A Review of Recommender System and Related Dimensions

Abstract

The exponential rise in the number of users and information has resulted in the information overhead, which restricts timely access to intended information on the Internet. In this age of Big Data, the main issues are that the data is heterogeneous, massive, less structured, and beyond the petabyte range, and hence, information retrieval is challenging. Information retrieval systems or search engines such as Google, Bing, AltaVista, and Devilfinder have partially solved this problem, but still personalization and prioritization have not been achieved absolutely. Users have to put more effort and time in searching the expected and essential information, and sometimes this may result in lower recall and precision rates. Many recommender approaches have been developed for several domains, but these are not sufficient to fulfill the need of users. So, it is important to develop a recommender system that is both precise and efficient. For developing such type of systems, many dimensions are to be given appropriate attention. This work is intended to examine and illustrate the dimensions of recommender system and also analyzes the evaluation metrics.
