Based on the introduction to the user-based and item-based collaborative filtering algorithms, the problems related to the two algorithms are analyzed, and a new entropybased recommendation algorithm is proposed. Aiming at the drawbacks of traditional similarity measurement methods, we put forward an improved similarity measurement method. The entropy-based collaborative filtering algorithm contributes to solving the cold-start problem and discovering users' hidden interests. Using the data selected from Movielens and Book-Crossing datasets and MAE accuracy metric, three different collaborative filtering recommendation algorithms are compared through experiments. The experimental scheme and results are discussed in detail. The results show that the entropy-based algorithm provides better recommendation quality than user-based algorithm and achieves recommendation accuracy comparable to the item-based algorithm. At last, a solution to B2B e-commerce recommendation applications based on Web services technology is proposed, which adopts entropy-based collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations 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.
