Collaborative Recommendation with Multi-Criteria Ratings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recommendation systems utilize data analysis techniques to the problem of helping users find the items they would like. Example applications include the recommendation systems for movies, books, CDs and many others. As recommendation systems emerge as an independent research area, the rating structure plays a critical role in recent studies. Among many alternatives, the collaborative filtering algorithms are generally accepted to be successful to estimate user ratings of unseen items and then to derive proper recommendations. In this paper, we extend the concept of single criterion ratings to multi-criteria ones, i.e., an item can be evaluated in many different aspects. For example, the goodness of a restaurant can be evaluated in terms of its food, decor, service and cost. Since there are usually conflicts among different criteria, the recommendation problem cannot be formulated as an optimization problem any more. Instead, we propose in this paper to use data query techniques to solve this multi-criteria recommendation problem. Empirical studies show that our approach is of both theoretical and practical values.

Multi-Aspect Collaborative Filtering based on Linked Data for Personalized Recommendation
Since users often consider more than one aspect when they choose an item, relevant researches introduced multi-criteria recommender systems and showed that multi-criteria ratings add values to the existing collaborative-filtering-based recommender systems to provide more accurate recommendation results to users. However, all the previous works require multi-criteria ratings given by users expli...

Recommender systems are a valuable means for online users to find items of interest in situations when there exists a large set of alternatives. Collaborative Filtering (CF) is a popular technique to build such systems which is based on explicit rating feedback on the items by a larger user community. Recent research has demonstrated that the predictive accuracy of CF based recommender systems ...
