The exponential growth of social networks has made establishing a trusted relationship increasingly important. Recommender systems can play an important role in assessing a user's trustworthiness. Such systems are designed to offer recommendations of trustworthiness when establishing connections among social network members, where the system rates members by inferring their degrees of trust. In this work, we developed a recommender system that provides recommendations about trusted social network members. We compared the time complexity and the accuracy of the following four adapted algorithms and a new proposed 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.
