Although several approaches have been proposed throughout the last decade to build recommender systems (RS), most of them suffer from the cold-start problem. This problem occurs when a new item hits the system or a new user signs up. It is generally recognized that the ability to handle cold users and items is one of the key success factors of any new recommender algorithm. This paper introduces a frequent pattern mining framework for recommender systems (FPRS) - a novel approach to address this challenging task. FPRS is a hybrid RS that incorporates collaborative and content-based recommendation algorithms and employs a frequent pattern (FP) growth algorithm. The article proposes several strategies to combine the generated frequent item sets with content-based methods to mitigate the cold-start problem for both new users and new items. The performed empirical evaluation confirmed its usefulness. Furthermore, the developed solution can be easily combined with any other approach to build a recommender system and can be further extended to make up a complete and standalone RS.

The industrial machine learning applications today involve developing and deploying MLOps pipelines to ensure the versatile quality of forecasting models over an extended period, simultaneously assuring the model's accuracy, stability, short training time, and resilience. In this study, we present the ML pipeline conforming to all the abovementioned aspects of models' quality formulated as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem. We also provide the reference implementation on state-of-the-art methods for data preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensionality reduction, feature and instance selection, model fitting, and ensemble blending. The experimental study on the real data set from the logistics industry confirmed the qualities of the proposed approach, as the successful participation in an international data competition did.

Recommender systems have gained lots of attention due to the rapid increase in the amount of data on the internet. Therefore, the demand for finding more advanced techniques to generate more useful recommendations becomes an urgent. The increasing need for generating more relevant recommendations led to the emergence of many novel recommendation systems, such as Context-aware Recommender System (CARS), which is based on incorporating the contextual information in recommendation systems. The goal of this paper is to propose new recommender systems that utilize the contextual information to find more relevant recommendations.
