In this article, the authors proposed a generic optimization criterion BPR-Opt for personalized ranking that is the maximum posterior estimator derived from a Bayesian analysis of the problem, which is based on stochastic gradient descent with bootstrap sampling.Abstract:
Item recommendation is the task of predicting a personalized ranking on a set of items (e.g. websites, movies, products). In this paper, we investigate the most common scenario with implicit feedback (e.g. clicks, purchases). There are many methods for item recommendation from implicit feedback like matrix factorization (MF) or adaptive k-nearest-neighbor (kNN). Even though these methods are designed for the item prediction task of personalized ranking, none of them is directly optimized for ranking. In this paper we present a generic optimization criterion BPR-Opt for personalized ranking that is the maximum posterior estimator derived from a Bayesian analysis of the problem. We also provide a generic learning algorithm for optimizing models with respect to BPR-Opt. The learning method is based on stochastic gradient descent with bootstrap sampling. We show how to apply our method to two state-of-the-art recommender models: matrix factorization and adaptive kNN. Our experiments indicate that for the task of personalized ranking our optimization method outperforms the standard learning techniques for MF and kNN. The results show the importance of optimizing models for the right criterion.read more

Ruining He,Julian McAuley +1 more
TL;DR: This paper builds novel models for the One-Class Collaborative Filtering setting, where the goal is to estimate users' fashion-aware personalized ranking functions based on their past feedback and combines high-level visual features extracted from a deep convolutional neural network, users' past feedback, as well as evolving trends within the community.

Factorization meets the neighborhood: a multifaceted collaborative filtering model
TL;DR: The factor and neighborhood models can now be smoothly merged, thereby building a more accurate combined model and a new evaluation metric is suggested, which highlights the differences among methods, based on their performance at a top-K recommendation task.

Collaborative Filtering for Implicit Feedback Datasets
TL;DR: This work identifies unique properties of implicit feedback datasets and proposes treating the data as indication of positive and negative preference associated with vastly varying confidence levels, which leads to a factor model which is especially tailored for implicit feedback recommenders.

Item-based top-N recommendation algorithms
Mukund Deshpande,George Karypis +1 more
TL;DR: This article presents one class of model-based recommendation algorithms that first determines the similarities between the various items and then uses them to identify the set of items to be recommended, and shows that these item-based algorithms are up to two orders of magnitude faster than the traditional user-neighborhood based recommender systems and provide recommendations with comparable or better quality.
