Abstract : The Recommender System (RS) plays an important role in information retrieval techniques in a bid to handle massive online data effectively. It gives suggestions on items/services to the target online user to ensure correct decisions quickly and easily. Collaborative Filtering (CF) is a key approach in RS providing a recommendation to the target online user, based on a rating similarity among users. Unsupervised clustering approach is a model-based CF, which is preferred as it ensures simple and effective recommendation. Such CFs suffer from a high error rate and needs additional iterations for convergence. This paper proposes a Modified k-means clustering approach to eliminate the above mentioned issues to provide well-framed clusters. The novel supervised Adaptive Genetic Neural Network (AGNN) method is proposed to locate the most favored data points in a cluster to deliver effective recommendations. The performance of the proposed RS is measured by conducting an experimental analysis on benchmark MovieLens and Netflix datasets. Results are compared with state-of-the-art methods namely Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Fuzzy based RS models to show the effectiveness of the proposed AGNN method.
