Popis: Recommender systems provide useful recommendations to a set of users for items or products that may be of interest to them. Several techniques have been proposed for recommendation such as collaborative, content-based, knowledge-based, and demographic techniques. Each of these techniques suffers from scalability, data sparsity, and cold-start problems when applied individually resulting in poor quality recommendations. This paper proposes an adaptive hybrid recommender system that combines multiple techniques together to enhance the overall recommendation process. Collaborative filtering and demographic techniques are combined in a weighted linear formula. Experiment results using movieLen dataset show that this adaptable hybrid framework is able to outperform the weaknesses shown by traditional recommendation techniques.
