Abstract

Collaborative filtering (CF) is identifies the preference of a consumer/guest for a new product/hotel by using only the information collected from other consumers/guests with similar products/hotels in the database. It has been widely used as filtering techniques because it is not necessary to apply more complicated content analysis. However, it is difficult to take users criteria into account. Some of the item-based collaborative filtering take users preferences or votes for the item into account. One problem of these approaches is a data sparseness problem that the user preferences were not tagged all the items. In this paper, we propose a new recommender method incorporating the results of sentiment analysis of guest reviews. The results obtained by our method using real-world data sets demonstrate a performance improvement compared to the four baselines.
