Abstract

With the introduction of Web 2.0; The users’ generated content like Reviews, Feedbacks, comments, Web Chats, Votes (Likes | Dislikes), Ratings (Stars Ratings) have grown exponentially over time and provided great opportunity for Research Scholars, Organizations, Businesses to mine this useful information and make use of it for variety of novel work like Recommendations. As the time passed, the information overloading problem arrives. There is lot of users’ generated data collected by Organizations and Businesses such as Reviews; How to extract useful information from these reviews and make a perfect recommendation is crucial. Traditional Recommender Systems (RS) considering a number of factors, such as product category, Stars Ratings, Location, user purchase history and other social factors. In this paper we have implemented the Recommender System as proposed by Lei et. al. [5]. The dataset was taken from yelp.com. Model Training is done by Latent Dirichlet Algorithm(LDA) along with Sentimental Dictionaries and Score computation methods as proposed by Lei et. al.[5]. The whole work has been implemented on MatLab (2016a) and experimental results were also analyzed.
