摘要

Personalized recommender systems are becoming more popular to reduce the issue of information overload. It is also observed that the recommendations provided by multi-criteria recommender system (MCRS) are more accurate and precise in comparison to conventional single-criteria recommender systems. MCRS incorporates customers’ preferences based on multiple criteria while recommending any item. Recent research has shown that MCRS can efficiently use implicit and explicit input across various dimensions to make exact recommendations across multiple domains. Due to use of multiple criteria, existing MCRS methods often struggle with effectively aggregating and interpreting these criteria, making it hard to accurately determine user preferences. In this article, we introduce a novel adaptive attention mechanism that dynamically assigns weights to each criterion based on user preferences. Each criterion is initially weighted based on its importance to a user. An attention mechanism is used to understand the exact user’s preference for each criterion. Later, the nearest-neighbor method finds users with similar interest to predict unknown ratings which is further used for Top-N recommendations. The performance of the proposed approach (AM-MCRS) is validated on Yahoo! movies multi-criteria dataset having 1716 unique users and 965 different movies and a comparative analysis is performed with existing single and multi-criteria recommender systems. The results clearly show that the AM-MCRS methodology outperform baseline methods, achieving the highest precision (0.9412), F-score (0.9343), accuracy (0.929), and coverage (0.9407), while also observing a significant reduction in MAE (0.7623) and RMSE (0.9145). These findings highlight the capability of AM-MCRS to improve recommendation accuracy and dependability across various domains.
