A Hybrid Web Recommendation System based on the Improved Association Rule Mining Algorithm
As the growing interest of web recommendation systems those are applied to
deliver customized data for their users, we started working on this system.
Generally the recommendation systems are divided into two major categories such
as collaborative recommendation system and content based recommendation system.
In case of collaborative recommen-dation systems, these try to seek out users
who share same tastes that of given user as well as recommends the websites
according to the liking given user. Whereas the content based recommendation
systems tries to recommend web sites similar to those web sites the user has
liked. In the recent research we found that the efficient technique based on
asso-ciation rule mining algorithm is proposed in order to solve the problem of
web page recommendation. Major problem of the same is that the web pages are
given equal importance. Here the importance of pages changes according to the
fre-quency of visiting the web page as well as amount of time user spends on
that page. Also recommendation of newly added web pages or the pages those are
not yet visited by users are not included in the recommendation set. To
over-come this problem, we have used the web usage log in the adaptive
association rule based web mining where the asso-ciation rules were applied to
personalization. This algorithm was purely based on the Apriori data mining
algorithm in order to generate the association rules. However this method also
suffers from some unavoidable drawbacks. In this paper we are presenting and
investigating the new approach based on weighted Association Rule Mining
Algorithm and text mining. This is improved algorithm which adds semantic
knowledge to the results, has more efficiency and hence gives better quality
and performances as compared to existing approaches.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, 2 table
News Session-Based Recommendations using Deep Neural Networks
News recommender systems are aimed to personalize users experiences and help
them to discover relevant articles from a large and dynamic search space.
Therefore, news domain is a challenging scenario for recommendations, due to
its sparse user profiling, fast growing number of items, accelerated item's
value decay, and users preferences dynamic shift. Some promising results have
been recently achieved by the usage of Deep Learning techniques on Recommender
Systems, specially for item's feature extraction and for session-based
recommendations with Recurrent Neural Networks. In this paper, it is proposed
an instantiation of the CHAMELEON -- a Deep Learning Meta-Architecture for News
Recommender Systems. This architecture is composed of two modules, the first
responsible to learn news articles representations, based on their text and
metadata, and the second module aimed to provide session-based recommendations
using Recurrent Neural Networks. The recommendation task addressed in this work
is next-item prediction for users sessions: "what is the next most likely
article a user might read in a session?" Users sessions context is leveraged by
the architecture to provide additional information in such extreme cold-start
scenario of news recommendation. Users' behavior and item features are both
merged in an hybrid recommendation approach. A temporal offline evaluation
method is also proposed as a complementary contribution, for a more realistic
evaluation of such task, considering dynamic factors that affect global
readership interests like popularity, recency, and seasonality. Experiments
with an extensive number of session-based recommendation methods were performed
and the proposed instantiation of CHAMELEON meta-architecture obtained a
significant relative improvement in top-n accuracy and ranking metrics (10% on
Hit Rate and 13% on MRR) over the best benchmark methods.Comment: Accepted for the Third Workshop on Deep Learning for Recommender
