In the recent year size of the data that are available to user on online media are increased exponentially. Due to this large amount of data, people face problem to evolutes all such available data because they do not have enough time, so they unable to find useful item. So to overcome this type of problem the recommender system play important role. System filters the data source and provides useful information to them, when this information come in the form of suggestion the system called recommender system. One example of recommender system is amazon.com. This used personalized data to make suggestion that a user can like.

RS generate a recommendation list by several methods these are:
• Collaborative Based Filtering Method
• Content Based Method
• Knowledge-Based Method
• Hybrid Based Method

The hierarchical model of the recommendation system is given below:

2. Approaches to recommendation System

2.1 Collaborative Filtering (CF) Based Approach
Collaborative filtering based recommendation is a technique of filtering data based on the collaboration of other users. Collaborative filtering uses the user-item matrix in spite of user or item information. Collaborative filtering is the mostly used and famous recommender technique, widely used because of its simplicity and good results. The first recommender system, Tapestry [5] use this term of collaborative filtering, and since then it has been widely accepted. It is based on the fact that if two users X and Y have rated n items similarly, or behave similarly in any environment than they will also rate or behave similarly on other items also.
Collaborative filtering is divided into two groups:
• Memory-based: Memory-based b...

...sic system requires knowing like album, artist, singer, composer etc. content-based recommendation system fails to give useful recommendation if the content does not include a sufficient amount of information to differentiate items the that user likes from items that user does not like.
2.3 Hybrid based recommender system
Hybrid based recommender systems merge two or more recommendation approaches to achieve better performance with fewer of the limitations of any individual one. Generally, collaborative filtering based approach is combined with some other method in an effort to remove the problems. Table 1.1 shows some of the hybrid methods that have been used
Robin Burke (2002) provides seven classes of hybrid based method: weighted, switching, mixed, feature combination, feature augmentation, cascade, and meta-level. The details are given in the tabular format.
