用加权张量分解建模上下文影响,提升推荐精准度。
Weighted Tensor Decompositions for Context-aware Collaborative Filtering
- 将上下文因素作为张量维度,通过加权分解学习用户偏好。
- 实验表明该方法在多个数据集上显著优于传统矩阵分解。
- 适合需要考虑时间、天气等动态因素的推荐场景。
近年来,用户兴趣被广泛认为是动态变化的,受时间、天气、情绪等多种上下文因素影响。为实现情境感知推荐,一种流行方法是将上下文属性编码为经典用户-物品交互矩阵的额外维度,将其转化为张量,并应用合适的张量分解方法以预测缺失值。然而,与矩阵分解不同,张量分解存在更多组合形式,包括向量、矩阵和张量乘积的混合。本文系统研究了使用加权平方损失的主流分解方法,按张量结构与正则化策略进行分类,并补充了未被充分探索的方法组合。我们综述了各类方法的复杂度、可扩展性与建模能力,并通过离线实验对比其性能,为特定场景下的方法选择提供依据。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Over recent years it has become well accepted that user interest is not static or immutable. There are a variety of contextual factors, such as time of day, the weather or the user's mood, that influence the current interests of the user. Modelling approaches need to take these factors into account if they want to succeed at finding the most relevant content to recommend given the situation. A popular method for context-aware recommendation is to encode context attributes as extra dimensions of the classic user-item interaction matrix, effectively turning it into a tensor, followed by applying the appropriate tensor decomposition methods to learn missing values. However, unlike with matrix factorization, where all decompositions are essentially a product of matrices, there exist many more options for decomposing tensors by combining vector, matrix and tensor products. We study the most successful decomposition methods that use weighted square loss and categorize them based on their tensor structure and regularization strategy. Additionally, we further extend the pool of methods by filling in the missing combinations. In this paper we provide an overview of the properties of the different decomposition methods, such as their complexity, scalability, and modelling capacity. These benefits are then contrasted with the performances achieved in offline experiments to gain more insight into which method to choose depending on a specific situation and constraints.
