To leverage user behavior data from the Internet more effectively in recommender systems, this paper proposes a novel collaborative filtering (CF) method called Local Collaborative Filtering (LCF). LCF utilizes local similarities among…
Using only implicit data, many recommender systems fail in general to provide a precise set of recommendations to users with limited interaction history. This issue is regarded as the "Cold Start" problem and is typically resolved by…
In this study, we present a novel clustering-based collaborative filtering (CF) method for recommender systems. Clustering-based CF methods can effectively deal with data sparsity and scalability problems. However, most of them are applied…
One of the most efficient methods in collaborative filtering is matrix factorization, which finds the latent vector representations of users and items based on the ratings of users to items. However, a matrix factorization based algorithm…
The item cold-start problem poses a fundamental challenge for music recommendation: newly added tracks lack the interaction history that collaborative filtering (CF) requires. Existing approaches often address this problem by learning…
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…
Collaborative filtering is an effective recommendation approach in which the preference of a user on an item is predicted based on the preferences of other users with similar interests. A big challenge in using collaborative filtering…
We present an item-based approach for collaborative filtering. We determine a list of recommended items for a user by considering their previous purchases. Additionally other features of the users could be considered such as page views,…
Traditional recommender systems leverage users' item preference history to recommend novel content that users may like. However, modern dialog interfaces that allow users to express language-based preferences offer a fundamentally different…
Collaborative filtering (CF) is a powerful recommender system that generates a list of recommended items for an active user based on the ratings of similar users. This paper presents a novel approach to CF by first finding the set of users…
We consider the online one-class collaborative filtering (CF) problem that consists of recommending items to users over time in an online fashion based on positive ratings only. This problem arises when users respond only occasionally to a…
In this paper, we present a theoretical framework for tackling the cold-start collaborative filtering problem, where unknown targets (items or users) keep coming to the system, and there is a limited number of resources (users or items)…
Hybrid recommendation usually combines collaborative filtering with content-based filtering to exploit merits of both techniques. It is widely accepted that hybrid filtering outperforms the single algorithm, thus it has been the new trend…
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…
Recommendation systems get expanding significance because of their applications in both the scholarly community and industry. With the development of additional data sources and methods of extracting new information other than the rating…
Generative models have shown great promise in collaborative filtering by capturing the underlying distribution of user interests and preferences. However, existing approaches struggle with inaccurate posterior approximations and…
This work explores the ability of collective matrix factorization models in recommender systems to make predictions about users and items for which there is side information available but no feedback or interactions data, and proposes a new…
Collaborative filtering algorithms haven been widely used in recommender systems. However, they often suffer from the data sparsity and cold start problems. With the increasing popularity of social media, these problems may be solved by…
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…
Graph Neural Network (GNN)-based models have become the mainstream approach for recommender systems. Despite the effectiveness, they are still suffering from the cold-start problem, i.e., recommend for few-interaction items. Existing…
