Recently, it has become more and more difficult for the existing web based systems to locate or retrieve any kind of relevant information, due to the rapid growth of the World Wide Web (WWW) in terms of the information space and the amount of the users in that space. However, in today's world, many systems and approaches make it possible for the users to be guided by the recommendations that they provide about new items such as articles, news, books, music, and movies. However, a lot of traditional recommender systems result in failure when the data to be used throughout the recommendation process is sparse. In another sense, when there exists an inadequate number of items or users in the system, unsuccessful recommendations are produced. Within this thesis work, ReMovender, a web based movie recommendation system, which uses a content boosted collaborative filtering approach, will be presented. ReMovender combines the local/global similarity and missing data prediction v techniques in order to handle the previously mentioned sparseness problem effectively. Besides, by putting the content information of the movies into consideration during the item similarity calculations, the goal of making more successful and realistic predictions is achieved.

A content boosted collaborative filtering approach for recommender systems based on multi level and bidirectional trust data Şahinkaya, Ferhat; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) As the Internet became widespread all over the world, people started to share great amount of data on the web and almost every people joined different data networks in order to have a quick access to data shared among people and survive against the information overload on the web. Recommender systems are created to provide users more personalized information services and to make data available for people without an extra effort. Most of these systems aim to get or learn user preferences, explicitly or impli...
A hybrid recommendation system capturing the effect of time and demographic data Oktay, Fulya; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) The information that World Wide Web (WWW) provides have grown up very rapidly in recent years, which resulted in new approaches for people to reach the information they need. Although web pages and search engines are indeed strong enough for us to reach what we want, it is not an efficient solution to present data and wait people to reach it. Some more creative and beneficial methods had to be developed for decreasing the time to reach the information and increase the quality of the information. Recommendat...
Crossing: a framework to develop knowledge-based recommenders in cross domains Azak, Mustafa; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Over the last decade, excess amount of information is being provided on the web and information filtering systems such as recommender systems have become one of the most important technologies to overcome the „Information Overload‟ problem by providing personalized services to users. Several researches have been made to improve quality of recommendations and provide maximum user satisfaction within a single domain based on the domain specific knowledge. However, the current infrastructures of the recommende...
Mining frequent semantic event patterns Söztutar, Enis; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) Especially with the wide use of dynamic page generation, and richer user interaction in Web, traditional web usage mining methods, which are based on the pageview concept are of limited usability. For overcoming the difficulty of capturing usage behaviour, we define the concept of semantic events. Conceptually, events are higher level actions of a user in a web site, that are technically independent of pageviews. Events are modelled as objects in the domain of the web site, with associated properties. A sam...
A content based movie recommendation system empowered by collaborative missing data prediction Karaman, Hilal; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) The evolution of the Internet has brought us into a world that represents a huge amount of information items such as music, movies, books, web pages, etc. with varying quality. As a result of this huge universe of items, people get confused and the question “Which one should I choose?” arises in their minds. Recommendation Systems address the problem of getting confused about items to choose, and filter a specific type of information with a specific information filtering technique that attempts to present i...
