Abstract

With the rapid growth of network data and demands of users, the concept of AI in recommendation system has become a hot academic topic. However, in sparse data, it is difficult for the current user to obtain his efficient neighbors and for some cold-start users, it doesn’t do anything. Therefore, we constructed a new measure of trust between users for neighborhood based on Collaborative filtering(CF) which uses a pair of users common ratings and exploits Bhattacharyya similarity to finds relevance of each pair of rated items. We also have measured the validity of the proposed model through accuracy, recall rate and F1 measures. The results show that although some recall rates will be lost, the precision is greatly improved. Overall, it achieved good results.
