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.

Improving group recommendations via detecting comprehensive correlative information

TL;DR: The goal of the work in this paper is describing groups’ preferences better by comprehensively detecting the correlative information among users, groups, and items, in order to alleviate the data sparsity problem and improve the performance of group recommender systems.

Lowering penalties related to stock-outs by shifting demand in product recommendation systems

TL;DR: A method designed to consider actual stock levels in the recommendation process in order to shift demand toward specific products for a specific user is proposed.

Coupled Matrix Factorization within Non-IID Context

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel generic coupled matrix factorization (CMF) model by incorporating non-IID coupling relations between users and items and demonstrates that the user/item couplings can be effectively applied in RS and CMF outperforms the benchmark methods.

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.
