An Indirected Recommendation Model for Chinese Microblog

Abstract

Microblog is a browser-based platform for web user’s information sharing and communication. With the rapidly increasing of microblog population, its recommendation function becomes necessary. This paper proposes the recommendation by the Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic model, which combines the user interests into the model to meet their needs. We also conduct a comparative analysis between indirect and direct recommendation algorithms. The experimental results show that the indirect recommendation is more effective for the micro-blog recommendation.
