Users continuously use the content on these platforms. Therefore, the most important data in interactive platforms are interaction records, which contain an enormous amount of information regarding user interests at any given time. However, previous recommendation approaches have been unable to process such records satisfactorily. Therefore, we propose an LSTM-based recommendation approach for interaction records. In our approach, we used a recurrent neural network (RNN) based on LSTM to make recommendations by learning user interests and their changing trend. We propose a pretreatment called serial filling at equal ratio to apply LSTM. Further, we used a dimensionality reduction technique based on matrix factorization to improve the system efficiency. Finally, we evaluated our approach using Steam datasets. As indicated by the results, our approach performs better than other conventional approaches in three aspects: Accuracy, efficiency, and diversity..

5. Tomoaki Imajo, Kazutoshi Sumiya, Taketoshi Ushiama, An SNS Based on Implicit Beneficial Social Relations in A Regional Community, Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Management and Communication, 2016.01, In this paper, we propose a novel Social Networking Service (SNS) for a regional community. The purpose of the SNS is to support and encourage people by making them aware beneficial social relations in the real world. The conventional SNSs can hardly deal with beneficial social relations, because they are implicit and dynamic. The proposed SNS is designed to provide positive information for two types of people: people who does community voluntary works, such as cleaning, as contributors, and people who receives benefit from them as beneficiary. This paper introduces the basic scheme based on the SNS for beneficial social relations, and evaluates the effectiveness of our scheme based on the result of the experimental studies. The experimental result shows the users of our SNS tend to consider the information about the voluntary works valuable if they have been performed in their living area, and it suggests that our proposed SNS system would work well in a regional community..
