碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 資訊管理學系研究所 === 91 === Literature digital libraries are the source of digitalized literature data, from which Researchers can search for articles that meet their personal interest. However, Users often confused by the large number of articles stored in a digital library and a single query will typically yield a large number of articles, among which only a small subset will indeed interest the user. To provide more effective and efficient information search, many systems are equipped with a recommendation subsystem that recommends articles that users might be interested. In this thesis, we aim to research a number of recommendation techniques for making personalized recommendation. In light of the previous work that used collaborative approach for making recommendation for literature digital libraries, in this thesis, we first propose three content-based recommendation approaches, followed by a set of hybrid approaches that combine both content-based and collaborative methods. These alternatives and approaches were evaluated using the web log of an operational electronic thesis system at NSYSU. It has been found the hybrid approaches yields better quality of articles recommendation.
