In this era of exponential growth in the scale of data, information overload has become an urgent problem, and the use of increasingly flexible sensor cloud systems (SCS) for data collection has become a mainstream trend. Recommendation algorithms can search massive data sets to uncover information that meets the needs of users based on their interests. To improve the accuracy of recommendation scoring, this article proposes a score prediction algorithm that combines deep learning and matrix factorization. To address the problem of sparse scoring data, our study employs a sensor cloud system to collect data information, preprocesses the collected information, and then uses a deep learning model combined with explicit and implicit feedback to generate recommendations. The proposed algorithm, MF-NeuRec, combines fusion matrix decomposition and the NeuRec model score prediction algorithm. The algorithm employs user-based and item-based NeuRec algorithms to extract the feature vectors of users and items under implicit feedback data. The obtained user and item feature vectors are integrated in a certain ratio through the use of matrix decomposition under the display feedback data. The user and item feature vectors obtained by the algorithm are merged and analyzed to predict how users will rate items. Experiments demonstrate that the algorithm can improve the accuracy of recommendations.
