Science Concierge: A fast content-based recommendation system for scientific publications
Finding relevant publications is important for scientists who have to cope
with exponentially increasing numbers of scholarly material. Algorithms can
help with this task as they help for music, movie, and product recommendations.
However, we know little about the performance of these algorithms with
scholarly material. Here, we develop an algorithm, and an accompanying Python
library, that implements a recommendation system based on the content of
articles. Design principles are to adapt to new content, provide near-real time
suggestions, and be open source. We tested the library on 15K posters from the
Society of Neuroscience Conference 2015. Human curated topics are used to cross
validate parameters in the algorithm and produce a similarity metric that
maximally correlates with human judgments. We show that our algorithm
significantly outperformed suggestions based on keywords. The work presented
here promises to make the exploration of scholarly material faster and more
accurate.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
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.

Multi-modal Embedding Fusion-based Recommender
Recommendation systems have lately been popularized globally, with primary
use cases in online interaction systems, with significant focus on e-commerce
platforms. We have developed a machine learning-based recommendation platform,
which can be easily applied to almost any items and/or actions domain. Contrary
to existing recommendation systems, our platform supports multiple types of
interaction data with multiple modalities of metadata natively. This is
achieved through multi-modal fusion of various data representations. We
deployed the platform into multiple e-commerce stores of different kinds, e.g.
food and beverages, shoes, fashion items, telecom operators. Here, we present
our system, its flexibility and performance. We also show benchmark results on
open datasets, that significantly outperform state-of-the-art prior work.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figure
Content-Based Book Recommending Using Learning for Text Categorization
Recommender systems improve access to relevant products and information by
making personalized suggestions based on previous examples of a user's likes
and dislikes. Most existing recommender systems use social filtering methods
that base recommendations on other users' preferences. By contrast,
content-based methods use information about an item itself to make suggestions.
This approach has the advantage of being able to recommended previously unrated
items to users with unique interests and to provide explanations for its
recommendations. We describe a content-based book recommending system that
utilizes information extraction and a machine-learning algorithm for text
categorization. Initial experimental results demonstrate that this approach can
produce accurate recommendations.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, Submission to Fourth ACM Conference on Digital
