Popis: With the huge amount of information available on the Internet, recommendation systems gained popularity over the years. Traditional recommendation algorithm usually uses collaborative filtering to determine user and item similarity. However, data sparsity and overfitting affects the accuracy of the recommendation systems that lead to poor recommendation quality. This paper presents an enhanced recommendation algorithm based on modified user-based collaborative filtering to overcome the problem and improve the recommendation quality. The enhanced algorithm was compared to the traditional algorithm using the MovieLens dataset and evaluates its accuracy and performance using the Root Mean Square Error (RSME), Precision and Recall. The experimental results show that the enhanced algorithm outperforms the traditional algorithm and improves the accuracy of the recommendation.
