摘要:Recommender systems provide useful recommendations to a collection of users for items or products thatmight be of concern or interest to them. Several techniques have been proposed for recommendation suchas collaborative filtering, content-based, knowledge-based, and demographic filtering. Each of thesetechniques suffers from scalability, data sparsity, and cold-start problems when applied individuallyresulting in poor recommendations. This paper proposes an adaptive hybrid recommender system thatcombines multiple techniques together to achieve some synergy between them. Collaborative filtering anddemographic techniques are combined in a weighted linear formula. Different experiments applied usingmovieLen dataset confirm that the proposed adaptable hybrid framework outperforms the weaknessesresulted when using traditional recommendation techniques.
