With the increase of volume, velocity, and variety of big data, the traditional collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm, which recommends the items based on the ratings from those like-minded users, becomes more and more inefficient. In this paper, two varieties of algorithms for collaborative filtering recommendation system are proposed. The first one uses the improved kmeans clustering technique while the second one uses the improved k-means clustering technique coupled with Principal Component Analysis as a dimensionality reduction method to enhance the recommendation accuracy for big data. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithms have better recommendation performance than the traditional collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
