Abstract
As one of the most successful approaches to building recommender systems, collaborative filtering (CF) uses the known preferences of a group of users to make recommendations or predictions of the unknown preferences for other users. In this paper, we first introduce CF tasks and their main challenges, such as data sparsity, scalability, synonymy, gray sheep, shilling attacks, privacy protection, etc., and their possible solutions. We then present three main categories of CF techniques: memory-based, modelbased, and hybrid CF algorithms (that combine CF with other recommendation techniques), with examples for representative algorithms of each category, and analysis of their predictive performance and their ability to address the challenges. From basic techniques to the state-of-the-art, we attempt to present a comprehensive survey for CF techniques, which can be served as a roadmap for research and practice in this area.

Providing effective recommendations in discussion groups using a new hybrid recommender system based on implicit ratings and semantic similarity

TL;DR: A new recommender system is represented, which includes three parts, namely content-based, collaborative, and hybrid filtering parts, which uses the tagging features to provide more appropriate recommendations on discussion groups.

Cluster searching strategies for collaborative recommendation systems

TL;DR: This research provides an efficient implementation of an individualistic strategy which initially clusters the users and then exploits the members within clusters, but not just the cluster representatives, during the recommendation generation stage by adapting a specifically tailored cluster-skipping inverted index structure.

Stability of matrix factorization for collaborative filtering

TL;DR: The stability vis a vis adversarial noise of matrix factorization algorithm for matrix completion is studied and the prediction error of individual users based on the subspace stability is analyzed to solve the problem of collaborative filtering under manipulator attack.

Latent Dirichlet Allocation

TL;DR: This paper proposed a generative model for text and other collections of discrete data that generalizes or improves on several previous models including naive Bayes/unigram, mixture of unigrams, and Hof-mann's aspect model, also known as probabilistic latent semantic indexing (pLSI).

Some methods for classification and analysis of multivariate observations

TL;DR: The k-means algorithm as mentioned in this paper partitions an N-dimensional population into k sets on the basis of a sample, which is a generalization of the ordinary sample mean, and it is shown to give partitions which are reasonably efficient in the sense of within-class variance.
