TL;DR

A novel diffusion-based recommendation model, with users' ratings built into a transition matrix, with a Green function method is presented, which is superior to the standard recommendation methods.

Abstract

Information overload in the modern society calls for highly efficient recommendation algorithms. In this letter we present a novel diffusion based recommendation model, with users' ratings built into a transition matrix. To speed up computation we introduce a Green function method. The numerical tests on a benchmark database show that our prediction is superior to the standard recommendation methods.
