Before conducting the data analytics, the data was pre-processed to eliminate duplicates and retain only the highest ratings. Collaborative Filtering (CF) techniques, particularly k-Nearest Neighbours (k-NN) and Matrix Factorization (KF), were employed to elicit insightful information for development and to highlight their capabilities in handling enormous datasets. Furthermore, statistical analysis, visualization, elementary modelling, and model combinations were investigated to compare their performance. To reinforce creditability, modelling techniques and parameter adjustments were integrated to optimize the performance of the algorithms, since the results indicated that different model settings and data partitions impacted the effectiveness of the recommendation system. Additionally, these results demonstrated the potential of hybrid models in improving the accuracy and efficiency of recommendation systems and highlighted the trade-off between algorithmic approaches and dataset characteristics that interplay in optimizing the performance of recommendation systems.

Personalized Mood-Centric Book Recommendation Integrating Machine Learning with Content Based Filtering

This paper introduces a novel personalized book recommendation system aimed at enhancing subjective well-being (SWB). Despite the vast array of books available on the internet, people often struggle to find literature that aligns with their current emotional state. The system dynamically detects users' emotional states and recommends books tailored to their mood. It utilizes a content-based filtering algorithm to suggest top-rated books in real-time based on the user's current emotional state. For users with low mood, uplifting and inspirational books are recommended, while a mix of happy and sad books is suggested for happy users to acknowledge the nuanced interplay of emotions. Neutral-themed books are proposed to users with a neutral mood for balance. The system employs an emotion classification algorithm for accurate mood detection, analyzing book summaries to extract emotional tones. Users' emotional states are evaluated using a Likert scale, adjusting recommendations accordingly. The methodology involves data collection, preprocessing, emotion classification, and mood meter operation. Results demonstrate the system's effectiveness in providing tailored book recommendations, enriching users' reading experiences.

Digitalization for enhancing reading habits: the improved hybrid book recommendation system with genre-oriented profiles

PurposeReading habit plays a pivotal role in individuals' personal and academic growth, making it essential to encourage among campus users. University libraries serve as valuable platforms to promote reading by providing access to a diverse range of books and resources. Recommending books through personalized systems not only helps campus users discover new materials but also enhances their engagement and satisfaction with the library’s offerings, contributing to a holistic learning experience.Design/methodology/approachThis study presents a web-based solution, the Web-Based Hybrid Intelligent Book Recommender System (W_HybridBook), as a solution that addresses challenges like cold start issues and limited scalability by factoring in user preferences and item similarities in generating book recommendations. The paper improves the traditional hybrid system using Genre-Oriented Profiles (GOPs) instead of original rating profiles of users when determining similarities between individuals. Consumption-based genre profiles (W_HybridBook-CBP) are created by assessing whether an item has received any ratings in the dataset, and vote-based genre profiles (W_HybridBook-VBP) are generated by considering the genre categories based on the magnitude of the user’s rating.FindingsThe comparative results indicated that users are quite satisfied with the recommendations generated by W\\_HybridBook-VBP profiling, with an average rating of 4.0633 and a precision value of 0.7988. W\\_HybridBook-VBP is also the fastest way with respect to the algorithm and recommendation run time.Originality/valueThe proposed W\\_HybridBook has been then enhanced by adopting two user profiling strategies to boost the similarity calculation process in the recommendation generation phase. This system provides ranking-based recommendations by mainly integrating well-known collaborative and content-based filtering strategies. A dataset has been collected by considering the preferences of both users and academics at Izmir Bakircay University, which is one of the universities with the highest number of books per student. More importantly, this dataset has been released and become publicly available for future research in the recommender system field.

Eliminating bias: enhancing children's book recommendation using a hybrid model of graph convolutional networks and neural matrix factorization.

Managing user bias in large-scale user review data is a significant challenge in optimizing children's book recommendation systems. To tackle this issue, this study introduces a novel hybrid model that combines graph convolutional networks (GCN) based on bipartite graphs and neural matrix factorization (NMF). This model aims to enhance the precision and efficiency of children's book recommendations by accurately capturing user biases. In this model, the complex interactions between users and books are modeled as a bipartite graph, with the users' book ratings serving as the weights of the edges. Through GCN and NMF, we can delve into the structure of the graph and the behavioral patterns of users, more accurately identify and address user biases, and predict their future behaviors. Compared to traditional recommendation systems, our hybrid model excels in handling large-scale user review data. Experimental results confirm that our model has significantly improved in terms of recommendation accuracy and scalability, positively contributing to the advancement of children's book recommendation systems.

