A Hybrid Deep Ranking Weighted Multi-Hashing Recommender System

Abstract

In countries where there is a low availability of resources for language, businesses face the challenge of overcoming language barriers to reach their customers. One possible solution is to use collaborative filtering-based recommendation systems in their native languages. These systems employ algorithms that understand the customers’ preferences and suggest products or services in their native language. Collaborative filtering (CF) is a popular recommendation technique that simulates word-of-mouth phenomena. However, the accuracy of a CF recommendation can be affected by sparse data. In this research paper, we present a novel hybrid weighted multi-deep ranking supervised hashing (HWMDRH) approach. Our method leverages both user-based and item-based CF by merging the item-based deep ranking weighted multi-hash recommender system prediction with the user-based deep ranking weighted multi-hash recommender system prediction to generate Top-N prediction. We conducted extensive experiments on the MovieLens 1M dataset, and our results show that the proposed HWMDRH model outperforms existing models and achieves state-of-the-art performance across recall, precision, RMSE, and F1-score metrics.
