An Improved Real-Time Recommendation for Microblogs Based on Topic

摘要

With the rapid development of the Internet, people are confronted with information overload. Many recommendation methods are designed to solve this problem. The main contributions of recommendation methods proposed in this paper are as follows: (1) An improved collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on user clustering is proposed. Clustering is performed according to user similarity based on the user-item rating matrix. So the search space of recommendation algorithm is reduced. (2) Considering the factor that user's interests may dynamically change over time, a time decay function is introduced. (3) A method of real-time recommendation based on topic for microblogs is designed to realize real-time recommendation effectively by preserving intermediate variables of user similarity. Experiments show that the proposed algorithms have been improved in terms of running time and accuracy.
