Recommender system is a kind of web intelligence techniques to make a daily information filtering for people. Researchers have developed collaborative recommenders (social recommenders), content-based recommenders, and some hybrid systems. In this paper, we introduce a new hybrid recommender method - ICHM where clustering techniques have been applied to the item-based collaborative filtering framework. It provides a way to integrate the content information into the collaborative filtering, which contributes to not only reducing the sparsity of data set but also solving the cold start problem. Extensive experiments have been conducted on MovieLense data to analyze the characteristics of our technique. The results show that our approach contributes to the improvement of prediction quality of the item-based collaborative filtering, especially for the cold start problem.
