Abstract
The recommender systems are used to mainly suggest recommendations to the online users by utilizing the user preferences recorded during the item purchase. No matter how, the performance of the recommendation quality seems to be inevitable and far satisfactory. In this paper, a new approach based on the mathematical model, Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is used to improve the rating prediction of the unknown users which can certainly overcome the issues of the existing approaches like data sparsity, high dimensionality of data, performance of the recommendation generated for top n recommendation. The FCA method is applied using Boolean Matrix Factorization (ie. optimal formal concepts) in predicting the rating of the unknown users in the available user-item interaction matrix which proves to be more efficient in tackling the problem of computational complexity managing the high dimensionality of data. The proposed method is applied using item-based collaborative filtering technique and the experiment is conducted on the Movielens dataset which shows the satisfactory results. The experiments results are evaluated using the related error metrics and performance metrics. The experimental results are also compared with existing item-based Collaborative Filtering techniques which demonstrate that the performance of recommendation quality gradually improved with state-of-the-art existing techniques.
