近年来,基于标签构建用户兴趣模型受到了重点关注,然而也有研究对其有效性提出了质疑。为验证标签是否适合作为兴趣建模的基础数据、效果是否更加理想,本文以电影社会化标注系统为例,采用空间向量的方法分别基于标签和项目进行了兴趣建模,并以用户召回率、推荐项目召回率和准确率为评价指标进行了效果比较分析。结果显示,基于标签建模策略效果显著差于基于项目建模策略;但是在用户标注影片较多的情况下,基于标签建模策略也取得较好效果。研究的局限性主要表现在两个方面:一是分析对象选用的是影片,其结果未必适用于音乐、图书、网页等类型的资源;二是研究仅针对影片类型兴趣进行了建模,没有建立综合模型,因而其结果可能未全面反映基于标签和项目建模策略的效果。
In past years, a number of studies focus on tag-based user profiles modeling, but its effectiveness is questioned by some studies. To verify whether social tags are suitable for user profiles modeling, and whether tag-based user profiles' effectiveness is better, this paper takes movies as sample, uses space vector model to construct tag-based and item-based user profiles, and compares their effectiveness by the following three evaluation indexes: user recall, item recall and precision. Based on the results, it is can be concluded that the effectiveness of item-based user profiles is apparently better than tag-based user profiles; but tag-based user profiles for users who tagged enough movies performs well. Limitations of this study are as follows: this study only takes movies as sample, and they may not reprehensive for other types of resources, e.g. music, books and webpages; user profiles only cover users' interests on movie genres, and the results may not comprehensively reflect the effectiveness of tag-based and item-based user profiles.
