Are Features Equally Representative? A Feature-Centric Recommendation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Typically a user prefers an item (e.g., a movie) because she likes certain features of the item (e.g., director, genre, producer). This observation motivates us to consider a featurecentric recommendation approach to item recommendation: instead of directly predicting the rating on items, we predict the rating on the features of items, and use such ratings to derive the rating on an item. This approach offers several advantages over the traditional item-centric approach: it incorporates more information about why a user chooses an item, it generalizes better due to the denser feature rating data, it explains the prediction of item ratings through the predicted feature ratings. Another contribution is turning a principled item-centric solution into a feature-centric solution, instead of inventing a new algorithm that is feature-centric. This approach maximally leverages previous research. We demonstrate this approach by turning the traditional item-centric latent factor model into a feature-centric solution and demonstrate its superiority over item-centric approaches.

متن کاملA Feature Subset Selection Algorithm Automatic Recommendation Method
Many feature subset selection (FSS) algorithms have been proposed, but not all of them are appropriate for a given feature selection problem. At the same time, so far there is rarely a good way to choose appropriate FSS algorithms for the problem at hand. Thus, FSS algorithm automatic recommendation is very important and practically useful. In this paper, a meta learning based FSS algorithm aut...

Feature Selection (FS) is an important pre-processing step in machine learning and data mining. All the traditional feature selection methods assume that the entire feature space is available from the beginning. However, online streaming features (OSF) are an integral part of many real-world applications. In OSF, the number of training examples is fixed while the number of features grows with t...

In pattern recognition, features are denoting some measurable characteristics of an observed phenomenon and feature extraction is the procedure of measuring these characteristics. A set of features can be expressed by a feature vector which is used as the input data of a system. An efficient feature extraction method can improve the performance of a machine learning system such as face recognit...

Current research on recommendation systems focuses on optimization and evaluation of the quality of ranked recommended results. One of the most common approaches used in digital paper libraries to present and recommend relevant search results, is ranking the papers based on their features. However, feature utility or relevance varies greatly from highly relevant to less relevant, and redundant....
