Abstract  

[Objective] This study proposes an improved recommendation model based on the users’ preferences for fine-grained attributes, aiming to address the data sparsity issues of the exisiting algorithms. [Methods] First, we constructed models for the project-attribute relationship and user-attribute preference. Then, we built simliar clusters for users and projects respectively. Finally, we used the collaborative filtering algorithm to generate recommendation lists based on user or project clusters. [Results] We examined the new method with dataset from Douban.com. Compared with the suboptimal models, the proposed approach significantly improved the Precision and Recall of the recommendation tasks (upto 19.7% and 44.6% respectively). [Limitations] More research is needed to further improve the representation and modeling of multi-dimensional fine-grained attributes. [Conclusions] The proposed model could effectively represent users’ interests and improve the performance of recommendation.
