Summary

Method for collaborative-filtering tasks. We base the rating of item for user by checking ratings of users with similar tastes

Feature Processing

No feature processing required, however standard outlier removal might be helpful.

Parameters

matrix of user/item ratings

Operating System

independent

Code

function X = userbased( y,M,sizeX,swap,sim,neib) % Neighbour based regression algorithm % calculates similarities between users and than rating for i as % r_u(i) = sum_v sim(u,v) * rv(i) / sqrt(sim(u,u) * sim(v,v)

% Output % X - matrix to be estimated % Input % y - sampled entries % M - masking operator, applied to vectorized form of X % sizeX - size of matrix to be reconstructed % swap - switch to ITEM-BASED (default = 0) % sim - similarity measure (0 - PC, 1 - WPC, 2 - cos sim, default = 0) % neib - percentage of neibours taken into sum

Y = reshape(M(y,2),sizeX);

if nargin < 4
    swap = 0;
end
if nargin < 5
    sim = 0;
end
if nargin < 6
    neib = 0.8;
end
if swap
    Y = Y';
end;

if (sim < 2)
    corr = pearsonsim(Y,sim);
else
    corr = cosinesim(Y);
end;

corr(corr < 0) = 0;

rated = Y>0;
usedcorr = corr * rated';
X = corr * Y';
X = X  ./ usedcorr;
X(usedcorr==0) = mean(y);
X = X';

if (swap)
    X = X';
