一种综合标签和时间因素的个性化推荐方法

针对现存的基于标签的社会化推荐系统在构建用户兴趣模型时存在的缺陷,提出一种综合标签及其时间信息的资源推荐(TTRR)模型。此模型考虑了用户的兴趣具有时间性的特点,即用户兴趣是随着时间而变化的、用户最近新打的标签更能反映用户近期的兴趣这一特性。为此,在借鉴协同过滤思想的基础上,通过利用标签使用频率信息和项目的标注时间来构建用户评分伪矩阵;在此基础上计算目标用户的最近邻集合;最后根据邻居用户给出推荐结果。通过在CiteULike数据集上进行实验,并与传统的基于标注的推荐方法进行比较,实验结果表明,TTRR模型能够更好地反映出用户的偏好,能够显著地提高推荐准确度。     

一种基于特征的协同聚类模型

推荐系统能够有效解决用户的个性化推荐问题,其中,协同过滤是近年来的主流方法.协同过滤算法具有一定的局限性,因为需要在全部的物品中为用户进行推荐,而单个用户往往只对某些领域的物品感兴趣.为了解决这个问题,提出了一种新的协同聚类模型,先将用户和物品根据兴趣或特征进行聚类分组,然后在每个分组上进行相应的推荐.该模型主要包含2个模块:1)特征表示模块,用以发掘用户的兴趣和物品的特征;2)根据该特征构建的图模型,用来求解最终的聚类分组.通过在3种公开数据集上与其他算法进行性能比较,验证了这种协同聚类模型能够显著提高推荐系统预测与推荐的准确度.     

一种检测兴趣漂移的图结构推荐系统

协同过滤是构造推荐系统最有效的方法之一.其中,基于图结构推荐方法成为近来协同过滤的研究热点.基于图结构的方法视用户和项为图的结点,并利用图理论去计算用户和项之间的相似度.尽管人们对图结构推荐系统开展了很多的研究和应用,然而这些研究都认为用户的兴趣是保持不变的,所以不能够根据用户兴趣的相关变化做出合理推荐.本文提出一种新的可以检测用户兴趣漂移的图结构推荐系统.首先,设计了一个新的兴趣漂移检测方法,它可以有效地检测出用户兴趣在何时发生了哪种变化.其次,根据用户的兴趣序列,对评分项进行加权并构造用户特征向量.最后,整合二部投影与随机游走进行项推荐.在标准数据集MovieLens上的测试表明算法优于两个图结构推荐方法和一个评分时间加权的协同过滤方法.     

Web user profiles with time-decay and prototyping

User profiling represents an important initial step in personalizing web services and in building recommendation systems. Non-invasive profiling methods monitor users’ behavior and infer interest profiles from their past actions. Most existing profiling methods, which relate the users’ interests to a given ontology, consider only the user’s past actions when calculating his/her profile. The profiling algorithms use a time-decay function for users’ past actions to adapt the profile to shifts in the user’s interests over time. In our work, we propose a hybrid method that combines time-decay and profile correction using prototype profiles. The additional profile correction step considers the interests of similar users and expands the interest scores beyond the concepts detected in the user’s past actions, which facilitates faster profile adaptation to the user’s new interests. In our experimental work, we experimented extensively with two real data sets: data of an online advertising network and student data in an online e-learning environment. We measured the quality of the computed user profiles by correlating them to users’ future actions. Experiments revealed that it is crucial to build the user’s profile using a large number of events from his/her past and to update the profile regularly. When we are unable to do so, the profile correction can be used to keep the quality of the profile from dropping too low. The results show that our method significantly outperforms existing ontological profiling methods.     

基于用户偏好的信任网络随机游走推荐模型

为了提高推荐算法评分预测的准确度,解决冷启动用户推荐问题,在TrustWalker模型基础上提出一种基于用户偏好的随机游走模型——PtTrustWalker。首先,利用矩阵分解法对社会网络中的用户、项目相似度进行计算;其次,将项目进行聚类,通过用户评分计算用户对项目类的偏好和不同项目类下的用户相似度;最后,利用权威度和用户偏好将信任细化为不同类别下用户的信任,并在游走过程中利用信任用户最高偏好类中与目标物品相似的项目评分进行评分预测。该模型降低了噪声数据的影响,从而提高了推荐结果的稳定性。实验结果表明,PtTrustWalker模型在推荐质量和推荐速度方面相比现有随机游走模型有所提高。     

