It is difficult for the users to reach the most appropriate and reliable item for them among vast number of items and comments on these items. Recommendation systems and trust/reputation systems are one of the solutions to deal with this problem with the help of personalized services. These systems suggest items to the user by estimating the ratings that user would give to them. Use of trust data for giving recommendation has emerged as a new way for giving better recommendations. In the literature, it is shown that trust based recommendation approaches perform better than the ones that are only based on user similarity, or item similarity. In this paper, a comparative review of recommendation systems, trust/reputation systems, and their combined usage is presented. Then, a sample trust based agent oriented recommendation system is proposed and its effectiveness is justified with the help of some experiments.

Suggestions

Explainable recommendations using extracted topics from item reviews and word matching
Tunç, Mert; Alemdar, Hande; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-8-31)
Explanation in the recommendations is a crucial aspect in many applications to share reasoning and context with the users in addition to the recommended item. In this thesis, an innovative method for generating explainable recommendations is designed, implemented, and tested. The proposed design consists of extracting some phrases from the user's written review texts, assigning them to the users as preferences and items as their features, and then generating recommendations using the similarities between th...
BoRGo: a book recommender for reading groups
Saçak Düzgün, Sayıl; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2012)
With the increasing amount of data on web, people start to need tools which will help them to deal with the most significant ones among the thousands. The idea of a system which recommends items to its users emerged to fulfill this inevitable need. But most of the recommender systems make recommendations for individuals. On the other hand, some people need recommendation for items which they will use or for activities which they will attend together. Group recommenders serve for these purposes. Group recomm...
Probabilistic matrix factorization based collaborative filtering with implicit trust derived from review ratings information
Ercan, Eda; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2010)
Recommender systems aim to suggest relevant items that are likely to be of interest to the users using a variety of information resources such as user profiles, trust information and users past predictions. However, typical recommender systems suffer from poor scalability, generating incomprehensible and not useful recommendations and data sparsity problem. In this work, we have proposed a probabilistic matrix factorization based local trust boosted recommendation system which handles data sparsity, scalabil...
Value of supplier flexibility and initial shelf life information for perishable items in an EOQ environment
Ünsal, Saime Ceren; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2019)
Managing items with shelf life is a challenging task in inventory planning. In this study, we consider an infinite horizon, continuous review inventory model with deterministic stationary demand where the shelf life of the items is uncertain. The initial shelf life of the incoming items from the supplier is a discrete random variable. When the age of the items reaches the initial shelf life, a quality control test for which the outcome is random is applied. According to the result of this test, it is possib...
Second Chance: A Hybrid Approach for Dynamic Result Caching in Search Engines
Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Barla Cambazoglu, B.; Ulusoy, Ozgur (2011-01-01)
Result caches are vital for efficiency of search engines. In this work, we propose a novel caching strategy in which a dynamic result cache is split into two layers: an HTML cache and a docID cache. The HTML cache in the first layer stores the result pages computed for queries. The docID cache in the second layer stores ids of documents in search results. Experiments under various scenarios show that, in terms of average query processing time, this hybrid caching approach outperforms the traditional approac...
