Research on Improved Collaborative Filtering Recommendation Algorithm on MapReduce

Information overload is one of the most serious problems in big data environment, recommendation systems is a way to effectively mitigate the problem. In order to make use of rich user feedback and social networks information and to further improve the performance of the recommendation system, This thesis makes a improvement on the user-based collaborative filtering algorithm by normalization method, Meanwhile the algorithm could be run on the MapReduce in the Hadoop platform. The experimental results show that the algorithm on Hadoop platform can effectively improve the accuracy of the data to recommend and computational efficiency, so as to improve the satisfaction of users.
