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.

Preference-based mining of top-K influential nodes in social networks

TL;DR: A two-stage mining algorithm to mine the most influential nodes in a network on a given topic, which shows that GAUP performs better than the state-of-the-art greedy algorithm, SVD-based collaborative filtering, and HITS.

Probabilistic Group Recommendation Model for Crowdfunding Domains

TL;DR: A probabilistic recommendation model is proposed, called CrowdRec, that recommends Kickstarter projects to a group of investors by incorporating the on-going status of projects, the personal preference of individual members, and the collective preference of the group.

Interacting Attention-gated Recurrent Networks for Recommendation

TL;DR: The Interacting Attention-gated Recurrent Network (IARN) is presented which adopts the attention model to measure the relevance of each time step of user and item interaction history and can selectively memorize different time steps of a user's history when predicting her preferences over different items.

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.
