Power coefficient as a similarity measure for memory-based collaborative recommender systems

作者:

Highlights:

• Power coefficient is a more general coefficient for asymmetric binary variables.

• Simple asymmetric coefficients (only positive matches) are not suitable for CRS.

• Our approaches assume two asymmetric binary variables for the user profile.

• Power-based CRSs elect better sets of like-minded users thus outperform other CRSs.

• Priority-based prediction keeps the predicted rating within the system scale range.
