Resumen

In recent years, virtual online communities have experienced rapid growth. These communities enable individuals to share and manage images or websites by employing tags. A collaborative tagging system (CTS) facilitates the process by which internet users collectively organize resources. CTS offers a plethora of useful information, including tags and timestamps, which can be utilized for recommendations. A tag represents an implicit evaluation of the user?s preference for a particular resource, while timestamps indicate changes in the user?s interests over time. As the amount of information increases, it is feasible to integrate more detailed data, such as tags and timestamps, to improve the quality of personalized recommendations. The current study employs collaborative filtering (CF), which incorporates both tag and time information to enhance recommendation precision. A computational recommender system is established to generate weights and calculate similarities by incorporating tag data and time. The effectiveness of our recommendation model was evaluated by linearly merging tag and time data. In addition, the proposed CF method was validated by applying it to big data sets in the real world. To assess its performance, the size of the neighborhood was adjusted in accordance with the standard CF procedure. The experimental results indicate that our proposed method significantly improves the quality of recommendations compared to the basic CF approach.
