The Decision-Making Method Based on a Neural Network Recommender System
摘要
The use of decision support systems (DSS) for making decisions in supply chain management is relevant nowadays. Recommender systems (RS) can be used in addition to expert systems during constructing DSS which allow making decisions based on ratings. However, the rating matrix is generally sparse, and the reconstructing process is usually labor-intensive. Using artificial neural networks (ANN) based on associative memory for rating recovery allows to solve the RS efficiency increasing task. An ANN for rating recovery based on Kohonen maps and a one-step training method increases the training speed. An ANN rating recovery based on auto-associative generalized multilayer perceptron and a one-step training method increases learning accuracy. An ANN rating recovery based on a restricted Cauchy machine and a stochastic training method allows users to work with a large matrix of ratings. The numerical research confirmed the performance of the created software and permitted it to be recommended it for use in the RS for recovery ratings.
