occurrences for new users of recommend system in the new information to the user when recommend. Cold-start is should meet to resolve the user of information and item information. In this paper, Suggest for movie recommendation system on collaborative filtering techniques and content-based filtering techniques based to a hybrid of a hybrid filtering techniques to solve problems in cold-start.

Due to the explosion of e-commerce, recommender systems are rapidly becoming a core tool to accelerate cross-selling and strengthen customer loyalty. There are two prevalent approaches for building recommender systems - content-based recommending and collaborative filtering. Collaborative filtering recommender systems have been very successful in both information filtering domains and e-commerce domains, and many researchers have presented variations of collaborative filtering to increase its performance. However, the current research on recommendation has paid little attention to the use of time related data in the recommendation process. Up to now there has not been any study on collaborative filtering to reflect changes in user interest. This paper proposes dynamic fuzzy clustering algorithm and apply it to collaborative filtering algorithm for dynamic recommendations. The proposed methodology detects changes in customer behavior using the customer data at different periods of time and improves the performance of recommendations using information on changes. The results of the evaluation experiment show the proposed model's improvement in making recommendations.

The huge size of Internet does not allow ordinary information seekers to search information with ease. Now, it is almost impossible to navigate the ocean of information without effective search tools. Web search engine has been the most effective technology for information retrieval on WWW. But recently, the need for new search tools on WWW or Internet has increased drastically. Currently, there are many on-going researches on the related topics. In this survey, we categorize the new search tools into four types: monitoring systems, filtering systems, browsing assistant systems, recommending systems. These example systems are examined. We are especially interested in WWW information filtering. It is studied how to apply the information filtering techniques to WWW, The application is not so straightforward like Email, Newswire filtering systems. As a result of this study, a simple WWW information filtering system is proposed.

With the advent of the information society, image restoration technology has aroused considerable interest. Guided image filtering is more effective in suppressing noise in homogeneous regions, but its edge-preserving property is poor. As such, the critical part of guided filtering lies in the selection of the guided image. The result of the Expected Patch Log Likelihood (EPLL) method maintains a good structure, but it is easy to produce the ladder effect in homogeneous areas. According to the complementarity of EPLL with guided filtering, we propose a method of coupling EPLL and guided filtering for image de-noising. The EPLL model is adopted to construct the guided image for the guided filtering, which can provide better structural information for the guided filtering. Meanwhile, with the secondary smoothing of guided image filtering in image homogenization areas, we can improve the noise suppression effect in those areas while reducing the ladder effect brought about by the EPLL. The experimental results show that it not only retains the excellent performance of EPLL, but also produces better visual effects and a higher peak signal-to-noise ratio by adopting the proposed method.
