Probability Matrix Factorization Algorithm for Course Recommendation System Fusing the Influence of Nearest Neighbor Users Based on Cloud Model

With the explosion of data on the online course website, getting the required course information quickly and accurately becomes more and more difficult. In this paper, probability matrix factorization algorithm for course recommendation system fusing the influence of nearest neighbor users based on cloud model is proposed. The proposed algorithm uses the cloud model to compute user similarity and integrates social information into the course recommendation. The experimental results show that the algorithm can improve the accuracy of course recommendation effectively.
