The application discloses a recommendation
system explanation method and device based on weighted association
rule mining, first, using the rating data of users to the items to
train the latent factor
recommendation model, based on the trained latent factor
recommendation model, generating top-N recommended items for each user; then, the rating data of users to the items is preprocessed into weighted
transaction data in the form of <T id ,{(I1,R1),…,(I x ,R x )}>; then, using the weighted
transaction data as input, generating weighted association rules using the weighted association
rule mining algorithm; finally, matching the recommended items of each user with the weighted association rules, generating personalized explanations for the users. The recommendation
system explanation method based on the weighted association
rule mining uses the weighted association rules to explain the recommended items, decouples the explanation mechanism from the
recommendation model, generates explanations after the recommendation model provides the recommended items, can be applied to different latent factor recommendation models, and has the characteristics of flexibility and generality.
