Abstract: In today’s world, people are flooded with a lot of information, and no. of choices are overwhelming. For example, in any online shopping platform such as Amazon, if we search for a particular product, thousands of results appear and it becomes very difficult to select an item from vast pool of options. The growth of digital information and the number of users over the Internet has created a potential problem of information overload. The recommendation system solves this problem by searching through a large volume of data and providing personalized content to the user. This paper describes the introduction to the recommendation system, its three main types – content-based filtering, collaborative filtering, and hybrid filtering, and addresses the data sparsity problem. This paper proposed a collaborative filtering approach using matrix factorization to mitigate the sparsity problem and improve the quality of the recommendation.
