Table 2 Hybrid filtering methods

From: A systematic review and research perspective on recommender systems

Hybrid methods

Description

Meta-level

A pre-learned model is used as an input to another recommender system

Feature combination

The features of one recommender system are injected into another

Feature augmentation

The result of one model is applied as an input to another

Mixed hybridization

The output of different recommender systems are mixed, and the combined result is given as a recommendation

Cascade hybridization

One system improvises the output of another

Switching hybridization

Select one recommender model based on the current requirement

Weighted hybridization

Ratings of different techniques are aggregated to compute a single recommendation
