A framework for tag-aware recommender systems

In social tagging system, a user annotates a tag to an item. The tagging information is utilized in recommendation process. In this paper, we propose a hybrid item recommendation method to mitigate limitations of existing approaches and propose a recommendation framework for social tagging systems. The proposed framework consists of tag and item recommendations. Tag recommendation helps users annotate tags and enriches the dataset of a social tagging system. Item recommendation utilizes tags to recommend relevant items to users. We investigate association rule, bigram, tag expansion, and implicit trust relationship for providing tag and item recommendations on the framework. The experimental results show that the proposed hybrid item recommendation method generates more appropriate items than existing research studies on a real-world social tagging dataset.     

基于标签信息特征相似性的协同过滤个性化推荐

标签推荐系统旨在利用标签数据为用户提供个性化推荐。已有的基于标签的推荐方法往往忽视了用户和资源本身的特征,而且在相似性度量时仅针对项目相似性或用户相似性进行计算,并未充分考虑二者之间的有效融合,推荐结果的准确性较低。为了解决上述问题,将标签信息融入到结合用户相似性和项目相似性的协同过滤中,提出融合标签特征与相似性的协同过滤个性化推荐方法。该方法在充分考虑用户、项目以及标签信息的基础上,利用二维矩阵来定义用户-标签以及标签-项目之间的行为。构建用户和项目的标签特征表示,通过基于标签特征的相似性度量方法计算用户相似性和项目相似性。基于用户标签行为和用户与项目的相似性线性组合来预测用户对项目的偏好值,并根据预测偏好值排序,生成最终的推荐列表。在Last.fm数据集上的实验结果表明,该方法能够提高推荐的准确度,满足用户的个性化需求。

一种融合标签和知识图谱的推荐方法

随着信息的海量增长,推荐系统成为我们日常生活中一种重要的应用。传统的推荐系统根据用户和物品的交互行为进行推荐并利用用户对物品的评分来体现用户的喜好,但是数据的稀疏性会影响推荐结果的准确度,并且简单地评分数字也难以体现用户偏好的主观性以及用户选择的可解释性。因此,该文提出了一种融合标签和知识图谱的推荐方法,其中标签是一种文本信息,其包含的丰富内容和潜在的语义信息可以体现用户对物品的主观评价,对推荐起着关键作用。而知识图谱作为一种有效的推荐辅助技术,其包含的大量实体能为物品提供更多有效的特征信息。此外,该文还提出了一种融合注意力和自注意力的混合注意力模型,通过标签和实体为物品特征分配混合注意力权重,从而提高了推荐性能。实验结果表明,在MovieLens和Last.FM数据集上,该模型的推荐性能较其他推荐算法有所提升。     

基于标签、得分和偏好时效性的项目推荐方法

网络信息的爆炸式增长使得推荐系统成为一项研究的热点。现存的推荐系统在实际运营中存在各自的缺陷。在web2.0环境下,标签、项目得分以及用户标注项目的时间均包含暗示用户偏好的重要信息,这些信息对提高推荐系统准确度是十分重要的。在借鉴协同过滤思想的基础上,提出综合考虑标签、项目得分和用户偏好时效性的项目推荐模型,并对此模型的体系结构及应用前景进行了分析。     

