Notably, we examine several similarity measures, various criteria for generating the recommendation list, the appropriateness of evaluation metrics, Konstan, and Riedl (2002) weight similarities by the number of common ratings between users/items. • Stage 2: top-N list generation with algorithms that construct a list of best items recommendations for a user. Past/future data: In real-world applications, recommendations are derived only from the currently available ratings of the test user. example, if we use two past-items, we have to compute similarities based only on the provided two ratings and we of U1 and U2 users, when only co-rated items are considered, then the similarity measure will be computed based First, we examine user-based CF algorithms and compare the existing Pearson similarity and WS measures ./cache/work_w7p2v35cpfenzaihw4nyphoxeq.pdf ./txt/work_w7p2v35cpfenzaihw4nyphoxeq.txt
