Abstract
Collaborative filtering is one of the well known and most extensive techniques in recommendation system its basic idea is to predict which items a user would be interested in based on their preferences. Recommendation systems using collaborative filtering are able to provide an accurate prediction when enough data is provided, because this technique is based on the user’s preference. User-based collaborative filtering has been very successful in the past to predict the customer’s behavior as the most important part of the recommendation system. However, their widespread use has revealed some real challenges, such as data sparsity and data scalability, with gradually increasing the number of users and items. To improve the execution time and accuracy of the prediction problem, this paper proposed item-based collaborative filtering applying dimension reduction in a recommendation system. It demonstrates that the proposed approach can achieve better performance and execution time for the recommendation system in terms of existing challenges, according to evaluation metrics using Mean Absolute Error (MAE).
