Improving accuracy and diversity of personalized recommendation through power law adjustments of user similarities

作者:

Highlights:

• The existence of popular objects may yield unreasonable recommendation results.

• We propose a method called PLUS to adjust user similarities using a power function.

• We show the superior performance of PLUS by large-scale validation experiments.

• PLUS achieves a reasonable tradeoff between recommendation accuracy and diversity.

• PLUS is robust to similarity measures and consistent between different data sets.
