Personalized Nutrition Recommendation for Diabetic Patients Using Optimization Techniques.

Personalization in recommendation system has been emerging as the most predominant area in service computing. Collaborative filtering and content based approaches are two major techniques applied for recommendation. However, to improve the accuracy and enhance user satisfaction, optimization techniques such as Ant Colony and Particle Swarm Optimization were analyzed in this paper. For theoretical analysis, this paper investigates web page recommender system. For experimentation, Diabetic patient’s health records were investigated and recommendation algorithms are applied to suggest appropriate nutrition for improving their health. Experiment result shows that Particle Swarm Optimization outperforms other traditional methods with improved performance and accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
