Abstract:

Social tagging is one of the most important characteristics of Web 2.0 services, and social tagging systems (STS) are becoming more and more popular for users to annotate, organize and share items on the Web. Moreover, online social network has been incorporated into social tagging systems. As more and more users tend to interact with real friends on the Web, personalized user recommendation service provided in social tagging systems is very appealing. In this paper, we propose a personalized user recommendation method, and our method handles not only the users’ interest networks, but also the social network information. We empirically show that our method outperforms a state-of-the-art method on real dataset from Last.fm dataset and Douban.
