Hybrid Collaborative Filtering with Autoencoders
Collaborative Filtering aims at exploiting the feedback of users to provide
personalised recommendations. Such algorithms look for latent variables in a
large sparse matrix of ratings. They can be enhanced by adding side information
to tackle the well-known cold start problem. While Neu-ral Networks have
tremendous success in image and speech recognition, they have received less
attention in Collaborative Filtering. This is all the more surprising that
Neural Networks are able to discover latent variables in large and
heterogeneous datasets. In this paper, we introduce a Collaborative Filtering
Neural network architecture aka CFN which computes a non-linear Matrix
Factorization from sparse rating inputs and side information. We show
experimentally on the MovieLens and Douban dataset that CFN outper-forms the
state of the art and benefits from side information. We provide an
implementation of the algorithm as a reusable plugin for Torch, a popular
Neural Network framework
Completing Low-Rank Matrices with Corrupted Samples from Few Coefficients in General Basis
Subspace recovery from corrupted and missing data is crucial for various
applications in signal processing and information theory. To complete missing
values and detect column corruptions, existing robust Matrix Completion (MC)
methods mostly concentrate on recovering a low-rank matrix from few corrupted
coefficients w.r.t. standard basis, which, however, does not apply to more
general basis, e.g., Fourier basis. In this paper, we prove that the range
space of an matrix with rank can be exactly recovered from few
coefficients w.r.t. general basis, though and the number of corrupted
samples are both as high as . Our model covers
previous ones as special cases, and robust MC can recover the intrinsic matrix
with a higher rank. Moreover, we suggest a universal choice of the
regularization parameter, which is . By our
filtering algorithm, which has theoretical guarantees, we can
further reduce the computational cost of our model. As an application, we also
find that the solutions to extended robust Low-Rank Representation and to our
extended robust MC are mutually expressible, so both our theory and algorithm
can be applied to the subspace clustering problem with missing values under
certain conditions. Experiments verify our theories.Comment: To appear in IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
