Multi-class Co-Clustering (MCoC)-based recommendation system is a method for recommending favorite items to users. It, firstly, groups items and users in a way that users have common interests and their favored items are put in the same group. Then, to estimate unrated items of each group, for each group, an independent collaborative filtering approach is implemented. MCoC-based recommendation system uses rating vectors to determine similar items and to group them together. We expect that the ratings of two items with the same tag be closer than two items with different tags. Therefore, tags can also be used to determine similar items for co-clustering. The purpose of this study is to enhance the performance of co-clustering to increase the accuracy of MCoC-based recommendation system by using item tags in addition to item rating vectors. Our experiments show that mean absolute error of our proposed method is much less than that of MCoC-based recommendation system.
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.
