Title
Using Trust in Collaborative Filtering for Recommendations
Abstract
Recommender systems are increasingly being used in e-commerce websites to solve the problem of finding right kind of information. Collaborative filtering is considered as most promising method for recommendation because it recommends items based on common interests of users. Trust Aware Recommender Systems (TARS) is an enhancement of traditional recommendation systems to improve recommendation quality which uses trusted users for recommending an item to an active user. From literature, it is proven that including all trusted users in recommendation process reduces its performance so this research work performs a filtration process on users for reduction of trusted neighborhood of an active user. The main idea of this research work is to keep only those users in trusted neighborhood whose rating behavior is similar to an active user. Subspace clustering method is used for filtration process. The proposed algorithm uses both implicit and explicit trust for trust value calculation. The results demonstrates that the proposed algorithm improves results in terms of Mean Absolute Error and Coverage as compared to other conventional methods.
