Signed Distance-based Deep Memory Recommender
Personalized recommendation algorithms learn a user's preference for an item
by measuring a distance/similarity between them. However, some of the existing
recommendation models (e.g., matrix factorization) assume a linear relationship
between the user and item. This approach limits the capacity of recommender
systems, since the interactions between users and items in real-world
applications are much more complex than the linear relationship. To overcome
this limitation, in this paper, we design and propose a deep learning framework
called Signed Distance-based Deep Memory Recommender, which captures non-linear
relationships between users and items explicitly and implicitly, and work well
in both general recommendation task and shopping basket-based recommendation
task. Through an extensive empirical study on six real-world datasets in the
two recommendation tasks, our proposed approach achieved significant
improvement over ten state-of-the-art recommendation models
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.

Entity Personalized Talent Search Models with Tree Interaction Features
Talent Search systems aim to recommend potential candidates who are a good
match to the hiring needs of a recruiter expressed in terms of the recruiter's
search query or job posting. Past work in this domain has focused on linear and
nonlinear models which lack preference personalization in the user-level due to
being trained only with globally collected recruiter activity data. In this
paper, we propose an entity-personalized Talent Search model which utilizes a
combination of generalized linear mixed (GLMix) models and gradient boosted
decision tree (GBDT) models, and provides personalized talent recommendations
using nonlinear tree interaction features generated by the GBDT. We also
present the offline and online system architecture for the productionization of
this hybrid model approach in our Talent Search systems. Finally, we provide
offline and online experiment results benchmarking our entity-personalized
model with tree interaction features, which demonstrate significant
improvements in our precision metrics compared to globally trained
non-personalized models.Comment: This paper has been accepted for publication at ACM WWW 201
Neural Collaborative Ranking
Recommender systems are aimed at generating a personalized ranked list of
items that an end user might be interested in. With the unprecedented success
of deep learning in computer vision and speech recognition, recently it has
been a hot topic to bridge the gap between recommender systems and deep neural
network. And deep learning methods have been shown to achieve state-of-the-art
on many recommendation tasks. For example, a recent model, NeuMF, first
projects users and items into some shared low-dimensional latent feature space,
and then employs neural nets to model the interaction between the user and item
latent features to obtain state-of-the-art performance on the recommendation
tasks. NeuMF assumes that the non-interacted items are inherent negative and
uses negative sampling to relax this assumption. In this paper, we examine an
alternative approach which does not assume that the non-interacted items are
necessarily negative, just that they are less preferred than interacted items.
Specifically, we develop a new classification strategy based on the widely used
pairwise ranking assumption. We combine our classification strategy with the
recently proposed neural collaborative filtering framework, and propose a
general collaborative ranking framework called Neural Network based
Collaborative Ranking (NCR). We resort to a neural network architecture to
model a user's pairwise preference between items, with the belief that neural
network will effectively capture the latent structure of latent factors. The
experimental results on two real-world datasets show the superior performance
of our models in comparison with several state-of-the-art approaches.Comment: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM on Conference on Information and
