We enhance recommendations with the notion of support to model the confidence of the recommendations. Moreover, we propose partitioning users into clusters of similar ones. This way, recommendations for users are produced with respect to the preferences of their cluster members without extensively searching for similar users in the whole user base. Finally, we leverage the power of a top-$k$ algorithm for locating the top-$k$ group recommendations.}, identifier = {06094754}, }
