Abstract(in English) Collaborative filtering is one of the most popular and effective recommendation algorithms based on user-user or item-item similarity. Generally, distance metrics such as Pearson's correlation coefficient are used as the similarity. Although, effectiveness of similarity computation method was widely discussed from various perspectives, there are few considerations of computation methods for optimal similarity in collaborative filtering. In this research, similarity optimization problem were formulated by defining similarities between a active user and the other users as a vector variable. Then, a quasi-optimal solution was obtained and it was compared with Pearson's correlation coefficient. Additionally, we propose and evaluate similarity computation method based on optimization.
