Collaborative filtering tries to predict the ratings of a user over some items based on opinions of other users with similar taste. The ratings are usually given in the form of a sparse matrix, the goal being to find the missing entries…
Collaborative Filtering (CF) is a core component of popular web-based services such as Amazon, YouTube, Netflix, and Twitter. Most applications use CF to recommend a small set of items to the user. For instance, YouTube presents to a user a…
Implicit feedback is the simplest form of user feedback that can be used for item recommendation. It is easy to collect and is domain independent. However, there is a lack of negative examples. Previous work tackles this problem by assuming…
We present a technique for estimating the similarity between objects such as movies or foods whose proper representation depends on human perception. Our technique combines a modest number of human similarity assessments to infer a pairwise…
One of the main challenges in recommender systems is data sparsity which leads to high variance. Several attempts have been made to improve the bias-variance trade-off using auxiliary information. In particular, document modeling-based…
Most if not all on-line item-to-item recommendation systems rely on estimation of a distance like measure (rank) of similarity between items. For on-line recommendation systems, time sensitivity of this similarity measure is extremely…
Collaborative Filtering (CF), the most common approach to build Recommender Systems, became pervasive in our daily lives as consumers of products and services. However, challenges limit the effectiveness of Collaborative Filtering…
Recommender systems are aimed at generating a personalized ranked list of items that an end user might be interested in. With the unprecedented success of deep learning in computer vision and speech recognition, recently it has been a hot…
Recommender system has attracted lots of attentions since it helps users alleviate the information overload problem. Matrix factorization technique is one of the most widely employed collaborative filtering techniques in the research of…
A collaborative filtering recommender system predicts user preferences by discovering common features among users and items. We implement such inference using a Bayesian double feature allocation model, that is, a model for random pairs of…
Recommender systems play a central role in providing individualized access to information and services. This paper focuses on collaborative filtering, an approach that exploits the shared structure among mind-liked users and similar items.…
Recommender systems are crucial to alleviate the information overload problem in online worlds. Most of the modern recommender systems capture users' preference towards items via their interactions based on collaborative filtering…
This paper studies the item-to-item recommendation problem in recommender systems from a new perspective of metric learning via implicit feedback. We develop and investigate a personalizable deep metric model that captures both the internal…
The widespread use and popularity of collaborative content sites (e.g., IMDB, Amazon, Yelp, etc.) has created rich resources for users to consult in order to make purchasing decisions on various products such as movies, e-commerce products,…
Sequential recommendation task aims to predict user preference over items in the future given user historical behaviors. The order of user behaviors implies that there are resourceful sequential patterns embedded in the behavior history…
Item-item collaborative filtering (CF) models are a well known and studied family of recommender systems, however current literature does not provide any theoretical explanation of the conditions under which item-based recommendations will…
Collaborative filtering is the simplest but oldest machine learning algorithm in the field of recommender systems. In spite of its long history, it remains a discussion topic in research venues. Usually people use users/items whose…
Recommender system data presents unique challenges to the data mining, machine learning, and algorithms communities. The high missing data rate, in combination with the large scale and high dimensionality that is typical of recommender…
In this paper, we present work-in-progress on applying user pre-filtering to speed up and enhance recommendations based on Collaborative Filtering. We propose to pre-filter users in order to extract a smaller set of candidate neighbors, who…
Collaborative filtering based recommender systems have proven to be extremely successful in settings where user preference data on items is abundant. However, collaborative filtering algorithms are hindered by their weakness against the…
