Abstract

To address the issues of data sparsity and limited recommendation scope in collaborative filtering algorithms, a recommendation method based on rating prediction and graph model diffusion, named SIRR (Slope One and Item-based Collaborative Filtering with Random Walk Recommendation) , was proposed. Firstly, a dynamic switching mechanism was designed based on the number of user ratings to predict ratings for unrated items, aiming to address the data sparsity problem. Secondly, the accuracy of similarity computation and the robustness of the collaborative filtering algorithm were improved using regularized cosine similarity. Finally, to overcome the limitation of localized recommendations, a weighted random walk on the graph was applied to expand the recommendation scope, enhancing coverage. To balance recommendation accuracy and diversity, an optimization was achieved by integrating rating weights. The effectiveness of regularized cosine similarity was validated on two datasets of different types. The proposed method was compared with three baseline algorithms on three datasets with varying sparsity levels. Simulation results showed that SIRR performed well across all evaluation metrics. It provides an effective solution to data sparsity and local recommendation problems.
