Abstract:

Mass diffusion and heat conduction algorithms are commonly used as two classic network structure-based algorithms for information filtering. However, the existing algorithms treat all users equally without distinguishing the contributions of different users and removing malicious users, which results in poor performance. In response to the above problems, we propose a core-user-group-based unbalanced heat conduction and mass diffusion algorithm (core-UHM). The underlying idea is mainly based on the Pareto Principle in the information field, that is, 20% of users dominate 80% of the interaction in the whole system. Based on core users, not only can the quality of resources be guaranteed, but also the computational overhead is greatly saved. Experiments on real academic search log data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.