A Review of Ontology‐Based Tag Recommendation Approaches

Tag recommender schemes suggest related tags for an untagged resource and better tag suggestions to tagged resources. Tagging is very important if the user identifies the tag that is more precise to use in searching interesting blogs. There is no clear information regarding the meaning of each tag in a tagging process. An user can use various tags for the same content, and he can also use new tags for an item in a blog. When the user selects tags, the resultant metadata may comprise homonyms and synonyms. This may cause an improper relationship among items and ineffective searches for topic information. The collaborative tag recommendation allows a set of freely selected text keywords as tags assigned by users. These tags are imprecise, irrelevant, and misleading because there is no control over the tag assignment. It does not follow any formal guidelines to assist tag generation, and tags are assigned to resources based on the knowledge of the users. This causes misspelled tags, multiple tags with the same meaning, bad word encoding, and personalized words without common meaning. This problem leads to miscategorization of items, irrelevant search results, wrong prediction, and their recommendations. Tag relevancy can be judged only by a specific user. These aspects could provide new challenges and opportunities to its tag recommendation problem. This paper reviews the challenges to meet the tag recommendation problem. A brief comparison between existing works is presented, which we can identify and point out the novel research directions. The overall performance of our ontology‐based recommender systems is favorably compared to other systems in the literature.     

基于改进项目相关性度量的协同过滤推荐算法

在计算用户相似度时,传统的协同过滤推荐算法往往只考虑单一的用户评分矩阵,而忽视了项目之间的相关性对推荐精度的影响。对此,本文提出了一种优化的协同过滤推荐模型,在用户最近邻计算时引入项目相关性度量方法,以便使得最近邻用户的选择更准确;此外,在预测评分环节考虑到用户兴趣随时间衰减变化,提出了使用衰减函数来提升评价的时间效应的影响。实验结果表明,本文提出的算法在预测准确率和分类准确率方面均优于基于传统相似性度量的项目协同过滤算法。     

Tag recommendation method in folksonomy based on user tagging status

A folksonomy consists of three basic entities, namely users, tags and resources. This kind of social tagging system is a good way to index information, facilitate searches and navigate resources. The main objective of this paper is to present a novel method to improve the quality of tag recommendation. According to the statistical analysis, we find that the total number of tags used by a user changes over time in a social tagging system. Thus, this paper introduces the concept of user tagging status, namely the growing status, the mature status and the dormant status. Then, the determining user tagging status algorithm is presented considering a user’s current tagging status to be one of the three tagging status at one point. Finally, three corresponding strategies are developed to compute the tag probability distribution based on the statistical language model in order to recommend tags most likely to be used by users. Experimental results show that the proposed method is better than the compared methods at the accuracy of tag recommendation.     

基于多维特征交叉的深度协同过滤算法

基于深度学习的推荐算法最初以用户和物品的ID信息作为输入,但是ID无法很好地表现用户与物品的特征。在原始数据中,用户对物品的评分数据在一定程度上能表现出用户和物品的特征,但是未考虑用户的评分偏好以及物品的热门程度。在评分任务中使用隐式反馈和ID信息作为用户与物品的特征,在消除用户主观性对特征造成的噪声的同时在一定程度上缓解冷启动问题,利用单层神经网络对原始高维稀疏特征降维,使用特征交叉得到用户与物品的低阶交互,再利用神经网络捕获用户与物品的高阶交互,有效提取了特征间的高低阶交互。在四个公开数据集上的实验表明,该算法能有效提高推荐精度。     

融合自注意力机制与长短期偏好的序列推荐模型

针对现有的序列推荐算法仅利用短期顺序行为进行推荐,而没有充分考虑用户的长期偏好和项目之间更深层次的联系等问题,提出一种融合自注意力机制与长短期偏好的序列推荐模型(combines self-attention with long-term and short-term recommendation,CSALSR)。该模型首先建模用户和项目的潜在特征表示,将用户短期交互序列中的项目成对编码为三向张量,然后经过自注意力机制模块并使用卷积神经网络(convolutional neural network,CNN)从用户的顺序模式中提取项目间更深层次的联系。同时考虑用户的长期偏好,将相似用户的嵌入作为补充增强用户表征。在MovieLens-1M和Gowalla数据集上,实验结果表明提出的方法在准确率precision@N、召回率recall@N、均值平均精度(mean average precision,MAP)上优于其他方法。     

