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
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.

Transfer Meets Hybrid: A Synthetic Approach for Cross-Domain Collaborative Filtering with Text
Collaborative filtering (CF) is the key technique for recommender systems
(RSs). CF exploits user-item behavior interactions (e.g., clicks) only and
hence suffers from the data sparsity issue. One research thread is to integrate
auxiliary information such as product reviews and news titles, leading to
hybrid filtering methods. Another thread is to transfer knowledge from other
source domains such as improving the movie recommendation with the knowledge
from the book domain, leading to transfer learning methods. In real-world life,
no single service can satisfy a user's all information needs. Thus it motivates
us to exploit both auxiliary and source information for RSs in this paper. We
propose a novel neural model to smoothly enable Transfer Meeting Hybrid (TMH)
methods for cross-domain recommendation with unstructured text in an end-to-end
manner. TMH attentively extracts useful content from unstructured text via a
memory module and selectively transfers knowledge from a source domain via a
transfer network. On two real-world datasets, TMH shows better performance in
terms of three ranking metrics by comparing with various baselines. We conduct
thorough analyses to understand how the text content and transferred knowledge
help the proposed model.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, a full version for the WWW 2019 short pape
