    In recent years, the number of users of social networks has grown significantly. The big challenge for these networks’ audience is How to communicate with the people present on these networks. Friend recommender systems try to fix this challenge by offering suggestions. In this study, data from the social and scientific network of Kousarent were used. In this research, using 10 types of relationships between users without considering the friendship relationships, network graph created, and then by using 3 algorithms Louvain, Kmeans and Hierarchical graph clustering was performed to identify communities. Clusters obtained from Louvain's clustering algorithm had higher percentages of matching with friendships. Then, weights were calculated by genetic algorithm for each of 10 relationships and by applying Louvain clustering algorithm on the network graph, the highest percentage of matching with the optimal weight of each of the 10 relationships was obtained. In this case, the resulting clusters are optimal clusters containing the most similar users. So other users in the same cluster can be suggested as friends. The weight of the edges between the individuals in the graph was also used to prioritize the bids. At the end, the friend proposed method was evaluated and the percentage of suggested friends matched with the individual's true friends was calculated

    Among the various applications of recommender systems, their use in estimating and suggesting points of interest (POIs) for tourists has expanded significantly in recent years. A common approach to identify user interests is to use collaborative filtering (CF) technique. However, the accuracy and efficiency of CF can be improved by applying different parameters and complementary approaches. In this paper, a new solution for promoting POI offers to tourists is presented, which uses a five-dimensional time model including the dimensions of day and night hours, days of the week, days of the month, months of the year, and occasions, and by calculating the Euclidean distance between the time of recommendation and the time of previous experiences of the active user and his similar users identifies and suggests suitable venues. The proposed solution also uses the trust parameter to increase the accuracy of POI suggestion. To improve the accuracy of trust evaluation, a new criterion based on a similarity tree structure between contexts is introduced. The results of experiments conducted on three well-known datasets show that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in term of efficiency and accuracy
