Hierarchical Latent Factors for Preference Data

چکیده
In this work we propose a probabilistic hierarchical generative approach for users’ preference data, which is designed to overcome the limitation of current methodologies in Recommender Systems and thus to meet both prediction and recommendation accuracy. The Bayesian Hierarchical User Community Model (BH-UCM) focuses both on modeling the popularity of items and the distribution over item ratings. An extensive evaluation over two popular benchmark datasets shows that the combined modeling of item popularity and rating provides a powerful framework both for rating prediction and for the generation of accurate recommendation lists.

The Analysis of Bayesian Probit Regression of Binary and Polychotomous Response Data
The goal of this study is to introduce a statistical method regarding the analysis of specific latent data for regression analysis of the discrete data and to build a relation between a probit regression model (related to the discrete response) and normal linear regression model (related to the latent data of continuous response). This method provides precise inferences on binary and multinomia...
متن کاملBalancing Prediction and Recommendation Accuracy: Hierarchical Latent Factors for Preference Data
Recent works in Recommender Systems (RS) have investigated the relationships between the prediction accuracy, i.e. the ability of a RS to minimize a cost function (for instance the RMSE measure) in estimating users’ preferences, and the accuracy of the recommendation list provided to users. State-of-the-art recommendation algorithms, which focus on the minimization of RMSE, have shown to achiev...

متن کاملCaching Policy for Cache-enabled D2D Communications by Learning User Preference
Prior works in designing caching policy do not distinguish content popularity with user preference. In this paper, we optimize caching policy for cache-enabled device-to-device (D2D) communications by exploiting individual user behavior in sending requests for contents. We first show the connection between content popularity and user preference. We then optimize the caching policy with the know...
