Abstract

Recommender system aims to solve the information overload problem by recommending a set of items that are suitable for users. Recently, the incorporation of multiple criteria into traditional single-criterion recommender system has increased the interest. In this paper, we propose a novel trust-enhanced multi-criteria recommender system using fuzzy rating in collaborative filtering framework. We have also designed a hybrid approach of traditional multi-criteria recommender system and trust-enhanced multi-criteria recommender system to reduce data sparsity problem. The empirical results show that our proposed approach demonstrates efficient recommendation as compared to traditional approach.
