Regularizing Matrix Factorization with User and Item Embeddings for Recommendation
Following recent successes in exploiting both latent factor and word
embedding models in recommendation, we propose a novel Regularized
Multi-Embedding (RME) based recommendation model that simultaneously
encapsulates the following ideas via decomposition: (1) which items a user
likes, (2) which two users co-like the same items, (3) which two items users
often co-liked, and (4) which two items users often co-disliked. In
experimental validation, the RME outperforms competing state-of-the-art models
in both explicit and implicit feedback datasets, significantly improving
Recall@5 by 5.9~7.0%, NDCG@20 by 4.3~5.6%, and MAP@10 by 7.9~8.9%. In addition,
under the cold-start scenario for users with the lowest number of interactions,
against the competing models, the RME outperforms NDCG@5 by 20.2% and 29.4% in
MovieLens-10M and MovieLens-20M datasets, respectively. Our datasets and source

Collaborative filtering and deep learning based recommendation system for cold start items
Recommender system is a specific type of intelligent systems, which exploits historical user ratings on items and/or auxiliary information to make recommendations on items to the users. It plays a critical role in a wide range of online shopping, e-commercial services and social networking applications. Collaborative filtering (CF) is the most popular approaches used for recommender systems, but it suffers from complete cold start (CCS) problem where no rating record are available and incomplete cold start (ICS) problem where only a small number of rating records are available for some new items or users in the system. In this paper, we propose two recommendation models to solve the CCS and ICS problems for new items, which are based on a framework of tightly coupled CF approach and deep learning neural network. A specific deep neural network SADE is used to extract the content features of the items. The state of the art CF model, timeSVD++, which models and utilizes temporal dynamics of user preferences and item features, is modified to take the content features into prediction of ratings for cold start items. Extensive experiments on a large Netflix rating dataset of movies are performed, which show that our proposed recommendation models largely outperform the baseline models for rating prediction of cold start items. The two proposed recommendation models are also evaluated and compared on ICS items, and a flexible scheme of model retraining and switching is proposed to deal with the transition of items from cold start to non-cold start status. The experiment results on Netflix movie recommendation show the tight coupling of CF approach and deep learning neural network is feasible and very effective for cold start item recommendation. The design is general and can be applied to many other recommender systems for online shopping and social networking applications. The solution of cold start item problem can largely improve user experience and trust of recommender systems, and effectively promote cold start items
Collaborative filtering and deep learning based hybrid recommendation for cold start problem
Recommender systems (RS) are used by many social networking applications and online e-commercial services. Collaborative filtering (CF) is one of the most popular approaches used for RS. However traditional CF approach suffers from sparsity and cold start problems. In this paper, we propose a hybrid recommendation model to address the cold start problem, which explores the item content features learned from a deep learning neural network and applies them to the timeSVD++ CF model. Extensive experiments are run on a large Netflix rating dataset for movies. Experiment results show that the proposed hybrid recommendation model provides a good prediction for cold start items, and performs better than four existing recommendation models for rating of non-cold start items
PERSONALIZED POINT OF INTEREST RECOMMENDATIONS WITH PRIVACY-PRESERVING TECHNIQUES
Location-based services (LBS) have become increasingly popular, with millions of people using mobile devices to access information about nearby points of interest (POIs). Personalized POI recommender systems have been developed to assist users in discovering and navigating these POIs. However, these systems typically require large amounts of user data, including location history and preferences, to provide personalized recommendations.
The collection and use of such data can pose significant privacy concerns. This dissertation proposes a privacy-preserving approach to POI recommendations that address these privacy concerns. The proposed approach uses clustering, tabular generative adversarial networks, and differential privacy to generate synthetic user data, allowing for personalized recommendations without revealing individual user data. Specifically, the approach clusters users based on their fuzzy locations, generates synthetic user data using a tabular generative adversarial network and perturbs user data with differential privacy before it is used for recommendation.
The proposed approaches achieve well-balanced trade-offs between accuracy and privacy preservation and can be applied to different recommender systems. The approach is evaluated through extensive experiments on real-world POI datasets, demonstrating that it is effective in providing personalized recommendations while preserving user privacy. The results show that the proposed approach achieves comparable accuracy to traditional POI recommender systems that do not consider privacy while providing significant privacy guarantees for users.
The research\u27s contribution is twofold: it compares different methods for synthesizing user data specifically for POI recommender systems and offers a general privacy-preserving framework for different recommender systems. The proposed approach provides a novel solution to the privacy concerns of POI recommender systems, contributes to the development of more trustworthy and user-friendly LBS applications, and can enhance the trust of users in these systems
RECOMED: A Comprehensive Pharmaceutical Recommendation System
A comprehensive pharmaceutical recommendation system was designed based on
the patients and drugs features extracted from Drugs.com and Druglib.com.
First, data from these databases were combined, and a dataset of patients and
drug information was built. Secondly, the patients and drugs were clustered,
and then the recommendation was performed using different ratings provided by
patients, and importantly by the knowledge obtained from patients and drug
specifications, and considering drug interactions. To the best of our
knowledge, we are the first group to consider patients conditions and history
in the proposed approach for selecting a specific medicine appropriate for that
particular user. Our approach applies artificial intelligence (AI) models for
the implementation. Sentiment analysis using natural language processing
approaches is employed in pre-processing along with neural network-based
methods and recommender system algorithms for modeling the system. In our work,
patients conditions and drugs features are used for making two models based on
matrix factorization. Then we used drug interaction to filter drugs with severe
or mild interactions with other drugs. We developed a deep learning model for
recommending drugs by using data from 2304 patients as a training set, and then
we used data from 660 patients as our validation set. After that, we used
knowledge from critical information about drugs and combined the outcome of the
model into a knowledge-based system with the rules obtained from constraints on
taking medicine.Comment: 39 pages, 14 figures, 13 table
