Abstract

Abstract: With the advent of the internet, the recommender system escorts the users in a customized way to nominate items from a massive set of possible alternatives. The emergence of overspecification in recommender system has emphasized negative effects on the context of prediction. The drift of user interest over time is one of the challenging affairs in present personalized recommender system. In this paper, we present a neural network model to improve the recommendation performance along with usage of fuzzy-based clustering to decide membership value of users and matching imputation to cutback sparsity to some extent. We evaluate our model on the MovieLens dataset and show that our model not only elevates accuracy, but also considers the order in which recommendation should be given. We compare the proposed model with a number of state-of-the-art personalization methods and show the dominance of our model using accuracy metrics such as root-mean-square error and mean absolute error.
