Offering Collaborative-like Recommendationis When Data is Sparse: The Case of Attraction-weighted Information Filtering

de BRUYN Arnaud , GILES C.L., PENNOCK D.M.

We propose a low-dimensional weigthing scheme to map information filtering recommendations into more relevant, collaborative filtering-like recommendations where items are weigthed by attraction indexes representing existing customers' preferences. A first study conducted with consumers within an online bookseller context indicates that recommendations made by our system favorably compare to data-hungry collaborative filtering systems, while requiring much less data.
