Recommender systems are well known for their
wide spread use in e-commerce, where they utilize information about user’s interests to generate a list of recommendations. To enhance the recommendation quality, the recommendation techniques have sometimes been combined in hybrid recommenders. In this paper, we propose a weighted hybrid recommender system that integrates multiple recommendation
algorithms together to improve recommendation performance. In the proposed approach, firstly users are classified by applying clustering technique on ratings data. Subsequently, rule-based reasoning (RBR) and case-based reasoning (CBR) are employed separately to choose classes (neighborhoods) of an
active user and then collaborative filtering (CF) is applied on these neighborhoods to produce recommendation lists. These two techniques are respectively called RCF (combination of RBR and CF) and CCF (combination of CBR and CF). The proposed weighted hybrid recommender system (WRCCF)
combines RCF and CCF schemes. Experimental results reveal that the proposed WRCCF consistently outperforms Pearson CF (PCF), RCF, and CCF in terms of prediction and classification accuracy.
