This paper describes the solution method taken by LeBuSiShu team for track1 in ACM KDD CUP 2011 contest (resulting in the 5th place). We identified two main challenges: the unique item taxonomy characteristics as well as the large data set size.To handle the item taxonomy, we present a novel method called Matrix Factorization Item Taxonomy Regularization (MFITR). MFITR obtained the 2nd best prediction result out of more then ten implemented algorithms. For rapidly computing multiple solutions of various algorithms, we have implemented an open source parallel collaborative filtering library on top of the GraphLab machine learning framework. We report some preliminary performance results obtained using the BlackLight supercomputer.

In multi-party collaborative learning, the parameter server sends a global model to each data holder for local training and then aggregates committed models globally to achieve privacy protection. However, both the dragger issue of synchronous collab orative learning and the staleness issue of asynchronous collaborative learning make collaborative learning inefficient in real-world heterogeneous environments. We propose a novel and efficient collaborative learning framework named AdaptCL, which generates an adaptive sub-model dynamically from the global base model for each data holder, without any prior information about worker capability. All workers (data holders) achieve approximately identical update time as the fastest worker by equipping them with capability-adapted pruned models. Thus the training process can be dramatically accelerated. Besides, we tailor the efficient pruned rate learning algorithm and pruning approach for AdaptCL. Meanwhile, AdaptCL provides a mechanism for handling the trade-off between accuracy and time overhead and can be combined with other techniques to accelerate training further. Empirical results show that AdaptCL introduces little computing and communication overhead. AdaptCL achieves time savings of more than 41% on average and improves accuracy in a low heterogeneous environment. In a highly heterogeneous environment, AdaptCL achieves a training speedup of 6.2x with a slight loss of accuracy.
We focus on the problem of streaming recommender system and explore novel collaborative filtering algorithms to handle the data dynamicity and complexity in a streaming manner. Although deep neural networks have demonstrated the effectiveness of reco mmendation tasks, it is lack of explorations on integrating probabilistic models and deep architectures under streaming recommendation settings. Conjoining the complementary advantages of probabilistic models and deep neural networks could enhance both model effectiveness and the understanding of inference uncertainties. To bridge the gap, in this paper, we propose a Coupled Variational Recurrent Collaborative Filtering (CVRCF) framework based on the idea of Deep Bayesian Learning to handle the streaming recommendation problem. The framework jointly combines stochastic processes and deep factorization models under a Bayesian paradigm to model the generation and evolution of users preferences and items popularities. To ensure efficient optimization and streaming update, we further propose a sequential variational inference algorithm based on a cross variational recurrent neural network structure. Experimental results on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods in terms of both temporal dependency modeling and predictive accuracy. The learned latent variables also provide visualized interpretations for the evolution of temporal dynamics.
The interactions of users and items in recommender system could be naturally modeled as a user-item bipartite graph. In recent years, we have witnessed an emerging research effort in exploring user-item graph for collaborative filtering methods. Neve rtheless, the formation of user-item interactions typically arises from highly complex latent purchasing motivations, such as high cost performance or eye-catching appearance, which are indistinguishably represented by the edges. The existing approaches still remain the differences between various purchasing motivations unexplored, rendering the inability to capture fine-grained user preference. Therefore, in this paper we propose a novel Multi-Component graph convolutional Collaborative Filtering (MCCF) approach to distinguish the latent purchasing motivations underneath the observed explicit user-item interactions. Specifically, there are two elaborately designed modules, decomposer and combiner, inside MCCF. The former first decomposes the edges in user-item graph to identify the latent components that may cause the purchasing relationship; the latter then recombines these latent components automatically to obtain unified embeddings for prediction. Furthermore, the sparse regularizer and weighted random sample strategy are utilized to alleviate the overfitting problem and accelerate the optimization. Empirical results on three real datasets and a synthetic dataset not only show the significant performance gains of MCCF, but also well demonstrate the necessity of considering multiple components.
In this paper, we propose a spreading activation approach for collaborative filtering (SA-CF). By using the opinion spreading process, the similarity between any users can be obtained. The algorithm has remarkably higher accuracy than the standard co llaborative filtering (CF) using Pearson correlation. Furthermore, we introduce a free parameter $beta$ to regulate the contributions of objects to user-user correlations. The numerical results indicate that decreasing the influence of popular objects can further improve the algorithmic accuracy and personality. We argue that a better algorithm should simultaneously require less computation and generate higher accuracy. Accordingly, we further propose an algorithm involving only the top-$N$ similar neighbors for each target user, which has both less computational complexity and higher algorithmic accuracy.
Model-based collaborative filtering analyzes user-item interactions to infer latent factors that represent user preferences and item characteristics in order to predict future interactions. Most collaborative filtering algorithms assume that these la tent factors are static, although it has been shown that user preferences and item perceptions drift over time. In this paper, we propose a conjugate and numerically stable dynamic matrix factorization (DCPF) based on compound Poisson matrix factorization that models the smoothly drifting latent factors using Gamma-Markov chains. We propose a numerically stable Gamma chain construction, and then present a stochastic variational inference approach to estimate the parameters of our model. We apply our model to time-stamped ratings data sets: Netflix, Yelp, and Last.fm, where DCPF achieves a higher predictive accuracy than state-of-the-art static and dynamic factorization models.