Recommendation from access logs with ensemble learning

Many recommendation systems find similar users based on a profile of a target user and recommend products that he/she may be interested in. The profile is constructed with his/her purchase histories. However, histories of new customers are not stored and it is difficult to recommend products to them in the same fashion. The problem is called a cold start problem. We propose a recommendation method using access logs instead of purchase histories, because the access logs are gathered more easily than purchase histories and the access logs include much information on their interests. In this study, we construct user’s profiles using product categories browsed by them from their access logs and predict products with Gradient Boosting Decision Tree. In addition, we carry out evaluation experiments using access logs in a real online shop and discuss performance of our proposed method comparing with conventional machine learning and Support Vector Machine (SVM). We confirmed that the proposed method achieved higher precision than SVM over 10 data sets. Especially, under unbalanced data sets, the proposed method is superior to SVM.     

基于多主题追踪的网络新闻推荐

Product recommendation with temporal dynamics

In many E-commerce recommender systems, a special class of recommendation involves recommending items to users in a life cycle. For example, customers who have babies will shop on Diapers.com within a relatively long period, and purchase different products for babies within different growth stages. Traditional recommendation algorithms produce recommendation lists similar to items that the target user has accessed before (content filtering), or compute recommendation by analyzing the items purchased by the users who are similar to the target user (collaborative filtering). Such recommendation paradigms cannot effectively resolve the situation with a life cycle, i.e., the need of customers within different stages might vary significantly. In this paper, we model users’ behavior with life cycles by employing hand-crafted item taxonomies, of which the background knowledge can be tailored for the computation of personalized recommendation. In particular, our method first formalizes a user’s long-term behavior using the item taxonomy, and then identifies the exact stage of the user. By incorporating collaborative filtering into recommendation, we can easily provide a personalized item list to the user through other similar users within the same stage. An empirical evaluation conducted on a purchasing data collection obtained from Diapers.com demonstrates the efficacy of our proposed method.

融合用户社会地位和矩阵分解的推荐算法

随着社交网络服务的日益流行,社交网络平台为推荐算法提供了丰富的额外信息.假设朋友之间共享更多的共同偏好并且用户往往易于接受来自朋友的推荐,越来越多的推荐系统利用社交网络中用户之间的信任关系来改进传统推荐算法的性能.然而,现有基于社交网络推荐算法忽略了2个问题：1)在不同的领域中,用户信任不同的朋友;2)由于用户在不同的领域内具有不同的社会地位,因此,用户在不同的领域内受朋友的影响程度是不同的.首先利用整体的社交网络结构信息和用户的评分信息推导特定领域社交网络结构,然后利用PageRank算法计算用户在特定领域的社会地位,最后提出了一种融合用户社会地位信息的矩阵分解推荐算法.在真实数据集上的实验结果表明：融合用户地位信息的矩阵分解推荐算法的性能优于传统的基于社交网络推荐算法.

Enhancing collaborative filtering by user interest expansion via personalized ranking

Recommender systems suggest a few items from many possible choices to the users by understanding their past behaviors. In these systems, the user behaviors are influenced by the hidden interests of the users. Learning to leverage the information about user interests is often critical for making better recommendations. However, existing collaborative-filtering-based recommender systems are usually focused on exploiting the information about the user's interaction with the systems; the information about latent user interests is largely underexplored. To that end, inspired by the topic models, in this paper, we propose a novel collaborative-filtering-based recommender system by user interest expansion via personalized ranking, named iExpand. The goal is to build an item-oriented model-based collaborative-filtering framework. The iExpand method introduces a three-layer, user-interests-item, representation scheme, which leads to more accurate ranking recommendation results with less computation cost and helps the understanding of the interactions among users, items, and user interests. Moreover, iExpand strategically deals with many issues that exist in traditional collaborative-filtering approaches, such as the overspecialization problem and the cold-start problem. Finally, we evaluate iExpand on three benchmark data sets, and experimental results show that iExpand can lead to better ranking performance than state-of-the-art methods with a significant margin.     

