ABSTRACT
We propose a recommendation system method which is based on NMF (Nonnegative Matrix Factorization) in collaborative filtering to enhance the rating predictions. The proposed method conduct selective imputations that fuses the factored original rating matrix and the factored imputed rating matrix into one system. The outputs of the factorized matrices provide four different ways to calculate the predicted ratings which are called sub-predicted ratings. Our proposed method is capable of predicting the rating by utilizing either the imputed users, or imputed items, or both in order to limit the errors that may be introduced from the imputed ratings. We proposed five strategies to calculate the final predicted rating from the sub-predicted ratings. The prediction results of rating values that are not close to the average of the rating values could be enhanced by utilizing the proposed method. Experiments on four different datasets are conducted to examine the proposed approach. The results show that our approach improves the predicted rating especially with Max of value category strategy.

Imputing trust network information in NMF-based collaborative filtering
ACMSE '18: Proceedings of the ACMSE 2018 ConferenceWe propose an NMF (Nonnegative Matrix Factorization)-based approach in collaborative filtering based recommendation systems to handle the cold-start users issue, especially for the New-Users who did not rate any items. The proposed approach utilizes the ...
An effective recommendation method for cold start new users using trust and distrust networks
Recommendation systems analyze the purchasing behavior (e.g., item ratings) of users to learn about their preferences and recommend products or services that may be of interest to them. However, as new users require time to become familiar with ...
Improving Top-N Recommendation for Cold-Start Users via Cross-Domain Information
Making accurate recommendations for cold-start users is a challenging yet important problem in recommendation systems. Including more information from other domains is a natural solution to improve the recommendations. However, most previous work in ...
