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.

Building a model-based personalised recommendation approach for tourist attractions from geotagged social media data

TL;DR: This work retrieved a geotagged photo collection from the public API for Flickr and fetched a large amount of other contextual information to rebuild a user's travel history and created a model-based recommendation method with a two-stage architecture that consists of candidate generation (the matching process) and candidate ranking.

Personalized Long- and Short-term Preference Learning for Next POI Recommendation

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a novel method named Personalized Long and Short-term Preference Learning (PLSPL), which combines the long and short-term preference via user-based linear combination unit to learn the personalized weights on different parts for different users.

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.
