Improving Recommendation Diversity Across Users by Reducing Frequently Recommended Items

摘要

Recommender systems have been used for analyzing users' preference through their past activities and recommend items in which they might be interested in. There are numerous research on improving the accuracy of recommendation being conducted, so the recommender system reads user preference more accurately. However, it is important to consider the recommendation diversity, because lacking diversity will lead to recommendation being repetitive and obvious. In this paper, we propose a method to re-rank the recommendation list by appearance frequency of items to recommend more range of items. The experimental result shows that our method consistently performs better than a related work to improve recommendation diversity.
