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 recommender systems cannot provide the complete mechanisms to meet user needs in several domains and recommender systems show poor performance in cross-domain item recommendations. Within this thesis work, a dynamic framework is proposed which differs from the previous works as it focuses on the easy development of knowledge-based recommenders and it proposes an intensive cross domain capability with the help of domain knowledge. The framework has a generic and flexible structure that data models and user interfaces are generated based on ontologies. New recommendation domains can be integrated to the framework easily in order to improve recommendation diversity. The cross-domain recommendation is accomplished via an abstraction in domain features if the direct matching of the domain features is not possible when the domains are not very close to each other.

A content boosted collaborative filtering approach for movie recommendation based on local & global similarity and missing data prediction
Özbal, Gözde; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
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 recommen...
Execution of distributed database queries on a HPC system
Önder, İbrahim Seçkin; Coşar, Ahmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Increasing performance of computers and ability to connect computers with high speed communication networks make distributed databases systems an attractive research area. In this study, we evaluate communication and data processing capabilities of a HPC machine. We calculate accurate cost formulas for high volume data communication between processing nodes and experimentally measure sorting times. A left deep query plan executer has been implemented and experimentally used for executing plans generated by ...
Efficient index structures for video databases
Açar, Esra; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2008)
Content-based retrieval of multimedia data has been still an active research area. The efficient retrieval of video data is proven a difficult task for content-based video retrieval systems. In this thesis study, a Content-Based Video Retrieval (CBVR) system that adapts two different index structures, namely Slim-Tree and BitMatrix, for efficiently retrieving videos based on low-level features such as color, texture, shape and motion is presented. The system represents low-level features of video data with ...
A hybrid movie recommender using dynamic fuzzy clustering
Gürcan, Fatih; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Recommender systems are information retrieval tools helping users in their information seeking tasks and guiding them in a large space of possible options. Many hybrid recommender systems are proposed so far to overcome shortcomings born of pure content-based (PCB) and pure collaborative fi ltering (PCF) systems. Most studies on recommender systems aim to improve the accuracy and efficiency of predictions. In this thesis, we propose an online hybrid recommender strategy (CBCFdfc) based on content boosted co...
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...
