RED: a Rich Epinions Dataset for Recommender Systems

Abstract

Recommender Systems require speci c datasets to evaluate their approach. They do not require the same information: descriptions of users or items or users interactions may be necessary, which is not gathered in today datasets. In this paper, we provide a dataset containing reviews from users on items, trust values between users, items category, categories hierarchy and users expertise on categories. This dataset can be used to evaluate various Recommender Systems using Collaborative Filtering, Content-Based or Trust-Based.
