...ts in one event, this event is called transaction as a purchase transaction. We define an item set as a collection of one or more items. An association rule is an expression in the form of X→Y, where X and Y are item sets. In this case the support of the association rule is the fraction of transactions that have both X and Y. On the other hand, the confidence of the rule is how often items in Y appear in transactions that contain X. Given a set of transactions T, the goal of association rule mining is to find all rules having support ≥ minsup threshold and confidence ≥ minconf threshold [15], [16], [17]. 2.2. Recommender Systems Challenges Despite their popularity and advantages, recommender systems have several shortcomings: Cold start: It refers to the situation in which an item cannot be recommended unless it has been rated by a substantial number of users. This problem applies to new and obscure items and is particularly detrimental to users with eclectic taste. Likewise, a new user has to rate a sufficient number of items before the recommendation algorithm be able to provide reliable and accurate recommendations [18]. Sparsity: In many commercial recommender systems, both the num...

.... Let A be a set of items. A transaction T is said to contain A if and only if A ⊆ T. An association rule is an implication of the 342 International Journal of Computer Science and Technology form A⇒B=-=[2,3]-=-, where A ⊆ J, B ⊆ J, and A∩B =∅. The rule A ⇒ B holds in the transaction set D with support s, where s is the percentage of transactions in D that contain A∪ B (i.e., both A and B). This is taken to ...
