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.

Hybrid immunizing solution for job recommender system

TL;DR: The proposed approach aims to recommend the best chances of opening jobs to the applicant who searches for job by combining the artificial immune system (AIS), which has a powerful exploration capability in polynomial time, with the collaborative filtering, which can exploit the neighbors’ interests.

CAMO: A Collaborative Ranking Method for Content Based Recommendation.

TL;DR: This work proposes a recommender named CAMO 1, which employs a multi-layer content encoder for simultaneously capturing the semantic information of multitopic and word order and makes use of adversarial training to prevent the complex encoder from overfitting.

A Context-Aware and User Behavior-Based Recommender System with Regarding Social Network Analysis

TL;DR: This paper presents a new context aware and behavior-based recommender system which utilizes social network analysis to enhance recommending results and considers multiple relations among users and use a multi-layer social network to make groups of preferences richer.

FreeRec: an anonymous and distributed personalization architecture

TL;DR: FreeRec’s decentralized approach makes it independent of any entity wishing to collect personal data about users, and its onion-routing-like gossip-based overlay protocols effectively hide the association between users and their interest profiles without affecting the quality of personalization.

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.
