Abstract/Summary

The recent increase in the amount of information available online pushed the traditional query-based search methods to the limit. The information retrieval (IR) community made a counterproposal stating that building a personalized web surfing experience to the user. The aim of this research was to design a recommendation system that uses Tversky commonality model with LSI algorithm to solve the issues that the traditional collaborative filtering based recommender systems pose: sparsity and scalability. With the help of the commonality and similarity measurement, The LSI algorithm with commonality and similarity performed better than the traditional LSI-based recommendation algorithm.