基于多元关系的张量分解标签推荐方法

标签推荐的现有方法忽视了多种属性特征之间的联系,无法保证大数据环境下推荐系统的准确率。针对该问题,提出了一种基于用户聚类和张量分解的新标签推荐方法,以进一步提高标签推荐的质量。该方法首先对一些对产品具有重要影响的用户进行聚类,然后根据用户、产品、标签和产品评分之间的多元关系综合计算总权重。最后,根据聚类之后的用户群体以及多元关系的总权值构建张量并进行张量因式分解。实验与传统张量分解方法相对比,结果表明提出的方法在准确率上具有一定的提高,验证了算法的有效性。     

Interactive resource recommendation algorithm based on tag information

With the popularization of social media and the exponential growth of information generated by online users, the recommender system has been popular in helping users to find the desired resources from vast amounts of data. However, the cold-start problem is one of the major challenges for personalized recommendation. In this work, we utilized the tag information associated with different resources, and proposed a tag-based interactive framework to make the resource recommendation for different users. During the interaction, the most effective tag information will be selected for users to choose, and the approach considers the users’ feedback to dynamically adjusts the recommended candidates during the recommendation process. Furthermore, to effectively explore the user preference and resource characteristics, we analyzed the tag information of different resources to represent the user and resource features, considering the users’ personal operations and time factor, based on which we can identify the similar users and resource items. Probabilistic matrix factorization is employed in our work to overcome the rating sparsity, which is enhanced by embedding the similar user and resource information. The experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can get more accurate predictions and higher recommendation efficiency.     

基于潜在标签挖掘和细粒度偏好的个性化标签推荐

为进一步提高个性化标签推荐性能,针对标签数据的稀疏性以及传统方法忽略隐藏在用户和项目上下文中潜在标签的缺陷,提出一种基于潜在标签挖掘和细粒度偏好的个性化标签推荐方法。首先,提出利用用户和项目的上下文信息从大量未观测标签中挖掘用户可能感兴趣的少量潜在标签,将标签重新划分为正类标签、潜在标签和负类标签三类,进而构建〈用户,项目〉对标签的细粒度偏好关系,在缓解标签稀疏性的同时,提高对标签偏好关系的表达能力;然后,基于贝叶斯个性化排序优化框架对细粒度偏好关系进行建模,并结合成对交互张量分解对偏好值进行预测,构建细粒度的个性化标签推荐模型并提出优化算法。对比实验表明,提出的方法在保证较快收敛速度的前提下,有效地提高了个性化标签的推荐准确性。     

基于LDA的隐式标签协同过滤推荐算法

固定标签协同过滤推荐算法,未充分考虑标签因子的多样化,主要依靠人工标记,扩展性不强,主观因素多。本文从用户的喜好特征因素角度出发,在固定标签协同过滤推荐算法的基础上,提出一种隐式标签协同过滤推荐算法。该算法利用LDA主题模型生成项目文本的隐式标签,得到项目-标签特征权重,根据算法性能优化的要求选择标签数量,将项目-标签矩阵与用户评分矩阵结合得到用户对标签的偏好矩阵,最后通过协同过滤算法产生推荐。实验结果表明,本文提出的基于LDA的隐式标签协同过滤推荐算法缓解了数据稀疏性问题,项目推荐的召回率、准确度和F1值有较大提升。     

融合多语义信任度与全局信息的混合推荐算法

数据稀疏问题普遍存在于协同过滤系统,仅考虑共同评分项目上局部上下文信息的相似度度量方法已不具备较高可靠性。为解决上述问题,提出一种融合多语义信任度和全局信息的混合推荐算法（multi semantic trust and global knowledge,MSTGK）。引入加权异构信息网络（weighted heterogeneous information network,WHIN）,通过加权元路径处理评分数据、社交关系、用户标签和项目属性对用户信任的影响,挖掘不同语义的信任信息以缓解数据稀疏性问题;考虑项目流行度和用户偏好程度两个全局要素对用户相似度的影响,将其作为权重因子改进了JMSD相似测度,旨在提高相似度计算精度;融合用户的多语义信任度和全局相似度进行综合推荐。在DoubanMovie和Yelp两个真实数据集上的实验结果表明,所提算法缓解了数据稀疏问题,相比于其他基线方法,预测准确率分别提高了2.01个百分点和2.45个百分点。     

