Decision Support Framework: Integrating Analytic Hierarchy Process with Support Vector Machine and Top-K Algorithms

Effective recommendation systems are essential for supporting decision-making in various fields in this age of abundant information. This paper presents a novel framework for a Modified Recommender Algorithm that combines Top-K and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Traditional decision-making frameworks such as AHP are susceptible to subjectivity and inconsistencies, necessitating innovative approaches to improve their reliability and effectiveness. The objective is to improve recommendation systems' efficacy and precision by integrating sophisticated machine-learning techniques with resilient decision-making approaches. The proposed framework establishes the hierarchical structure of decision elements and prioritizes alternatives according to user preferences by utilizing AHP, a potent multi-criteria decision-making tool. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is then used as a text classification model to enrich the feature space for recommendations by classifying textual data into pertinent classes. In addition, the framework applies Top-K Algorithms to select the most pertinent alternatives based on SVM classification output, thereby refining the recommendation results. Top-K Algorithms improve overall recommendation accuracy and relevance by iteratively filtering and ranking alternatives. This research advances the field of data science by providing a thorough framework that combines innovative machine learning techniques with conventional decision-making methodologies to address the challenges of recommendation systems in complex and dynamic environments.
