Abstract
Reputation systems are employed to provide users with advice on the quality of items on the Web, based on the aggregated value of user-based ratings. Recommender systems are used online to suggest items to users according to the users, expressed preferences. Yet, recommender systems will endorse an item regardless of its reputation value. In this paper, we report the incorporation of reputation models into recommender systems to enhance the accuracy of recommendations. The proposed method separates the implementation of recommender and reputation systems for generality. Our experiment showed that the proposed method could enhance the accuracy of existing recommender systems.
