Abstract

Temporal factor plays an important role in products and services recommended process. It is necessary to combine temporal factors with effective methods to improve recommendation performance. In this paper, we present a novel approach to improve personalized recommendation performance with changing user preferences based on temporal dataset. In the approach, we take consideration of different influence of long and short-term user preferences and construct a preference transfer model based on our enhanced Hidden Markov Model. Then we accomplish preference fusion by adopting our Long and Short Term Graph, a graph model modified from Session-based Temporal Graph, to recommend unknown items. Finally, the experimental results show that our approach achieves important improvements compared to some existing approaches in performance.
