چکیده

Tag recommender systems are often used in social tagging systems, a popular family of Web 2.0 applications, to assist users in the tagging process. But in cold-start situations i.e., when new users or resources enter the system, state-ofthe-art tag recommender systems perform poorly and are not always able to generate recommendations. Many user profiles contain untagged resources, which could provide valuable information especially for cold-start scenarios where tagged data is scarce. The existing methods do not explore this additional information source. In this paper we propose to use a purely graph-based semi-supervised relational approach that uses untagged posts for addressing the cold-start problem. We conduct experiments on two real-life datasets and show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art in many cases.

Finding the Hidden Gems: Recommending Untagged Music

We have developed a novel hybrid representation for Music Information Retrieval. Our representation is built by incorporating audio content into the tag space in a tag-track matrix, and then learning hybrid concepts using latent semantic analysis. We apply this representation to the task of music recommendation, using similarity-based retrieval from a query music track. We also develop a new ap...

“Like Attracts Like!”– A Social Recommendation Framework Through Label Propagation

Recently label propagation recommendation receives much attention from both industrial and academic fields due to its low requirement of labeled training data and effective prediction. Previous methods propagate preferences on a user or item similarity graph for making recommendation. However, they still suffer some major problems, including data sparsity, lack of trustworthiness, cold-start pr...

Autotagging Music Using Supervised Machine Learning

Social tags are an important component of “Web2.0” music recommendation websites. In this paper we propose a method for predicting social tags using audio features and supervised learning. These automatically-generated tags (or “autotags”) can furnish information about music that is untagged or poorly tagged. The tags can also serve to smooth the tag space from which similarities and recommenda...

Semi-supervised Collaborative Ranking with Push at Top

Existing collaborative ranking based recommender systems tend to perform best when there is enough observed ratings for each user and the observation is made completely at random. Under this setting recommender systems can properly suggest a list of recommendations according to the user interests. However, when the observed ratings are extremely sparse (e.g. in the case of cold-start users wher...

TagMiner: A Semisupervised Associative POS Tagger Effective for Resource Poor Languages

We present here, TagMiner, a data mining approach for part-of-speech (POS) tagging, an important Natural language processing (NLP) classification task. It is a semi-supervised associative classification method for POS tagging. Existing methods for building POS taggers require extensive domain and linguistic knowledge and resources. Our method uses combination of a small POS tagged corpus and a ...
