Abstract

The existing collaborative filtering recommendation algorithms have some problems. Some factors, such as one-sided rating, strong subjectivity, sparsity rating matrix, and so on, which affect the accuracy of recommendation. Moreover, there is privacy leakage in the recommendation. To solve the above problems, this paper proposed a collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on the mixed similarity and differential privacy. Firstly, in order to improve the recommendation accuracy, it constructed the mixed similarity based on the weighted calculation for some similarity methods. Then, it used the mixed similarity as the condition for the centroid updating and classification of the K-means algorithm, and clustered users with high similarity to target user by the improved K-means algorithm. Furthermore, the algorithm divided the target users into subsets by the enumeration method, and constructed the utility function based on the mixed similarity. Specifically, for purpose of protecting users' privacy, based on the differential privacy indexing mechanism of utility function, the algorithm selected the neighbor sets from subsets. Finally, the algorithm selected and recommended the items with the highest score from the neighbor sets. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can not only protect users' privacy, but also improve the accuracy of recommendation effectively.
