Abstract

In recent years, social networking services and e-commerce have been developing rapidly. The research of recommending in e-commerce service mainly focused on using the collaborative filtering algorithm. But the algorithm had the limitations of data sparsity and cold start. This paper presents a model using TagIEA expert degree metrics in the context of social e-commerce services, where tag and expert degree information are integrated into the collaborative filtering algorithm. The comprehensive recommendation based on the TagIEA expert degree can effectively mitigate the problems of cold start and data sparsity. Finally, this paper verifies the effectiveness of the improved collaborative filtering algorithm by experiments.
