Matrix factorization (MF) is a widely used collaborative filtering (CF) algorithm for recommendation systems (RSs), due to its high prediction accuracy, great flexibility and high efficiency in big data processing. However, with the…
Probabilistic matrix factorization (PMF) plays a crucial role in recommendation systems. It requires a large amount of user data (such as user shopping records and movie ratings) to predict personal preferences, and thereby provides users…
Traditional recommendation systems rely on past usage data in order to generate new recommendations. Those approaches fail to generate sensible recommendations for new users and items into the system due to missing information about their…
Recommender systems, which can significantly help users find their interested items from the information era, has attracted an increasing attention from both the scientific and application society. One of the widest applied recommendation…
Recommendation models can effectively estimate underlying user interests and predict one's future behaviors by factorizing an observed user-item rating matrix into products of two sets of latent factors. However, the user-specific embedding…
Recommendation systems personalise suggestions to individuals to help them in their decision making and exploration tasks. In the ideal case, these recommendations, besides of being accurate, should also be novel and explainable. However,…
Large language models (LLMs) have recently been adopted for recommendation by framing user preference modeling as a language generation problem. However, existing latent reasoning approaches typically represent user intent with a single…
Most state-of-the-art top-N collaborative recommender systems work by learning embeddings to jointly represent users and items. Learned embeddings are considered to be effective to solve a variety of tasks. Among others, providing and…
Matrix Factorization is one of the most successful recommender system techniques over the past decade. However, the classic probabilistic theory framework for matrix factorization is modeled using normal distributions. To find better…
Neural collaborative filtering (NCF) and recurrent recommender systems (RRN) have been successful in modeling user-item relational data. However, they are also limited in their assumption of static or sequential modeling of relational data…
Factorization-based models have gained popularity since the Netflix challenge {(2007)}. Since that, various factorization-based models have been developed and these models have been proven to be efficient in predicting users' ratings…
Recommendation systems aim to predict users' feedback on items not exposed to them. Confounding bias arises due to the presence of unmeasured variables (e.g., the socio-economic status of a user) that can affect both a user's exposure and…
Many machine learning systems utilize latent factors as internal representations for making predictions. Since these latent factors are largely uninterpreted, however, predictions made using them are opaque. Collaborative filtering via…
Matrix factorization techniques have been widely used as a method for collaborative filtering for recommender systems. In recent times, different variants of deep learning algorithms have been explored in this setting to improve the task of…
Collaborative Filtering (CF) is one of the most commonly used recommendation methods. CF consists in predicting whether, or how much, a user will like (or dislike) an item by leveraging the knowledge of the user's preferences as well as…
Advanced and effective collaborative filtering methods based on explicit feedback assume that unknown ratings do not follow the same model as the observed ones (\emph{not missing at random}). In this work, we build on this assumption, and…
Matrix factorization (MF) is a common method for collaborative filtering. MF represents user preferences and item attributes by latent factors. Despite that MF is a powerful method, it suffers from not be able to identifying strong…
Matrix factorization (MF) is extensively used to mine the user preference from explicit ratings in recommender systems. However, the reliability of explicit ratings is not always consistent, because many factors may affect the user's final…
Motivated by the needs of online large-scale recommender systems, we specialize the decoupled extended Kalman filter (DEKF) to factorization models, including factorization machines, matrix and tensor factorization, and illustrate the…
Recommendation systems often use online collaborative filtering (CF) algorithms to identify items a given user likes over time, based on ratings that this user and a large number of other users have provided in the past. This problem has…
