A combination of the results of content-based and collaborative filtering techniques is used in this work in order to construct a system that provides more precise recommendations concerning movies.

Abstract

Recommender systems offer a solution to the problem of successful information search in the knowledge reservoirs of the Internet by providing individualized recommendations. Content-based and Collaborative Filtering are usually applied to predict recommendations. A combination of the results of the above techniques is used in this work to construct a system that provides precise recommendations concerning movies. The content filtering part of the system is based on trained neural networks representing individual user preferences. Filtering results are combined using Boolean and fuzzy aggregation operators. The proposed hybrid system was tested on the MovieLens data yielding high accuracy predictions.
