Abstract

It is necessary to provide personalized information service for users through the enormous volume of information on the web. Collaborative filtering is the most successful recommender system technology to date and is used in many domains. Unfortunately collaborative filtering is limited by the high dimensionality and sparsity of user-item rating matrix. In this paper, we propose a new method for applying semantic classification to collaborative filtering. Experimental results show the high efficiency and performance of our approach, compared with tradition collaborative filtering algorithm and collaborative filtering using K-means clustering algorithm.
