Abstract The use of programming online judges (POJs) has risen dramatically in recent years, owing to the fact that the auto-evaluation of codes during practice motivates students to learn programming. Since POJs have greater number of programming problems in their repository, learners experience information overload. Recommender systems are a common solution to information overload. Current recommender systems used in e-learning platforms are inadequate for POJ since recommendations should consider learners’ current context, like learning goals and current skill level (topic knowledge and difficulty level). To overcome the issue, we propose a context-aware practice problem recommender system… More >

Abstract A recommender system is an approach performed by e-commerce for increasing smooth users’ experience. Sequential pattern mining is a technique of data mining used to identify the co-occurrence relationships by taking into account the order of transactions. This work will present the implementation of sequence pattern mining for recommender systems within the domain of e-commerce. This work will execute the Systolic tree algorithm for mining the frequent patterns to yield feasible rules for the recommender system. The feature selection's objective is to pick a feature subset having the least feature similarity as well as highest… More >

Abstract The recommendation algorithm based on collaborative filtering is currently the most successful recommendation method. It recommends items to the user based on the known historical interaction data of the target user. Furthermore, the combination of the recommended algorithm based on collaborative filtration and other auxiliary knowledge base is an effective way to improve the performance of the recommended system, of which the Co-Factorization Model (CoFM) is one representative research. CoFM, a fusion recommendation model combining the collaborative filtering model FM and the graph embedding model TransE, introduces the information of many entities and their relations in the… More >

Abstract The increasing user of Internet has witnessed a continued exploration in applications and services that can bring more convenience in people's life than ever before. At the same time, with the exploration of online services, the people face unprecedented difficulty in selecting the most relevant service on the fly. In this context, the need for recommendation system is of paramount importance especially in helping the users to improve their experience with best value-added service. But, most of the traditional techniques including collaborative filtering (CF) which is one of the most successful recommendation technique suffer from… More >

Abstract A collaborative filtering-based recommendation system has been an integral part of e-commerce and e-servicing. To keep the recommendation systems reliable, authentic, and superior, the security of these systems is very crucial. Though the existing shilling attack detection methods in collaborative filtering are able to detect the standard attacks, in this paper, we prove that they fail to detect a new or unknown attack. We develop a new attack model, named Obscure attack, with unknown features and observed that it has been successful in biasing the overall top-N list of the target users as intended. The More >

Abstract Recommender system is a tool to suggest items to the users from the extensive history of the user's feedback. Though, it is an emerging research area concerning academics and industries, where it suffers from sparsity, scalability, and cold start problems. This paper addresses sparsity, and scalability problems of model-based collaborative recommender system based on ensemble learning approach and enhanced clustering algorithm for movie recommendations. In this paper, an effective movie recommendation system is proposed by Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm, enhanced Balanced Iterative Reducing and Clustering using Hierarchies (BIRCH) algorithm and truncation method. In… More >

Abstract News feed is one of the potential information providing sources which give updates on various topics of different domains. These updates on various topics need to be collected since the domain specific interested users are in need of important updates in their domains with organized data from various sources. In this paper, the news summarization system is proposed for the news data streams from RSS feeds and Google news. Since news stream analysis requires live content, the news data are continuously collected for our experimentation. The major contributions of this work involve domain corpus based… More >

Abstract Recommender systems act as decision support systems in supporting users in selecting the right choice of items or services from a high number of choices in an overloaded search space. However, such systems have difficulty dealing with sparse rating data. One way to deal with this issue is to incorporate additional explicit information, also known as side information, to the rating information. However, this side information requires some explicit action from the users and often not always available. Accordingly, this study presents a hybrid multi-criteria collaborative filtering model. The proposed model exploits the multi-criteria ratings, More >

Abstract Requirements engineering (RE) is among the most valuable and critical processes in software development. The quality of this process significantly affects the success of a software project. An important step in RE is requirements elicitation, which involves collecting project-related requirements from different sources. Repositories of reusable requirements are typically important sources of an increasing number of reusable software requirements. However, the process of searching such repositories to collect valuable project-related requirements is time-consuming and difficult to perform accurately. Recommender systems have been widely recognized as an effective solution to such problem. Accordingly, this study proposes More >

Abstract In order to improve user satisfaction and loyalty on e-commerce websites, recommendation algorithms are used to recommend products that may be of interest to users. Therefore, the accuracy of the recommendation algorithm is a primary issue. So far, there are three mainstream recommendation algorithms, content-based recommendation algorithms, collaborative filtering algorithms and hybrid recommendation algorithms. Content-based recommendation algorithms and collaborative filtering algorithms have their own shortcomings. The contentbased recommendation algorithm has the problem of the diversity of recommended items, while the collaborative filtering algorithm has the problem of data sparsity and scalability. On the basis of More >
