Abstract

Recommendation systems are best choice to cope with the problem of information overload. These systems are commonly used in recent years help to match users with different items. The increasing amount of available data on internet in recent year’s pretenses some great challenges in the field of recommender systems. Main challenge is to predict the user preference and provide favorable recommendations. In this article, we present a new mechanism to improve the prediction accuracy in recommendations. Our method includes a discretization step and chi-square algorithm for attribute selection. Results on MovieLens dataset show that our technique performs well and minimize the error ratio.
