Content-based Collaborative Filtering

• Nakif, a content-based collaborative filteirng

  Collaborative filtering is a recommendation method that uses other people's evaluations of items. We develop a content-based collaborative filtering method named Nakif. Nakif aims to recommend information items that match the user's ambiguous tastes. In Nakif, each user has his or her own profile which includes a user-keyword matrix where each element represents the confidence values to aother user's evaluation for each keyword (genre).
