Giving or recommending appropriate content based on the quality of experience is the most important and challenging issue in recommender systems. As collaborative filtering (CF) is one of the most prominent and popular techniques used for recommender systems, we propose a new clustering-based CF (CBCF) method using an incentivized/penalized user (IPU) model only with ratings given by users, which is thus easy to implement. We aim to design such a simple clustering-based approach with no further prior information while improving the recommendation accuracy. To be precise, the purpose of CBCF with the IPU model is to improve recommendation performance such as precision, recall, and $F_1$ score by carefully exploiting different preferences among users. Specifically, we formulate a constrained optimization problem, in which we aim to maximize the recall (or equivalently $F_1$ score) for a given precision. To this end, users are divided into several clusters based on the actual rating data and Pearson correlation coefficient. Afterwards, we give each item an incentive/penalty according to the preference tendency by users within the same cluster. Our experimental results show a significant performance improvement over the baseline CF scheme without clustering in terms of recall or $F_1$ score for a given precision.
Due to the development of graph neural network models, like graph convolutional network (GCN), graph-based representation learning methods have made great progress in recommender systems. However, the data sparsity is still a challenging problem that
A growing proportion of human interactions are digitized on social media platforms and subjected to algorithmic decision-making, and it has become increasingly important to ensure fair treatment from these algorithms. In this work, we investigate gen
Among various recommender techniques, collaborative filtering (CF) is the most successful one. And a key problem in CF is how to represent users and items. Previous works usually represent a user (an item) as a vector of latent factors (aka. textit{e
A key challenge of the collaborative filtering (CF) information filtering is how to obtain the reliable and accurate results with the help of peers recommendation. Since the similarities from small-degree users to large-degree users would be larger t
In recent years, text-aware collaborative filtering methods have been proposed to address essential challenges in recommendations such as data sparsity, cold start problem, and long-tail distribution. However, many of these text-oriented methods rely
