Collaborative Filtering Ensemble

چکیده
This paper provides the solution of the team “commendo” on the Track1 dataset of the KDD Cup 2011 Dror et al.. Yahoo Labs provides a snapshot of their music-rating database as dataset for the competition. We get approximately 260 million ratings from 1 million users on 600k items. Timestamp and taxonomy information are added to the ratings. The goal of the competition was to predict unknown ratings on a testset with RMSE as error measure. Our final submission is a blend of different collaborative filtering algorithms. The algorithms are trained consecutively and they are blended together with a neural network.

Improving Simple Collaborative Filtering Models Using Ensemble Methods
In this paper we examine the effect of applying ensemble learning to the performance of collaborative filtering methods. We present several systematic approaches for generating an ensemble of collaborative filtering models based on a single collaborative filtering algorithm (single-model or homogeneous ensemble). We present an adaptation of several popular ensemble techniques in machine learnin...

متن کاملCollaborative Ensemble Learning: Combining Collaborative and Content-Based Information Filtering via Hierarchical Bayes
Collaborative filtering (CF) and contentbased filtering (CBF) have widely been used in information filtering applications, both approaches having their individual strengths and weaknesses. This paper proposes a novel probabilistic framework to unify CF and CBF, named collaborative ensemble learning. Based on content based probabilistic models for each user’s preferences (the CBF idea), it combi...
متن کاملA New Similarity Measure Based on Item Proximity and Closeness for Collaborative Filtering Recommendation
Recommender systems utilize information retrieval and machine learning techniques for filtering information and can predict whether a user would like an unseen item. User similarity measurement plays an important role in collaborative filtering based recommender systems. In order to improve accuracy of traditional user based collaborative filtering techniques under new user cold-start problem a...
متن کاملCollaborative Filtering Applied to Educational Data Mining
We present our overall third ranking solution for the KDD Cup 2010 on educational data mining. The goal of the competition was to predict a student’s ability to answer questions correctly, based on historic results. In our approach we use an ensemble of collaborative filtering techniques, as used in the field of recommender systems and adopt them to fit the needs of the competition. The ensembl...
