Tourist Places Recommender System Using Cosine Similarity and Singular Value Decomposition Methods

Abstract

Tourism in the city of Bandung has various potentials in the field of culture, regional specialties, buildings, and other tourist attractions. On the Tripadvisor page there are many reviews from users who have visited tourist attractions in the city of Bandung. In this case, user reviews are an important element for analysis. The analysis process is carried out using rule-based sentiment analysis. In conducting the review analysis, we use vaderSentiment to weight the positive and negative values. Positive values are subtracted from negative values to get a compound value and converted to a rating value. The rating value obtained is then processed using the Cosine Similarity and Singular Value Decomposition methods to obtain recommendations for tourist attractions in the city of Bandung. For this method, we use the Root Mean Square Error method as a measure of the level of accuracy between the predicted values. The results of the measurement of the level of accuracy produce a value of 3,489 in the Cosine Similarity method, while the Singular Value Decomposition method gets a value of 1,231. The value in the Singular Value Decomposition method is smaller than the Cosine Similarity method with a difference of 2,258 values
