Abstract:

To address the problem that in a practical recommendation system (RS),because of the datasets are often very sparse,the traditional collaborative filtering (CF) approach cannot provide recommendations with higher quality,a novel CF based on rough set rule extraction was proposed.Firstly,the attributes of user/item and the user-item rating matrix were used to construct a decision table.Then,the core value of each rule in the table was extracted through using the decision table reduction algorithm.Finally,according to the nuclear value decision rule of the core value table,the reductions of all decision rules were utilized to predict the rating scores of un-rated items.Experimental results suggest that the proposed approach can alleviate the data sparsity problem of CF,and provide recommendations with higher accuracy.

Key words: personalized recommendation, collaborative filtering, rough set, rule extraction
