A deep learning-based hybrid model for recommendation generation and ranking
A recommender system plays a vital role in information filtering and retrieval, and its application is omnipresent in many domains. There are some drawbacks such as the cold-start and the data sparsity problems which affect the performance of the recommender model. Various studies help with drastically improving the performance of recommender systems via unique methods, such as the traditional way of performing matrix factorization (MF) and also applying deep learning (DL) techniques in recent years. By using DL in the recommender system, we can overcome the difficulties of collaborative filtering. DL now focuses mainly on modeling content descriptions, but those models ignore the main factor of user–item interaction. In the proposed hybrid Bayesian stacked auto-denoising encoder (HBSADE) model, it recognizes the latent interests of the user and analyzes contextual reviews that are performed through the MF method. The objective of the model is to identify the user’s point of interest, recommending products/services based on the user’s latent interests. The proposed two-stage novel hybrid deep learning-based collaborative filtering method explores the user’s point of interest, captures the communications between items and users and provides better recommendations in a personalized way. We used a multilayer neural network to manipulate the nonlinearities between the user and item communication from data. Experiments were to prove that our HBSADE outperforms existing methodologies over Amazon-b and Book-Crossing datasets
Deep Learning based Recommender System: A Survey and New Perspectives
With the ever-growing volume of online information, recommender systems have
been an effective strategy to overcome such information overload. The utility
of recommender systems cannot be overstated, given its widespread adoption in
many web applications, along with its potential impact to ameliorate many
problems related to over-choice. In recent years, deep learning has garnered
considerable interest in many research fields such as computer vision and
natural language processing, owing not only to stellar performance but also the
attractive property of learning feature representations from scratch. The
influence of deep learning is also pervasive, recently demonstrating its
effectiveness when applied to information retrieval and recommender systems
research. Evidently, the field of deep learning in recommender system is
flourishing. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of recent
research efforts on deep learning based recommender systems. More concretely,
we provide and devise a taxonomy of deep learning based recommendation models,
along with providing a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art. Finally,
we expand on current trends and provide new perspectives pertaining to this new
exciting development of the field.Comment: The paper has been accepted by ACM Computing Surveys.

Discovering the Impact of Knowledge in Recommender Systems: A Comparative Study
Recommender systems engage user profiles and appropriate filtering techniques
to assist users in finding more relevant information over the large volume of
information. User profiles play an important role in the success of
recommendation process since they model and represent the actual user needs.
However, a comprehensive literature review of recommender systems has
demonstrated no concrete study on the role and impact of knowledge in user
profiling and filtering approache. In this paper, we review the most prominent
recommender systems in the literature and examine the impression of knowledge
extracted from different sources. We then come up with this finding that
semantic information from the user context has substantial impact on the
performance of knowledge based recommender systems. Finally, some new clues for
improvement the knowledge-based profiles have been proposed.Comment: 14 pages, 3 tables; International Journal of Computer Science &

Personalized Video Recommendation Using Rich Contents from Videos
Video recommendation has become an essential way of helping people explore
the massive videos and discover the ones that may be of interest to them. In
the existing video recommender systems, the models make the recommendations
based on the user-video interactions and single specific content features. When
the specific content features are unavailable, the performance of the existing
models will seriously deteriorate. Inspired by the fact that rich contents
(e.g., text, audio, motion, and so on) exist in videos, in this paper, we
explore how to use these rich contents to overcome the limitations caused by
the unavailability of the specific ones. Specifically, we propose a novel
general framework that incorporates arbitrary single content feature with
user-video interactions, named as collaborative embedding regression (CER)
model, to make effective video recommendation in both in-matrix and
out-of-matrix scenarios. Our extensive experiments on two real-world
large-scale datasets show that CER beats the existing recommender models with
any single content feature and is more time efficient. In addition, we propose
a priority-based late fusion (PRI) method to gain the benefit brought by the
integrating the multiple content features. The corresponding experiment shows
that PRI brings real performance improvement to the baseline and outperforms
the existing fusion methods
A probabilistic model to resolve diversity-accuracy challenge of recommendation systems
Recommendation systems have wide-spread applications in both academia and
industry. Traditionally, performance of recommendation systems has been
measured by their precision. By introducing novelty and diversity as key
qualities in recommender systems, recently increasing attention has been
focused on this topic. Precision and novelty of recommendation are not in the
same direction, and practical systems should make a trade-off between these two
quantities. Thus, it is an important feature of a recommender system to make it
possible to adjust diversity and accuracy of the recommendations by tuning the
model. In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic structure to resolve the
diversity-accuracy dilemma in recommender systems. We propose a hybrid model
with adjustable level of diversity and precision such that one can perform this
by tuning a single parameter. The proposed recommendation model consists of two
models: one for maximization of the accuracy and the other one for
specification of the recommendation list to tastes of users. Our experiments on
two real datasets show the functionality of the model in resolving
accuracy-diversity dilemma and outperformance of the model over other classic
models. The proposed method could be extensively applied to real commercial
systems due to its low computational complexity and significant performance.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figure
Factors Influencing the Quality of the User Experience in Ubiquitous Recommender Systems
The use of mobile devices and the rapid growth of the internet and networking
infrastructure has brought the necessity of using Ubiquitous recommender
systems. However in mobile devices there are different factors that need to be
considered in order to get more useful recommendations and increase the quality
of the user experience. This paper gives an overview of the factors related to
the quality and proposes a new hybrid recommendation model.Comment: The final publication is available at www.springerlink.com
