Traditional recommendation systems provide appropriate information to a target user after analyzing user preferences based on user profiles and rating histories. However, most of people also consider the friend’s opinions when they purchase some products or watch the movies. As social network services have been recently popularized, many users obtain and exchange their opinions on social networks. This information is reliable because they have close relationships and trust each other. Most of the users are satisfied with the information. In this paper, we propose a recommendation system based on advanced user modeling using social relationship of users. For the user modeling, both direct and indirect relations are considered and the relation weight between users is calculated by using six degrees of Kevin Bacon. From the experimental results, our proposed social filtering method can achieve better performance than a traditional user-based collaborative filtering method.
