Novel Models and Ensemble Techniques to Discriminate Favorite Items from Unrated Ones for Personalized Music Recommendation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The track 2 problem in KDD Cup 2011 (music recommendation) is to discriminate between music tracks highly rated by a given user from those which are overall highly rated, but not rated by the given user. The training dataset consists of not only user rating history but also the taxonomic information of track, artist, album, and genre. This paper describes the solution of the National Taiwan University team which ranked first place in the competition. We exploited a diverse of models (neighborhood models, latent models, BPR-based models, and random-walk models) with local blending and global ensemble to achieve 97.45% in accuracy on the testing dataset.

Feature Based Informative Model for Discriminating Favorite Items from Unrated Ones
In this paper, we describe a feature based informative model to the second track of this year’s KDD Cup Challenge. The goal is to discriminate songs rated highly by the user from ones never rated by him/her. The informative model is used to incorporate different kinds of information, such as taxonomy of items, item neighborhoods, user specific features and implicit feedback, into a single model...
متن کاملTaxonomy-Informed Latent Factor Models for Implicit Feedback
We describe an approach based on latent factor models to the Track 2 task of KDD Cup 2011, which required learning to discriminate between highly rated and unrated items from a large dataset of music ratings. We take the pairwise ranking route, training our models to rank the highly rated items above the unrated items which are sampled from the same distribution. Using the item relationship inf...

Item recommendation task predicts a personalized ranking over a set of items for individual user. One paradigm is the rating-based methods that concentrate on explicit feedbacks and hence face the difficulties in collecting them. Meanwhile, the ranking-based methods are presented with rated items and then rank the rated above the unrated. This paradigm uses widely available implicit feedback bu...
