Multi-Objective Optimization-Based Recommendation for Massive Online Learning Resources

Abstract

As an important research topic in intelligent teaching systems, personalized recommendation services of learning resources can effectively solve the “information overload” problem and provide effective learning. However, the traditional learning resource recommendation technology mainly aims to improve recommendation accuracy and cannot effectively ensure the diversity and novelty of recommendation results. In this paper, the learning resource recommendation task is modelled with a multi-objective optimization problem. This paper proposes the Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm-based online learning Resource Recommendation Model to balance the system’s accuracy, novelty, and diversity. The proposed model includes the following four steps: learning clustering, optimization goal setting individual representation, and genetic operator. According to the experimental results, this algorithm can improve the recommendation performance of online learning resources. Compared with the existing recommendation algorithms, more accurate, diverse, and novel learning resource recommendation results can be obtained with the proposed algorithm.
