Cross-Domain Mediation in Collaborative Filtering
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the main problems of collaborative filtering recommenders is the sparsity of the ratings in the users-items matrix, and its negative effect on the prediction accuracy. This paper addresses this issue applying cross-domain mediation of collaborative user models, i.e., importing and aggregating vectors of users' ratings stored by collaborative systems operating in different application domains. The paper presents several mediation approaches and initial experimental evaluation demonstrating that the mediation can improve the accuracy of the generated predictions.

Auxiliary Domain Selection in Cross-Domain Collaborative Filtering
The problem of data sparsity largely limits the accuracy of recommender systems in collaborative filtering model. To alleviate the problem, cross-domain collaborative filtering was proposed by harnessing the information from the auxiliary domains. Previous works mainly focused on improving the model of utilizing the auxiliary information yet little on the selection of auxiliary domains, althoug...
متن کاملCross-Domain Collaborative Filtering with Review Text
Most existing cross-domain recommendation algorithms focus on modeling ratings, while ignoring review texts. The review text, however, contains rich information, which can be utilized to alleviate data sparsity limitations, and interpret transfer patterns. In this paper, we investigate how to utilize the review text to improve cross-domain collaborative filtering models. The challenge lies in t...
متن کاملOn the Use of Cross-Domain User Preferences and Personality Traits in Collaborative Filtering
We present a study comparing collaborative filtering methods enhanced with user personality traits and cross-domain ratings in multiple domains on a relatively large dataset. We show that incorporating additional ratings from source domains allows improving the accuracy of recommendations in a different target domain, and that in certain cases, it is better to enrich user models with both cross...
