Collaborative filtering adapted to recommender systems of e-learning

摘要

In the context of e-learning recommender systems, we propose that the users with greater knowledge (for example, those who have obtained better results in various tests) have greater weight in the calculation of the recommendations than the users with less knowledge. To achieve this objective, we have designed some new equations in the nucleus of the memory-based collaborative filtering, in such a way that the existent equations are extended to collect and process the information relative to the scores obtained by each user in a variable number of level tests.
