Description
Summary:Recommender System (RS) is successfully applied in predicting user preferences. For instance, RS has been used in many areas such as in e-commerce (for online shopping), in entertainments (music/movie/video clip... recommendation), and in education (learning resource recommendation). In Vietnam, e-commerce is initially growing, thus, RS may be an interesting and potential research topic in the next years. In this work, we shortly introduce about the RS and thoroughly describe one of the prominent techniques in RS which is Matrix Factorization (MF). We describe the MF in details so that the new reader can understand and implement it easily. In the experiments, we set up and compare the MF with other techniques using three data sets from two different areas which are entertainment and education. Experimental results show that the MF can work well in both entertainment (e-commerce) and education domain.
