Abstract

Recommendation system has been seen to be very useful for user to select an item amongst many. While most existing recommendation system relies either on a collaborative approach or a content-based approach to make recommendations, a combination (a hybrid approach) of them can improve the quality of recommendation. My work is on a hybrid approach where attributes used for content based recommendations are assigned weights depending on their importance to users. The weight values are estimated from a set of linear regression equations obtained from a social network graph which captures human judgment about similarity of items.
