چکیده

The Master said, " When I walk along with two others, they may serve me as my teachers. I will select their good qualities and follow them, their bad qualities and avoid them. " The Lunyu: BooK VII Shu'er Confucius, 551 BCE-479 BCE to my family for making it possible Summary Collaborative filtering is the common technique of predicting the interests of a user by collecting preference information from many users. Although it is generally regarded as a key information retrieval technique, its relation to the existing information retrieval theory is unclear. This thesis shows how the development of collaborative filtering can gain many benefits from information retrieval theories and models. It brings the notion of relevance into collabora-tive filtering and develops several relevance models for collaborative filtering. Besides dealing with user profiles that are obtained by explicitly asking users to rate information items, the relevance models can also cope with the situations where user profiles are implicitly supplied by observing user interactions with a system. Experimental results complement the theoretical insights with improved recommendation accuracy for both item relevance ranking and user rating prediction. Furthermore, the approaches are more than just analogy: our derivations of the unified relevance model show that popular user-based and item-based approaches represent only a partial view of the problem, whereas a unified view that brings these partial views together gives better insights into their relative importance and how retrieval can benefit from their combination.

Computing Neighbourhoods with Language Models in a Collaborative Filtering Scenario

Language models represent a successful framework for many Information Retrieval tasks: ad hoc retrieval, pseudo-relevance feedback or expert finding are some examples. We present how language models can compute effectively user or item neighbourhoods in a collaborative filtering scenario (this idea was originally proposed in [14]). The experiments support the applicability of this approach for ...

Proactive Information Retrieval by User Modeling from Eye Tracking

In this position paper we review the results of the the eye-tracking -related part of the PRIMA project (Proactive Information Retrieval by Adaptive Models of User’s Attention and Interests), carried out during 2003–2005. The project focused on how to construct and combine user models from implicit or explicit feedback signals. If proper user models can be constructed, it will be possible to bu...
