Semi-metric networks for recommender systems    [PDF]

Tiago Simas, Luis M. Rocha
Weighted graphs obtained from co-occurrence in user-item relations lead to non-metric topologies. We use this semi-metric behavior to issue recommendations, and discuss its relationship to transitive closure on fuzzy graphs. Finally, we test the performance of this method against other item- and user-based recommender systems on the Movielens benchmark. We show that including highly semi-metric edges in our recommendation algorithms leads to better recommendations.
