Effective page recommendation algorithms based on distributed learning automata

Different efforts have been done to address the problem of information overload on the Internet. Recommender systems aim at directing users through this information space, toward the resources that best meet their needs and interests by extracting knowledge from the previous users' interactions. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to solve the web page recommendation problem. In our algorithm, we use distributed learning automata to learn the behavior of previous users' and recommend pages to the current user based on learned pattern. Our experiments on real data set show that the proposed algorithm performs better than the other algorithms that we compared to and, at the same time, it is less complex than other algorithms with respect to memory usage and computational cost too.
