Abstract

Neighborhood-based collaborative filtering algorithms, also referred to as memory-based algorithms, were among the earliest algorithms developed for collaborative filtering. These algorithms are based on the fact that similar users display similar patterns of rating behavior and similar items receive similar ratings. There are two primary types of neighborhood-based algorithms:

Keywords

Target Item Rating Matrix Target User Offline Phase Latent Factor Model 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
