Abstract

Many existing tag recommendation approaches ignore the social relations between users. In this paper, we investigate the role of such additional information for the task of personalized tag recommendation. We inject the social relations between users and the content similarities between resources, along with the social annotations made by collaborative users, into a graph representation. To fully explore the structure of this graph, we exploit the methodology of random-walk computation of similarities between all the objects. We develop a personalized collaborative filtering algorithm that combines both the collaborative information and the personalized tag preferences. Experiments on Delicious data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
