User preference and embedding learning with implicit feedback for recommender systems

Implicit Feedback for Recommender Systems

Can implicit feedback substitute for explicit ratings in recommender systems? If so, we could avoid the difficulties associated with gathering explicit ratings from users. How, then, can we capture useful information unobtrusively, and how might we use that information to make recommendations? In this paper we identify three types of implicit feedback and suggest two strategies for using implic...

Various aspects of user preference learning and recommender systems

In this paper, we describe area of recommender systems, with focus on user preference learning problem. We describe such system and identify some interesting problems. We will compare how well different approaches cope with some of the problems. This paper may serve as an introduction to the area of user preference learning with a hint on some interesting problems that have not been solved yet.

Multimodal Implicit Feedback for Recommender Systems

In this paper, we present an overview of our work towards utilization of multimodal implicit feedback in recommender systems for small e-commerce enterprises. We focus on deeper understanding of implicit user feedback as a rich source of heterogeneous information. We present a model of implicit feedback for e-commerce, discuss important contextual features affecting its values and describe ways...
