We proposed a novel similarity measure using weighted difference entropy (WDE) to improve the performance of the CF system. The proposed similarity metric evaluates the entropy with a preference score difference between the common rated items of two users, and normalizes it based on the Gaussian, tanh and sigmoid function. We showed significant improvement of experimental results and environments. These experiments involved changing the number of nearest neighborhoods, and we presented experimental results for two data sets with different characteristics, and results for the quality of recommendation.
