Cluster analysis and its application in teaching resources of university curriculum: A personalized method

Abstract

The current personalized recommendation methods for teaching resources of university courses suffer from poor recommendation effectiveness due to the absence of user tags. To address this issue, a new personalized recommendation method based on cluster analysis is proposed. The proposed method leverages web crawler technology to obtain user tags, followed by processing the tags to remove meaningless terms, normalize word forms, and perform data processing. The processed tags are used to calculate user interest preferences for each tag cluster generated by clustering. Based on this, a user interest model is built, and user similarity is calculated to determine the recommendation score of each resource. The recommended resources are then ranked according to their recommendation score and presented to the target user. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves high accuracy, recall rate, and F1 value for personalized recommendation of teaching resources in colleges and universities. In comparison, the method proposed in this paper has a significantly shorter recommendation time of 10.65 s. Further, the proposed model not only takes less time but also has higher recommendation efficiency when compared with existing personalized recommendation methods.
