Item cold-start is a pervasive challenge for collaborative filtering (CF) recommender systems. Existing methods often train cold-start models by mapping auxiliary item content, such as images or text descriptions, into the embedding space…
Cold start is an essential and persistent problem in recommender systems. State-of-the-art solutions rely on training hybrid models for both cold-start and existing users/items, based on the auxiliary information. Such a hybrid model would…
The cold-start recommendation is an urgent problem in contemporary online applications. It aims to provide users whose behaviors are literally sparse with as accurate recommendations as possible. Many data-driven algorithms, such as the…
The trend of data mining using deep learning models on graph neural networks has proven effective in identifying object features through signal encoders and decoders, particularly in recommendation systems utilizing collaborative filtering…
Recommender systems have become an essential instrument in a wide range of industries to personalize the user experience. A significant issue that has captured both researchers' and industry experts' attention is the cold start problem for…
Recommender systems are a subset of information filtering systems designed to predict and suggest items that users may find interesting or relevant based on their preferences, behaviors, or interactions. By analyzing user data such as past…
Recommender systems are emerging technologies that nowadays can be found in many applications such as Amazon, Netflix, and so on. These systems help users to find relevant information, recommendations, and their preferred items. Slightly…
State-of-the-art music recommender systems are based on collaborative filtering, which builds upon learning similarities between users and songs from the available listening data. These approaches inherently face the cold-start problem, as…
Personalized recommendation is ubiquitous, playing an important role in many online services. Substantial research has been dedicated to learning vector representations of users and items with the goal of predicting a user's preference for…
Collaborative Filtering aims at exploiting the feedback of users to provide personalised recommendations. Such algorithms look for latent variables in a large sparse matrix of ratings. They can be enhanced by adding side information to…
Recommender systems learn from historical users' feedback that is often non-uniformly distributed across items. As a consequence, these systems may end up suggesting popular items more than niche items progressively, even when the latter…
With the prosperity of business intelligence, recommender systems have evolved into a new stage that we not only care about what to recommend, but why it is recommended. Explainability of recommendations thus emerges as a focal point of…
Item-to-item collaborative filtering (aka. item-based CF) has been long used for building recommender systems in industrial settings, owing to its interpretability and efficiency in real-time personalization. It builds a user's profile as…
Cross-Domain Recommendation (CDR) is an effective way to alleviate the cold-start problem. However, previous work severely ignores fairness and bias when learning the mapping function, which is used to obtain the representations for fresh…
Cold-start problem is a fundamental challenge for recommendation tasks. Despite the recent advances on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) incorporate the high-order collaborative signal to alleviate the problem, the embeddings of the cold-start…
Recommender systems play a vital role in modern online services, such as Amazon and Taobao. Traditional personalized methods, which focus on user-item (UI) relations, have been widely applied in industrial settings, owing to their…
Recommender systems can be formulated as a matrix completion problem, predicting ratings from user and item parameter vectors. Optimizing these parameters by subsampling data becomes difficult as the number of users and items grows. We…
Collaborative filtering is the most popular approach for recommender systems. One way to perform collaborative filtering is matrix factorization, which characterizes user preferences and item attributes using latent vectors. These latent…
Collaborative recommendation is an information-filtering technique that attempts to present information items (movies, music, books, news, images, Web pages, etc.) that are likely of interest to the Internet user. Traditionally,…
When a user connects to the Internet to fulfill his needs, he often encounters a huge amount of related information. Recommender systems are the techniques for massively filtering information and offering the items that users find them…
