| Recommendation systems have become essential for filtering vast amounts of information available on the internet. Traditional collaborative filtering methods face challenges such as data sparsity and scalability issues. To address these limitations, we propose ColBic, a novel collaborative filtering approach based on biclustering and Iterative Local Search (ILS). Our method enhances recommendation accuracy by grouping users and items into dense biclusters and refining them through iterative optimization. Experimental results on the MovieLens-100K and MovieLens-1M datasets demonstrate that ColBic outperforms traditional collaborative filtering methods in terms of accuracy and coverage. |