基于评分差异度和用户偏好的协同过滤算法

针对传统协同过滤推荐算法仅通过使用用户评分数据计算用户相似度以至于推荐精度不高的问题,提出一种改进的协同过滤推荐算法。首先,以用户评分的平均值作为分界点得出用户间的评分差异度,并将其作为权重因子计算基于评分的用户相似度;其次,依据用户项目评分和项目类别信息挖掘用户对项目类别的兴趣度以及用户项目偏好,并以此计算用户偏好相似度;然后,结合上述两种相似度加权产生用户综合相似度;最后,融合传统项目相似度和用户综合相似度进行评分预测及项目推荐。实验结果表明,相对于传统的基于用户评分的协同过滤推荐算法,所提算法在数据集下的平均绝对误差值平均降低了2.4%。该算法可在一定程度上提高推荐算法精度以及推荐质量。     

A hybrid collaborative filtering method for multiple-interests and multiple-content recommendation in E-Commerce

Recommender systems apply knowledge discovery techniques to the problem of making personalized recommendations for products or services during a live interaction. These systems, especially collaborative filtering based on user, are achieving widespread success on the Web. The tremendous growth in the amount of available information and the kinds of commodity to Web sites in recent years poses some key challenges for recommender systems. One of these challenges is ability of recommender systems to be adaptive to environment where users have many completely different interests or items have completely different content (We called it as Multiple interests and Multiple-content problem). Unfortunately, the traditional collaborative filtering systems can not make accurate recommendation for the two cases because the predicted item for active user is not consist with the common interests of his neighbor users. To address this issue we have explored a hybrid collaborative filtering method, collaborative filtering based on item and user techniques, by combining collaborative filtering based on item and collaborative filtering based on user together. Collaborative filtering based on item and user analyze the user-item matrix to identify similarity of target item to other items, generate similar items of target item, and determine neighbor users of active user for target item according to similarity of other users to active user based on similar items of target item.In this paper we firstly analyze limitation of collaborative filtering based on user and collaborative filtering based on item algorithms respectively and emphatically make explain why collaborative filtering based on user is not adaptive to Multiple-interests and Multiple-content recommendation. Based on analysis, we present collaborative filtering based on item and user for Multiple-interests and Multiple-content recommendation. Finally, we experimentally evaluate the results and compare them with collaborative filtering based on user and collaborative filtering based on item, respectively. The experiments suggest that collaborative filtering based on item and user provide better recommendation quality than collaborative filtering based on user and collaborative filtering based on item dramatically.     

基于主题的Web文本聚类方法

在推荐系统中,为了在一定程度上减少用户评分数据稀疏对推荐效果的负面影响,提出了一种基于用户共同评分项目数和用户兴趣的协同过滤推荐算法。此算法将用户共同评分项目数和用户兴趣相似度相结合,使用户之间的相似度计算更加准确,为目标用户提供更好的推荐结果。仿真实验结果表明:所提算法比基于Pearson相似度计算方法的算法推荐效果更优,具有更小的平均绝对误差(MAE),表明了其有效性和可行性。

基于位置的非对称相似性度量的协同过滤推荐算法

为提升推荐系统的准确率,针对传统协同过滤(CF)推荐算法没有有效使用位置信息的问题,提出了一种基于位置的非对称相似性度量的协同过滤推荐算法(LBASCF)。首先,分别利用用户-商品评分矩阵和用户历史消费位置,计算出用户间的余弦相似性和基于位置的非对称相似性;其次,将余弦相似性与基于位置的相似性融合,得到一个新的非对称用户相似性,融合后的相似性能够同时反映用户在位置上和兴趣上的偏好;最后,根据用户的最近邻居对商品的评分向用户推荐新的商品。用某点评数据集和Foursquare数据集对算法的有效性进行了评估。在某点评数据集实验结果证明,与CF相比,LBASCF的召回率和精确率分别提高了1.64%和0.37%;与位置感知协同过滤推荐系统(LARS)方法比较,LBASCF的召回率和精确率分别提高了1.53%和0.35%。实验结果表明,LBASCF相对于CF和LARS在基于位置服务的应用中能够有效提高系统的推荐质量。     

情感分析在电影推荐系统中的应用

基于用户的协同过滤推荐算法是通过分析用户行为寻找相似用户的集合,其核心是用户兴趣模型的建立以及用户间相似度的计算。传统的用户推荐算法是根据用户评分或者物品信息等行为数据进行个性化推荐,准确率比较低。充分考虑在线评论对于用户之间兴趣相似度的作用,通过对评论的情感分析,构建准确的用户兴趣模型,若用户在评论中表现出来的相似度越高,则表示用户之间的兴趣越相似。实验表明,和传统的基于用户的协同过滤推荐算法相比,基于评论情感分析的协同过滤推荐算法,无论准确率还是召回率都有明显提高。
