An adaptive fuzzy recommender system based on learning automata

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a learning automata-based method for optimizing membership functions.

• The proposed method adjusts the number and the position of membership functions.

• The proposed method can be used without any change in any fuzzy recommender system.

• The performance of proposed method is tested on well-known datasets.

• The results show that the proposed method improves the recommendation accuracy.
