A common neighbour based two-way collaborative recommendation method
Lin Chen, Richi Nayak, Yue Xu · 2012
Traditional recommendation methods offer items, that are inanimate and one way recommendation, to users. Emerging new applications such as online dating or job recruitments require reciprocal people-to-people recommendations that are animate and two-way recommendations. In this paper, we propose a reciprocal collaborative method based on the concepts of users' similarities and common neighbors. The dataset employed for the experiment is gathered from a real life online dating network. The proposed method is compared with baseline methods that use traditional collaborative algorithms. Results show the proposed method can achieve noticeably better performance than the baseline methods.
