Tag-Aware Recommender Systems: A State-of-the-art Survey
In the past decade, Social Tagging Systems have attracted increasing
attention from both physical and computer science communities. Besides the
underlying structure and dynamics of tagging systems, many efforts have been
addressed to unify tagging information to reveal user behaviors and
preferences, extract the latent semantic relations among items, make
recommendations, and so on. Specifically, this article summarizes recent
progress about tag-aware recommender systems, emphasizing on the contributions
from three mainstream perspectives and approaches: network-based methods,
tensor-based methods, and the topic-based methods. Finally, we outline some
other tag-related works and future challenges of tag-aware recommendation
algorithms.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figure
Collaborative filtering with diffusion-based similarity on tripartite graphs
Collaborative tags are playing more and more important role for the
organization of information systems. In this paper, we study a personalized
recommendation model making use of the ternary relations among users, objects
and tags. We propose a measure of user similarity based on his preference and
tagging information. Two kinds of similarities between users are calculated by
using a diffusion-based process, which are then integrated for recommendation.
We test the proposed method in a standard collaborative filtering framework
with three metrics: ranking score, Recall and Precision, and demonstrate that
it performs better than the commonly used cosine similarity.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Recommender Systems
The ongoing rapid expansion of the Internet greatly increases the necessity
of effective recommender systems for filtering the abundant information.
Extensive research for recommender systems is conducted by a broad range of
communities including social and computer scientists, physicists, and
interdisciplinary researchers. Despite substantial theoretical and practical
achievements, unification and comparison of different approaches are lacking,
which impedes further advances. In this article, we review recent developments
in recommender systems and discuss the major challenges. We compare and
evaluate available algorithms and examine their roles in the future
developments. In addition to algorithms, physical aspects are described to
illustrate macroscopic behavior of recommender systems. Potential impacts and
future directions are discussed. We emphasize that recommendation has a great
scientific depth and combines diverse research fields which makes it of
interests for physicists as well as interdisciplinary researchers.Comment: 97 pages, 20 figures (To appear in Physics Reports
