Using the Jaccard similarity method for recommendation system of books

Abstract

The main goal of pedagogy is to educate the young generation to become mature, knowledgeable and well-rounded individuals in all respects. In this regard, one of the main tasks of the education system is to form a culture of reading among young people, to provide them with textbooks and works of art suitable for their age and intellectual potential. But only if young readers read books suitable for their intellectual potential based on their age characteristics, their knowledge, spirituality, outlook and other positive aspects will develop. If the students do not read the works according to their potential, the reader will not be able to absorb fully the contents of the work he has read, the information in the book will "weight" him. As a result, the reader's desire to read begins to fade. Readers should not read literature that is shallow in content, incompatible with our national spirituality and values, moral standards, and may have a negative impact on the education of young people. Therefore, it is necessary to create a system of recommending works suitable for the intellectual potential of readers. This article examines the application of the Jaccard similarity method to the creation of appropriate reading lists for high school students. For this, a corpus is created on the basis of high-class literature textbooks, and this corpus is compared with literary works. Books with the highest similarity results are recommended for reading. The problem was fully solved on the basis of literature textbooks of 5th-11th grade students and works of art in the Uzbek language.
