Matrix Factorization for Collaborative Prediction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Netflix, an online video rental company, recently announced a contest to spur interest in building better recommendation systems. Users of Netflix are able to rank movies on an integer scale from 1 to 5. A rating of 1 indicates that the user “hated it”, while 5 indicates they “loved it”. The objective of a recommendation system, or collaborative filter, is to provide users with new recommendations based on past ratings they have made. There are several methods for approaching this problem, many of which have been extensivley documented such as k-nearest neighbors and mixture of multinomials. We are particularly interested in exploring different matrix factorization techniques, namely

Stability of matrix factorization for collaborative filtering
We study the stability vis a vis adversarial noise of matrix factorization algorithm for matrix completion. In particular, our results include: (I) we bound the gap between the solution matrix of the factorization method and the ground truth in terms of root mean square error; (II) we treat the matrix factorization as a subspace fitting problem and analyze the difference between the solution su...
متن کاملKernelized Matrix Factorization for Collaborative Filtering
Matrix factorization (MF) methods have shown great promise in collaborative filtering (CF). Conventional MF methods usually assume that the correlated data is distributed on a linear hyperplane, which is not always the case. Kernel methods are used widely in SVMs to classify linearly non-separable data, as well as in PCA to discover the non-linear embeddings of data. In this paper, we present a...
متن کاملCOFI RANK - Maximum Margin Matrix Factorization for Collaborative Ranking
In this paper, we consider collaborative filtering as a ranking problem. We present a method which uses Maximum Margin Matrix Factorization and optimizes ranking instead of rating. We employ structured output prediction to optimize for specific non-uniform ranking scores. Experimental results show that our method gives very good ranking scores and scales well on collaborative filtering tasks.

متن کاملGeneral Functional Matrix Factorization Using Gradient Boosting
Matrix factorization is among the most successful techniques for collaborative filtering. One challenge of collaborative filtering is how to utilize available auxiliary information to improve prediction accuracy. In this paper, we study the problem of utilizing auxiliary information as features of factorization and propose formalizing the problem as general functional matrix factorization, whos...
متن کاملQuantile Matrix Factorization for Collaborative Filtering
Matrix Factorization-based algorithms are among the state-of-the-art in Collaborative Filtering methods. In many of these models, a least squares loss functional is implicitly or explicitly minimized and thus the resulting estimates correspond to the conditional mean of the potential rating a user might give to an item. However they do not provide any information on the uncertainty and the conf...
