Abstract: Rapid web growth and associated applications have proven of colossal importance for recommender systems. In the current digital world, a recommender system aims to acquire high-level prediction-based accuracy. However, many studies have suggested diversity-based recommendations are required for high-level accuracy. Group recommendation systems (GRS) recommend lists of items to a group of users according to their social activities, such as planning for a holiday tour, watching movies, etc. Using GRS, preferences/choices shared by users affected all the available aggregation with GRS leads to information loss and negatively affects ‘diversity.’ To handle the problem of ‘information loss,’ which is caused by aggregation, this paper proposes fuzzy-based GRS and argues that communicating such hesitant information will prove beneficial to generating recommendations. To find the valuable suggestions, greater focus must be dedicated to avoiding lack of variety and interest in the complete list of recommendations. In this article, we propose a novel Parallel Computing Group Recommendation System, which quantifies different approaches, chooses the right approach for group recommendation, and quickly generates optimal results. This proposed approach is an ensemble model of parallel ranking and matrix factorization that facilitates a diversified group recommendation list. Experimental evaluation signals that our model achieves higher diversity positively packed with user satisfaction.