一种融合个性化与多样性的人物标签推荐方法

针对人物标签推荐中多样性及推荐标签质量问题,该文提出了一种融合个性化与多样性的人物标签推荐方法。该方法使用主题模型对用户关注对象建模,通过聚类分析把具有相似言论的对象划分到同一类簇;然后对每个类簇的标签进行冗余处理,并选取代表性标签;最后对不同类簇中的标签融合排序,以获取Top-K个标签推荐给用户。实验结果表明,与已有推荐方法相比,该方法在反映用户兴趣爱好的同时,能显著提高标签推荐质量和推荐结果的多样性。     

Exploiting interactions of review text,hidden user communities and item groups,and time for collaborative filtering

Rich side information concerning users and items are valuable for collaborative filtering (CF) algorithms for recommendation. For example, rating score is often associated with a piece of review text, which is capable of providing valuable information to reveal the reasons why a user gives a certain rating. Moreover, the underlying community and group relationship buried in users and items are potentially useful for CF. In this paper, we develop a new model to tackle the CF problem which predicts user’s ratings on previously unrated items by effectively exploiting interactions among review texts as well as the hidden user community and item group information. We call this model CMR (co-clustering collaborative filtering model with review text). Specifically, we employ the co-clustering technique to model the user community and item group, and each community–group pair corresponds to a co-cluster, which is characterized by a rating distribution in exponential family and a topic distribution. We have conducted extensive experiments on 22 real-world datasets, and our proposed model CMR outperforms the state-of-the-art latent factor models. Furthermore, both the user’s preference and item profile are drifting over time. Dynamic modeling the temporal changes in user’s preference and item profiles are desirable for improving a recommendation system. We extend CMR and propose an enhanced model called TCMR to consider time information and exploit the temporal interactions among review texts and co-clusters of user communities and item groups. In this TCMR model, each community–group co-cluster is characterized by an additional beta distribution for time modeling. To evaluate our TCMR model, we have conducted another set of experiments on 22 larger datasets with wider time span. Our proposed model TCMR performs better than CMR and the standard time-aware recommendation model on the rating score prediction tasks. We also investigate the temporal effect on the user–item co-clusters.     

标签扩展的协同过滤推荐算法

大多数利用标签与用户和项目之间关系的推荐算法,都要面临用户个体不同所导致的标签稀疏问题,不同的用户为项目所标注的标签会有所不同.针对由于用户标注标签的随意性而导致的用户标签和项目标签矩阵稀疏问题,提出了一种标签扩展的协同过滤推荐算法.该算法根据用户标注标签的行为计算基于标签的标签相似度,根据用户标注的标签语义计算基于标签语义的标签相似度,从用户行为和标签语义2个方面评估标签的相似度,并利用标签相似度来扩展每个项目标签,降低由项目与标签的关联关系产生的矩阵稀疏度.在M ovieLens数据集上的实验结果表明,所提算法在精度上有所提高.     

Improvement of collaborative filtering using rating normalization

With the advent of the Internet, the types and amount of information one can access have increased dramatically. In today’s overwhelming information environment, recommendation systems that quickly analyze large amounts of available information and help users find items of interest are increasingly needed. This paper proposes an improvement of an existing preference prediction algorithm to increase the accuracy of recommendation systems. In a recommendation system, prediction of items preferred by users is based on their ratings. However, individual users with the same degree of satisfaction to an item may give different ratings to the item. We intend to make more precise preference prediction by perceiving differences in users’ rating dispositions. The proposed method consists of two processes of perceiving users’ rating dispositions with clustering and of performing rating normalization according to such rating dispositions. The experimental results show that our method yields higher performance than ordinary collaborative filtering approach.
