In this paper, the statistical property, namely degree correlation between users and objects, is taken into account and be embedded into the similarity index of collaborative filtering (CF) algorithm to improve the algorithmic performance. The numerical simulation on a benchmark data set shows that the algorithmic accuracy of the presented algorithm, measured by the average ranking score, is...

In this paper, we propose a spreading activation approach for collaborative filtering (SA-CF). By using the opinion spreading process, the similarity between any users can be obtained. The algorithm has remarkably higher accuracy than the standard collaborative filtering using the Pearson correlation. Furthermore, we introduce a free parameter β to regulate the contributions of objects to...

In this paper, based on a weighted projection of the user-object bipartite network, we study the effects of user tastes on the mass-diffusion-based personalized recommendation algorithm, where a user's tastes or interests are defined by the average degree of the objects he has collected. We argue that the initial recommendation power located on the objects should be determined by both of their...
