Technical Report: Probabilistic Latent Relational Model for Integrating Heterogeneous Information for Recommendation

چکیده
Many recommender systems might be part of an e-commerce or multi functional system (or portal) where various information about users, products/documents, social networks, and different types of user feedback about products/documents are available. This paper exploits the heterogeneous information a recommender system might collect to make the most appropriate recommendations. We propose a new Probabilistic Latent Relational Modeling (PLRM) approach to jointly model user, product, social network, and different types of implicit and explicit user feedback. A system can make different types of recommendations, such as who you may want to trust or what product you may want to buy, based on a single probabilistic model. Different types of user feedback collected can be utilized to improve the performance of recommendations. We also propose a hybrid variational Bayesian and Max A Posteriori method to estimate the parameters from various types of user feedback. The experimental results on two Epinion.com data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modeling approach.

HINRec: Scalable Recommendation in Heterogeneous Information Networks
We develop HINRec, a new recommendation model which is capable of incorporating extra relational information present in heterogeneous information networks (HINs) to improve recommendation quality. HINRec models sparse node behaviors in HINs, scaling with the total number of edges of all relations which participate in inference. HINRec explicitly models correlations in node behavior between diff...
متن کاملContextual Recommendation based on Text Mining
The potential benefit of integrating contextual information for recommendation has received much research attention recently, especially with the ever-increasing interest in mobile-based recommendation services. However, context based recommendation research is limited due to the lack of standard evaluation data with contextual information and reliable technology for extracting such information...
متن کاملLearning Infinite Hidden Relational Models
Relational learning analyzes the probabilistic constraints between the attributes of entities and relationships. We extend the expressiveness of relational models by introducing for each entity (or object) an infinite-state latent variable as part of a Dirichlet process (DP) mixture model. It can be viewed as a relational generalization of hidden Markov random field. The information propagates ...

Relational learning analyzes the probabilistic constraints between the attributes of entities and relationships. We extend the expressiveness of relational models by introducing for each entity (or object) an infinitedimensional latent variable as part of a Dirichlet process (DP) mixture model. We discuss inference in the model, which is based on a DP Gibbs sampler, i.e., the Chinese restaurant...
متن کاملCoSoLoRec: Joint Factor Model with Content, Social, Location for Heterogeneous Point-of-Interest Recommendation
The pervasive use of Location-based-Social-Networks calls for more precise Point-of-Interest recommendation. The probability of a user’s visit to a target place is influenced by multiple factors. Though there are several fusion models in such fields, heterogeneous information are not considered comprehensively. To this end, we propose a novel probabilistic latent factor model by jointly conside...
