Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHybrid Enhanced Neighbourhood and Latent Factor Model for Cold-Start RecommendationsAmritha P, Rajkumar KKAmong different recommendation strategies, collaborative filtering remains a commonly utilized method for generating personalized suggestions. The traditional collaborative algorithms face performance declines due to the sparse rating of data and the item cold-start problem. To overcome these challenges, this paper introduces a novel hybrid model called HCE-KNNCF (Hybrid Cognition-Enabled K-Nearest Neighbor Collaborative Filtering). The proposed model generates predicted rating by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 9 · 21 Sep 2026 · 622 accessesView PDFCite
