Abstract  

[Objective] Make use of the friends and historical behavior of users in social network, to recommend potential friends for the target users. [Methods] The proportion of common friends and the proportion of interaction are used as indicators to measure the closeness of the relationship in a social network graph. The relationship between friends is scored according to sociality interest and interest similarity, and the Top-k users with the highest scores are recommended to the target users. [Results] Experimental results show that the precision rate and recall rate of this method are improved significantly in comparison with traditional methods. [Limitations] Abnormal interaction without identification and treatment, may affect the accuracy of the recommendation results. [Conclusions] Considering more factors, including the proportion of interaction, the improved friend recommendation method has a better effect than traditional single factor method.

Key wordsSocial network      Friend recommendation      Interest similarity      Interaction
