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.

Learning from Multi-View Multi-Way Data via Structural Factorization Machines
Real-world relations among entities can often be observed and determined by
different perspectives/views. For example, the decision made by a user on
whether to adopt an item relies on multiple aspects such as the contextual
information of the decision, the item's attributes, the user's profile and the
reviews given by other users. Different views may exhibit multi-way
interactions among entities and provide complementary information. In this
paper, we introduce a multi-tensor-based approach that can preserve the
underlying structure of multi-view data in a generic predictive model.
Specifically, we propose structural factorization machines (SFMs) that learn
the common latent spaces shared by multi-view tensors and automatically adjust
the importance of each view in the predictive model. Furthermore, the
complexity of SFMs is linear in the number of parameters, which make SFMs
suitable to large-scale problems. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets
demonstrate that the proposed SFMs outperform several state-of-the-art methods
in terms of prediction accuracy and computational cost.Comment: 10 page
Matrix Completion on Graphs
The problem of finding the missing values of a matrix given a few of its
entries, called matrix completion, has gathered a lot of attention in the
recent years. Although the problem under the standard low rank assumption is
NP-hard, Cand\`es and Recht showed that it can be exactly relaxed if the number
of observed entries is sufficiently large. In this work, we introduce a novel
matrix completion model that makes use of proximity information about rows and
columns by assuming they form communities. This assumption makes sense in
several real-world problems like in recommender systems, where there are
communities of people sharing preferences, while products form clusters that
receive similar ratings. Our main goal is thus to find a low-rank solution that
is structured by the proximities of rows and columns encoded by graphs. We
borrow ideas from manifold learning to constrain our solution to be smooth on
these graphs, in order to implicitly force row and column proximities. Our
matrix recovery model is formulated as a convex non-smooth optimization
problem, for which a well-posed iterative scheme is provided. We study and
evaluate the proposed matrix completion on synthetic and real data, showing
that the proposed structured low-rank recovery model outperforms the standard
matrix completion model in many situations.Comment: Version of NIPS 2014 workshop "Out of the Box: Robustness in High
