Abstract: Recommender system (RS) is most important methods which offer the recommendation to the online user with ease to make his right decisions on items or services. The User-based Collaborative Filtering (CF) technique is one of mainly important method amongst various recommender systems.Collaborative Filtering (CF) approaches are either model-based/ memory-based. While the previous is more precise, it’s not flexible in compare of model-based approach. Here we proposed a hybrid fuzzy-firefly method to RS, which maintain the precision of memory considered as CF & scalability of model considered as CF. Utilizing the hybrid characteristics, new user model (UM) has been created, which assisted in reaching vital reduction in system difficulty, sparse & create the grip of neighbour transitivity association. UM is working to discovery group of compatible clients in which a memory-based hunt is performed. Experimental results on Movie Lens dataset shows that proposed method not only improves recommendation accuracy significantly but also increases quality of prediction and recommendation performance.
