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.

Trust-aware recommendation for improving aggregate diversity

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel trust-aware recommendation method by incorporating time factor into similarity computation and demonstrates that the proposed method outperforms the baseline method in terms of aggregate diversity while maintaining almost the same recall.

Enhancing Recommender Systems Using Linked Open Data-Based Semantic Analysis of Items

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates how LOD can be a reliable and rich source of content information that supports recommender systems to overcome problems such as the item cold-start problem and limited content analysis that restrict many of the existing systems.

DUSKG: A fine-grained knowledge graph for effective personalized service recommendation

TL;DR: This paper proposes an elegant, natural and compact data representation model incorporating such kinds of logical relations as knowledge graph, and proposes five personalized service recommendation methods presented in terms of such value preferences and various relations in DUSKG.

Deep generative ranking for personalized recommendation

TL;DR: A deep generative ranking (DGR) model under the Wasserstein autoencoder framework is proposed and experimental results demonstrate that DGR consistently benefit the recommendation system in ranking estimation task, especially for the near-cold-start-users.

Latent dirichlet allocation

TL;DR: This work proposes 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 Hofmann's aspect model.

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.
