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,…
Previous studies show that recommendation algorithms based on historical behaviors of users can provide satisfactory recommendation performance. Many of these algorithms pay attention to the interest of users, while ignore the influence of…
With ever-increasing amounts of online information available, modeling and predicting individual preferences-for books or articles, for example-is becoming more and more important. Good predictions enable us to improve advice to users, and…
Recommender systems, inferring users' preferences from their historical activities and personal profiles, have been an enormous success in the last several years. Most of the existing works are based on the similarities of users, objects or…
Matrix factorization is a very common machine learning technique in recommender systems. Bayesian Matrix Factorization (BMF) algorithms would be attractive because of their ability to quantify uncertainty in their predictions and avoid…
In the past decade, matrix factorization has been extensively researched and has become one of the most popular techniques for personalized recommendations. Nevertheless, the dot product adopted in matrix factorization based recommender…
Positive semidefinite matrix factorization (PSDMF) expresses each entry of a nonnegative matrix as the inner product of two positive semidefinite (psd) matrices. When all these psd matrices are constrained to be diagonal, this model is…
Recommender system is currently widely used in many e-commerce systems, such as Amazon, eBay, and so on. It aims to help users to find items which they may be interested in. In literature, neighborhood-based collaborative filtering and…
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…
In this paper, by introducing a new user similarity index base on the diffusion process, we propose a modified collaborative filtering (MCF) algorithm, which has remarkably higher accuracy than the standard collaborative filtering. In the…
With an increasing focus on data privacy, there have been pilot studies on recommender systems in a federated learning (FL) framework, where multiple parties collaboratively train a model without sharing their data. Most of these studies…
With the incredibly growing amount of multimedia data shared on the social media platforms, recommender systems have become an important necessity to ease users' burden on the information overload. In such a scenario, extensive amount of…
Previous work on recommender systems mainly focus on fitting the ratings provided by users. However, the response patterns, i.e., some items are rated while others not, are generally ignored. We argue that failing to observe such response…
Matrix factorization (MF) is a simple collaborative filtering technique that achieves superior recommendation accuracy by decomposing the user-item interaction matrix into user and item latent matrices. Because the model typically learns…
Recommender systems research has experienced different stages such as from user preference understanding to content analysis. Typical recommendation algorithms were built on the following bases: (1) assuming users and items are IID, namely…
Collaborative filtering generates recommendations by exploiting user-item similarities based on rating data, which often contains numerous unrated items. To predict scores for unrated items, matrix factorization techniques such as…
Factorization machines (FMs) are a powerful tool for regression and classification in the context of sparse observations, that has been successfully applied to collaborative filtering, especially when side information over users or items is…
The essence of the challenges cold start and sparsity in Recommender Systems (RS) is that the extant techniques, such as Collaborative Filtering (CF) and Matrix Factorization (MF), mainly rely on the user-item rating matrix, which sometimes…
Matrix completion is widely used in machine learning, engineering control, image processing, and recommendation systems. Currently, a popular algorithm for matrix completion is Singular Value Threshold (SVT). In this algorithm, the singular…
