TRSM-RS: A Movie Recommender System Based on Users' Gender and New Weighted Similarity Measure
Mostafa Khalaji

TL;DR
TRSM-RS is a movie recommender system that leverages users' gender and a new weighted similarity measure to enhance scalability and mitigate cold-start issues, showing improved accuracy and precision on MovieLens data.
Contribution
The paper introduces TRSM-RS, a novel recommender system that incorporates gender segmentation and a weighted similarity measure to improve performance and address cold-start problems.
Findings
Improved MAE by up to 5.5% for men and 13.8% for women.
Enhanced accuracy and precision compared to existing methods.
Effective mitigation of cold-start and scalability issues.
Abstract
With the growing data on the Internet, recommender systems have been able to predict users' preferences and offer related movies. Collaborative filtering is one of the most popular algorithms in these systems. The main purpose of collaborative filtering is to find the users or the same items using the rating matrix. By increasing the number of users and items, this algorithm suffers from the scalability problem. On the other hand, due to the unavailability of a large number of user preferences for different items, there is a cold start problem for a new user or item that has a significant impact on system performance. The purpose of this paper is to design a movie recommender system named TRSM-RS using users' demographic information (just users' gender) along with the new weighted similarity measure. By segmenting users based on their gender, the scalability problem is improved, and by…
