Abstract
Collaborative filtering has been considered the most used approach for recommender systems in both practice and research. Unfortunately, traditional collaborative filtering suffers from the so-called cold-start problem, which is the challenge to recommend items for an unknown user. In this paper, we introduce a generic framework for social collective recommendations targeting to support and complement traditional recommender systems to achieve better results. Our framework is composed of three modules, namely, a User Clustering module, a Representative module, and an Adaption module. The User Clustering module aims to find groups of users, the Representative module is responsible for determining a representative of each group, and the Adaption module handles new users and assigns them appropriately. By the composition of the framework, the cold-start problem is alleviated.
