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.

A content-enhanced approach for cold-start problem in collaborative filtering

TL;DR: This paper proposes a hybrid algorithm by using both the ratings and content information to tackle user-side cold-start problem and makes predictions for novel users by combining the method with the collaborative filtering algorithm.

A Survey of Recommender Systems with Multi-Objective Optimization

TL;DR: A comprehensive literature review of multi-objective recommender systems can be found in this article, where the authors identify the circumstances in which a multiobjective recommendation system could be useful, summarize the methodologies and evaluation approaches in these systems, point out existing challenges or weaknesses, and finally provide the guidelines and suggestions for the development of multobjective Recommender systems.

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

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.
