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.

The impact of consumer preferences on the accuracy of collaborative filtering recommender systems

TL;DR: The study shows that recommendation accuracy is significantly affected by the similarity and number of consumer types and the distribution of consumers, and develops a model-specific metric to measure the recommendation accuracy.

Temporal models in recommender systems: an exploratory study on different evaluation dimensions

Campos Soto, +1 more
TL;DR: Findings show 1) the importance of establishing a common and rigorous evaluation scheme when different algorithms are to be compared and 2) the most suitable recommendation algorithm will depend on the particular task at hand and evaluation dimension of interest.

Cross-domain collaborative filtering via bilinear multilevel analysis

TL;DR: A novel CDCF model, the Bilinear Multilevel Analysis (BLMA), is proposed, which seamlessly introduces multilevel analysis theory to the most successful collaborative filtering method, matrix factorization (MF).

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.
