A New Similarity Computing Model of Collaborative Filtering

Collaborative filtering has become one of the most widely used methods for a variety of commercial recommendations. The key to collaborative filtering is use similarity calculation formula to find similar neighbors or projects. However, most similarity calculation methods only use the user common score and provide bad recommendations. This paper proposes a new similarity measure method, which effectively utilizes the user context information. The new method uses a singularity factor to adjust nonlinear equation and takes into account the user scoring habits. It can improve the accuracy of the prediction. The new method has been tested on the dataset and compared with other algorithms. The results show that the proposed method can improve the recommendation quality.
