For item-based Collaborative Filtering too, one may use alternative similari-
ties metrics such as
adjusted cosine similarity. A good empirical comparison of
variations of item-based methods can be found in [31].
Significance Weighting: It is common for the active user to have highly corre-
lated neighbors that are based on very few co-rated (overlapping) items. These
neighbors based on a small number of overlapping items tend to be bad predic-
tors. One approach to tackle this problem is to multiply the similarity weight by
a
Significance Weighting factor, which devalues the correlations based on few co-
rated items [12].
