Abstract
This paper proposes a swarm intelligence based recommender system (FlockRecom) based on the collaborative behavior of bird flocks for generating Top-N recommendations. The flock-based recommender algorithm (FlockRecom) iteratively adjusts the position and speed of dynamic flocks of agents on a visualization panel. By using the neighboring agents on the visualization panel, top-n recommendations are generated. The performance of FlockRecom is evaluated using the Jester Dataset-2 and is compared with a traditional collaborative filtering based recommender system. Experiments on real data illustrate the workings of the recommender system and its advantages over its CF baseline.
