    Movie Recommendation Systems Based on Collaborative Filtering: A Case Study on Netflix
    (Erciyes Üniversitesi, 2021) Sütçü, Muhammed; Erdem, Oğuzkan; Kaya, Ecem
    User ratings on items like movies, songs, and shopping products are used_x000D_ by Recommendation Systems (RS) to predict user preferences for items that have_x000D_ not been rated. RS has been utilized to give suggestions to users in various domains_x000D_ and one of the applications of RS is movie recommendation. In this domain, three_x000D_ general algorithms are applied; Collaborative Filtering that provides prediction_x000D_ based on similarities among users, Content-Based Filtering that is fed from the_x000D_ relation between item-user pairs and Hybrid Filtering one which combines these_x000D_ two algorithms. In this paper, we discuss which methods are more efficient in movie_x000D_ recommendation in the framework of Collaborative Filtering. In our analysis, we use_x000D_ Netflix Prize dataset and compare well-known Collaborative Filtering methods_x000D_ which are Singular Value Decomposition, Singular Value Decomposition++, KNearest Neighbour and Co-Clustering. The error of each method is calculated by_x000D_ using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Finally, we conclude that K-Nearest_x000D_ Neighbour method is more successful in our dataset.

    Life Cycle Assessment of the Neutralization Process in a Textile WWTP
    (Erciyes Üniversitesi, 2020) Şener Fidan, Fatma; Kızılkaya Aydoğan, Emel; Uzal, Niğmet
    Although industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) have become_x000D_ an important part of textile facilities in reducing environmental pollution_x000D_ problems, they also produce sludge and various emissions such as high chemical_x000D_ oxygen demand, color and conductivity which have serious negative impacts on_x000D_ the environment. One of the processes with enormous chemical consumption in_x000D_ industrial WWTP of textile facilities is the neutralization process, which aims to_x000D_ adjust the pH of the wastewater. Neutralization processes needed to be optimized_x000D_ in order to determine its overall environmental impacts and then identify the most_x000D_ environmentally appropriate options. The aim of this study is to compare the_x000D_ environmental impacts of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, which are two_x000D_ alternative chemicals used in the neutralization process of textile facilities, using_x000D_ Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach. The environmental impacts resulting from_x000D_ the use of these two chemicals proposed according to the Reference document on_x000D_ Best Available Techniques (BREF) Document for Textile Industry were revealed by_x000D_ the CML-IA method and the gate-to-gate method. According to the results, using_x000D_ carbon dioxide instead of sulfuric acid, the best improvement was in the abiotic_x000D_ depletion category with 92%, while the least improvement was in the_x000D_ eutrophication potential with 39%. No improvement was observed in the global_x000D_ warming potential and human toxicity impacts.
