Improved SVD algorithm based on Slope One

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) algorithm is a good method in Collaborative Filtering (CF) algorithm. But the traditional SVD method faces the matrix sparse problem, people solve this problem by Latent Factor Model (LMF). The data imbalances problem also troubles us. The algorithm of this paper combines Slope One and SVD algorithm to solve the data imbalances problem. First, we use Slope One algorithm to deal with the users who have few rating records. Then this kind of user will have more rating records. And we can use new data set to train the SVD model to predict the final results. The experiment results show that our algorithm is better than the traditional Slope One and SVD algorithm.
