Research Objective

To propose and integrate active user engagement and feedback into the recommendation process by considering user activities as feedback, and to develop a filtering mechanism that emphasizes user activities for predicting relevant suggestions to group users.

Methodology

The study proposes a new priority-based technique for group recommendations. User activity is used as feedback to prioritize users. A movie recommendation system is developed using the Movie Lens dataset. Users are categorized into "super-users," "active users," and "passive users" based on the number of movies they have rated, with higher ratings indicating higher priority. Recommendations are tailored based on these user categories and their priorities. Cosine similarity is used to generate a recommendation matrix. Performance is evaluated using precision, recall, and F-score.

Discussion

The study highlights the effectiveness of prioritizing user activities in group recommendations. The proposed system successfully categorizes users and tailors recommendations based on their priority levels, leading to improved accuracy for super-users and active users. While passive users showed lower performance metrics, the approach is deemed effective for specific group scenarios, particularly those involving active engagement. The authors suggest that this approach can help practitioners build more robust recommender systems for groups.

Key Findings

The proposed approach shows improved suggestion quality by recommending active items to actively engaged users. Super-users achieved nearly 100% accuracy, active users achieved 85% accuracy, and passive users achieved a precision of 0.51%, recall of 0.58%, and F1-score of 0.54%. The results indicate that priorities play a significant role in TV-watching scenarios and are effective for active users in dynamic group activities.

Conclusion

A movie recommendation system emphasizing prioritized user activities has been developed, categorizing users into super, active, and passive groups. This prioritization leads to improved recommendation outcomes, aiming to enhance conversion rates. The system analyzes user preferences, item similarities, and user profiles to suggest relevant items, applicable across various domains like movies, travel, and music.

Fact Check

- The study uses the Movie Lens dataset, which is a well-established benchmark for recommendation systems.
- The paper claims nearly 100% accuracy for super-users, 85% for active users, and specific precision, recall, and F1-scores for passive users.
- The authors claim the system can improve recommendation outcomes and enhance conversion rates.
