Bio-inspired Collaborative and Content Filtering Method for Online Recommendation Assistant Systems

The authors present a hybrid model of a recommender system. The system includes the characteristics of collaborative and content filtering. Also, the article describes a population filtering algorithm and the architecture of a recommendation system based on it. The results of experimental studies on an array of benchmarks and an estimation of filtering efficiency based on a hybrid model and a population algorithm are presented. The results are compared with the traditional method of collaborative filtering using the Pearson correlation coefficient.