An automatic college library book recommendation system using optimized Hidden Markov based weighted fuzzy ranking model

An automated book recommendation system has becoming a necessary role in increasing the efficacy and user experience of college library. The number of books in the library is very large, and it is difficult for students to choose the appropriate book from each department efficiently. The manual selection of books is time-consuming, and an automatic library book recommendation system is highly required. Therefore, this research proposes a novel ranking-based hybrid recommendation system for assisting each student in different department to select required books with minimal time. Initially, pre-processing is done to label each department name, which can effectively reduce the time complexity. Then, weighting is provided for each book using a timestamp based on the days the book was issued between the date of issue and return. After, Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) is computed to find the similarity between the department and the corresponding books. Finally, the Hidden Markov-assisted Chaotic Artificial Humming Bird with Discriminant Analysis and weighted fuzzy ranking (HMCAHB_DA-WFR) model is proposed to classify the books according to the department accurately based on the generated ranks and provides better recommendation to the students. The proposed method is implemented in PYTHON software, and a real-time dataset is utilized from Bhilai Institute of Technology, Durg. The proposed method obtains a better accuracy of 99.2%, Kappa of 97.6%, MAE of 0.074, NMCC of 98.7%, FPR of 0.0085% and FNR of 0.034%. The attained simulation results prove the efficiency of proposed method over other existing methods.

Diversity Balancing in Two-Stage Collaborative Filtering for Book Recommendation Systems

A book recommender system is a system used to provide relevant book recommendations for readers. One approach that is often used in recommender systems is Collaborative Filtering (CF). CF provides book recommendations based on books liked by other similar users. However, CF only provides recommendations for items that are popular, so items that are less popular will be difficult to recommend. Therefore, we propose a book recommendation system based on Two-stages CF using the Diversity Balancing method. Diversity Balancing method in CF is used to balance diversity in the recommendation results by replacing popular items with less popular relevant items. System accuracy is measured using precision and recall, while diversity is measured using personal diversity and aggregate diversity. The test results show that the accuracy of the proposed system increases with the increasing number of recommended items. meanwhile, the diversity of recommended items continues to decrease as more items are included in the recommendation list. In consideration of the trade-off between accuracy and diversity, our system achieves a recall score of 0.301, a precision score of 0.282, a PD score of 0.048, and an AD score of 0.095 with a recommendation list size of 8 items.

Improving Collaborative Filter Using BERT

With the increasing number of books published and the difficulty of obtaining appropriate research attention, the recommendation systems can increase the affordability and availability of these books. In this work, we expand our work to enhance the accuracy of book collaborative filtering by applying semantic similarity to book summaries, in addition to that addressing major problems of the current work by applying effective techniques to handle the scalability and sparsity problems. The proposed approach consists of three stages: preprocessing, building the system, and evaluation. The technologies used in the pre-processing stage included reduction and normalization. The construction system is divided into two phases: semantic similarity and recommendation. The semantic similarity is done by using BERT for sentence embedding and cosine similarity to calculate the similarity between sentences. During the recommendation phase by using CF based on KNN. In the evaluation stage, classification accuracy metrics had been used. The proposed approach improved the accuracy of the book recommendation system and increased the accuracy to 0.89 compared to previous works on a dataset of 271,000 book summaries. The proposed approach yielded better results due to avoiding problems in previous work, such as scalability and sparsity, by using BERT with CF based KNN. Filtering the data using BERT and the KNN algorithm in the CF added strength to the recommendation, which led to an increase in the accuracy rate.

Implementasi Metode Collaborative Filtering Based Untuk Sistem Rekomendasi Buku Fiksi

A book is the result of someone's work in the form of a collection of papers containing articles intended for publication. One of the benefits of books is that they can open people's horizons and can educate reason, thoughts and faith. Indonesia is ranked 60 out of 61 countries with reading interest problems causing low public interest in reading. One of the factors that can be taken into consideration for interest in reading in Indonesia is the difficulty in finding books to read because the many kinds of books in circulation make it difficult for readers to decide which books to read, besides that readers only want to read books with the best reputation. The purpose of creating a book recommendation system is to make it easier to find fiction-type books to read. The data used in this design are book data and rating data from Kaggle. This design uses one of the recommendation system methods, namely collaborative filtering. Collaborative filtering is a recommendation method that calculates similarity between items by users to make choices. The system will recommend 5 books according to the book title that the user will input.

Chatbot-Based Book Recommender System Using Singular Value Decomposition

In the era of information overload, finding the right book that matches one's preferences and interests has become a challenging task for users as many online book provider service websites such as Amazon, Goodreads, and Gramedia provide books of various types and choices. Recommender systems can be used in addressing such issues, it works by filtering information that provides predictions and suggests the best product or service to the user. Currently, various book recommender systems have been developed, but the systems do not provide interaction between the user and the system. Therefore, we propose a recommender system built with a conversational approach so that it can interact with natural language. Recommender system built using matrix factorization method with Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) algorithm, SVD is proven to have advantages for handling large datasets, extracting features, reducing noise and dimensionality so as to speed up computation. We performed two types of evaluation on the system. First, we tested the prediction accuracy using Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) metrics. Second, we use questionnaires to measure user satisfaction levels. The evaluation of the system shows that the results of the prediction accuracy obtain an MAE value of 0.6481 and an RMSE value of 0.8287. Then, the accuracy performance of the system found that 83.2% of users get recommendations according to their interests. The user satisfaction with the whole system is 87.9%. The system built can provide a fairly good recommendation performance, and the chatbot can interact well with users based on the evaluation results obtained.
