Abstract: The explosion of internet news data has led to frequent information overload, which in turn has caused the dual problems of low recommendation quality and poor user experience. The research combines machine learning with image matching algorithms to provide users with interesting news content. Firstly, the news recommendation algorithm based on multi-task learning (MTL) constructs the input sequence through the users click history, maps the inputs of different tasks to the shared space and extracts text features. The image matching algorithm is adopted to record users historical preferences and capture the changing trends of interests. Experimental data show that the accuracy rate of the content-based recommendation (CB) algorithm reaches 78.27%. The collaborative filtering (CF) recommendation algorithm reached 87.97%. The recommendation accuracy of the joint recommendation algorithm all exceeds 90%. Moreover, the accuracy of the joint recommendation algorithm significantly exceeds that of the two traditional recommendation methods, CB and CF.

Keywords: machine learning; image matching algorithm; collaborative filtering; news recommendations; content-based recommendation.
