Role of Matrix Factorization Model in Collaborative Filtering Algorithm: A Survey
Recommendation Systems apply Information Retrieval techniques to select the
online information relevant to a given user. Collaborative Filtering is
currently most widely used approach to build Recommendation System. CF
techniques uses the user behavior in form of user item ratings as their
information source for prediction. There are major challenges like sparsity of
rating matrix and growing nature of data which is faced by CF algorithms. These
challenges are been well taken care by Matrix Factorization. In this paper we
attempt to present an overview on the role of different MF model to address the
challenges of CF algorithms, which can be served as a roadmap for research in
this area.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure in IJAFRC, Vol.1, Issue 12, December 201
Is Simple Better? Revisiting Non-linear Matrix Factorization for Learning Incomplete Ratings
Matrix factorization techniques have been widely used as a method for
collaborative filtering for recommender systems. In recent times, different
variants of deep learning algorithms have been explored in this setting to
improve the task of making a personalized recommendation with user-item
interaction data. The idea that the mapping between the latent user or item
factors and the original features is highly nonlinear suggest that classical
matrix factorization techniques are no longer sufficient. In this paper, we
propose a multilayer nonlinear semi-nonnegative matrix factorization method,
with the motivation that user-item interactions can be modeled more accurately
using a linear combination of non-linear item features. Firstly, we learn
latent factors for representations of users and items from the designed
multilayer nonlinear Semi-NMF approach using explicit ratings. Secondly, the
architecture built is compared with deep-learning algorithms like Restricted
Boltzmann Machine and state-of-the-art Deep Matrix factorization techniques. By
using both supervised rate prediction task and unsupervised clustering in
latent item space, we demonstrate that our proposed approach achieves better
generalization ability in prediction as well as comparable representation
ability as deep matrix factorization in the clustering task.Comment: version
