Abstract:

To address the similarity and cold start problem, a random walk algorithm combining trust and similarity is proposed with the weight TS. The experimental results indicate that the algorithm performs better with the all user data sets and cold start data sets than others in the aspect of accuracy rate, coverage rate as well as the time complexity. The trust value of the data set is used rather than the value computed by an effective method. The algorithm in this research improves the precision of recommendation, coverage rate and quality of recommendation

Key words: trust, similarity, random walk, similarity, cold start
