A reliability-based recommendation method to improve trust-aware recommender systems

作者:

Highlights:

• We proposed a trust-based collaborative filtering method called RTCF.

• A trust based reliability measure is proposed to evaluate quality of predicted rates.

• A new mechanism is proposed to reconstruct the trust network.

• Experiments were performed on two real-world datasets.

• The results show that our method outperformed several state-of-the-art methods.
