摘要
Collaborative filtering recommendation technology is mainly divided into two categories, user-based and item-based. The predicted value may be inaccurate because the user rating data sparsity exist. At the same time, the rapidly increasing number of users and items can also lead to the deviation of user preference score, which would seriously affect the accuracy of the final result of the recommendation. In order to improve the recommendation accuracy, a collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on clustering and user trust has proposed. The algorithm consists of four steps: firstly, clustering the users; secondly, calculating the user similarity through by combining with cosine similarity and improved user trust; thirdly, searching the nearest neighbor users; finally, generating recommendation. The experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively improve the recommendation precision of system in the case of sparse data. © 2015 by Binary Information Press.
