ILCR: Item-based Latent Factors for Sparse Collaborative Retrieval


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Interactions between search and recommendation have recently attracted significant attention, and several studies have shown that many potential applications involve with a joint problem of producing recommendations to users with respect to a given query, termed $Collaborative$ $Retrieval$ (CR). Successful algorithms designed for CR should be potentially flexible at dealing with the sparsity challenges since the setup of collaborative retrieval associates with a given $query$ $times$ $user$ $times$ $item$ tensor instead of traditional $user$ $times$ $item$ matrix. Recently, several works are proposed to study CR task from users perspective. In this paper, we aim to sufficiently explore the sophisticated relationship of each $query$ $times$ $user$ $times$ $item$ triple from items perspective. By integrating item-based collaborative information for this joint task, we present an alternative factorized model that could better evaluate the ranks of those items with sparse information for the given query-user pair. In addition, we suggest to employ a recently proposed scalable ranking learning algorithm, namely BPR, to optimize the state-of-the-art approach, $Latent$ $Collaborative$ $Retrieval$ model, instead of the original learning algorithm. The experimental results on two real-world datasets, (i.e. emph{Last.fm}, emph{Yelp}), demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed approach.
