 note = {application/pdf, Recommender systems (RS) analyze user rating information and recommend items that may interest users. Item-based collaborative filtering (IBCF) is widely used in RSs. However, traditional IBCF often cannot provide recommendations with good predictive and classification accuracy at the same time because it assigns equal weights to all items when computing similarity and prediction. However, some items are more relevant and should be assigned greater weight. To address this problem, we propose a niche approach to realize item-variance weighting in IBCF in this paper. In the proposed approach, to improve the predictive accuracy, a novel time-related correlation degree is proposed and applied to form time-aware similarity computation, which can estimate the relationship between two items and reduce the weight of the item rated over a long period. Furthermore, a covering-based rating prediction is proposed to increase classification accuracy, which combines the relationship between items and the target user’s preference into the predicted rating scores. Experimental results suggest that the proposed approach outperforms traditional IBCF and other existing work and can provide recommendations with satisfactory predictive and classification accuracy simultaneously.},
