A hybrid recommendation algorithm based on user nearest neighbor model.

In the realm of e-commerce, personalized recommendations are a crucial component in enhancing user experience and optimizing sales efficiency. To address the inherent sparsity challenge prevalent in collaborative filtering algorithms within personalized recommendation systems, we propose a novel hybrid e-commerce recommendation algorithm based on the User-Nearest-Neighbor model. By integrating the user nearest neighbor model with other recommendation algorithms, this approach effectively mitigates data sparsity and facilitates a more nuanced understanding of the user-product relationship, consequently elevating recommendation quality and enhancing user experience. Taking into account considerations such as data scale and recommendation performance, we conducted experiments utilizing the Spark distributed platform. Empirical findings demonstrate the superiority of our hybrid algorithm over standalone collaborative filtering algorithms across various recommendation indicators.
