RECOMMENDATION ALGORITHM USING DATA CLUSTERING

Recommender systems play a vital role in the marketing of various goods and services. Despite the intensive growth of the theory of recommendation algorithms and a large number of their implementations, many issues remain unresolved; in particular, scalability, quality of recommendations in conditions of sparse data, and cold start. A modified collaborative filtering algorithm based on data clustering with the dynamic determination of the number of clusters and initial centroids has been developed.
