n this Brief Report, we propose an index of user similarity, namely, the transferring similarity, which involves all high-order similarities between users. Accordingly, we design a modified collaborative filtering algorithm, which provides remarkably higher accurate predictions than the standard collaborative filtering. More interestingly, we find that the algorithmic performance will approach...

In this paper, we propose a novel method to compute the similarity between congeneric nodes in bipartite networks. Different from the standard cosine similarity, we take into account the influence of a node’s degree. Substituting this new definition of similarity for the standard cosine similarity, we propose a modified collaborative filtering (MCF). Based on a benchmark database, we...
