Using Social Networks to Solve Data Sparsity Problem in One-Class Collaborative Filtering
One-Class Collaborative Filtering (OCCF) problems are more problematic than traditional collaborative filtering problems, since OCCF datasets lack counter-examples. Social networks can be used to remedy dataset issues faced by OCCF applications. In this work, we compare social networks belong to specific domains and the ones belong to more generic domains in terms of their usability in OCCF problems. Our experiments show that social networks that belong to a specific domain may better be appropriate for use in OCCF application
