Abstract. In order to solve the problem of the popular item ratings interfering in similarity calculation, we proposed the ratings distribution recommendation model. Based on this model, we designed a new collaborative filtering algorithm. According to ratings distribution, this algorithm firstly get the amount of information carried (The Shannon Entropy). Then, it calculated the rating weights to filter into traditional similarity calculation. The experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively alleviate the above problem and improve the performance of the 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.
