Hierarchical Attention Network for Visually-aware Food Recommendation
Food recommender systems play an important role in assisting users to
identify the desired food to eat. Deciding what food to eat is a complex and
multi-faceted process, which is influenced by many factors such as the
ingredients, appearance of the recipe, the user's personal preference on food,
and various contexts like what had been eaten in the past meals. In this work,
we formulate the food recommendation problem as predicting user preference on
recipes based on three key factors that determine a user's choice on food,
namely, 1) the user's (and other users') history; 2) the ingredients of a
recipe; and 3) the descriptive image of a recipe. To address this challenging
problem, we develop a dedicated neural network based solution Hierarchical
Attention based Food Recommendation (HAFR) which is capable of: 1) capturing
the collaborative filtering effect like what similar users tend to eat; 2)
inferring a user's preference at the ingredient level; and 3) learning user
preference from the recipe's visual images. To evaluate our proposed method, we
construct a large-scale dataset consisting of millions of ratings from
AllRecipes.com. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms several
competing recommender solutions like Factorization Machine and Visual Bayesian
Personalized Ranking with an average improvement of 12%, offering promising
results in predicting user preference for food. Codes and dataset will be
released upon acceptance
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.

A Broad Learning Approach for Context-Aware Mobile Application Recommendation
With the rapid development of mobile apps, the availability of a large number
of mobile apps in application stores brings challenge to locate appropriate
apps for users. Providing accurate mobile app recommendation for users becomes
an imperative task. Conventional approaches mainly focus on learning users'
preferences and app features to predict the user-app ratings. However, most of
them did not consider the interactions among the context information of apps.
To address this issue, we propose a broad learning approach for
\textbf{C}ontext-\textbf{A}ware app recommendation with \textbf{T}ensor
\textbf{A}nalysis (CATA). Specifically, we utilize a tensor-based framework to
effectively integrate user's preference, app category information and
multi-view features to facilitate the performance of app rating prediction. The
multidimensional structure is employed to capture the hidden relationships
between multiple app categories with multi-view features. We develop an
efficient factorization method which applies Tucker decomposition to learn the
full-order interactions within multiple categories and features. Furthermore,
we employ a group norm regularization to learn the group-wise
feature importance of each view with respect to each app category. Experiments
on two real-world mobile app datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the
proposed method
