TLDR
Item2vec as mentioned in this paper is an item-based collaborative filtering method based on skip-gram with negative sampling (SGNS) that produces embedding for items in a latent space.Abstract:
Many Collaborative Filtering (CF) algorithms are item-based in the sense that they analyze item-item relations in order to produce item similarities. Recently, several works in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) suggested to learn a latent representation of words using neural embedding algorithms. Among them, the Skip-gram with Negative Sampling (SGNS), also known as word2vec, was shown to provide state-of-the-art results on various linguistics tasks. In this paper, we show that item-based CF can be cast in the same framework of neural word embedding. Inspired by SGNS, we describe a method we name item2vec for item-based CF that produces embedding for items in a latent space. The method is capable of inferring item-item relations even when user information is not available. We present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the item2vec method and show it is competitive with SVD.read more

IRGAN: A Minimax Game for Unifying Generative and Discriminative Information Retrieval Models
TL;DR: A unified framework takes advantage of both schools of thinking in information retrieval modelling and shows that the generative model learns to fit the relevance distribution over documents via the signals from the discriminative model to achieve a better estimation for document ranking.

Scalable Graph Embedding for Asymmetric Proximity
TL;DR: This paper proposes an asymmetric proximity preserving (APP) graph embedding method via random walk with restart, which captures both asymmetric and high-order similarities between node pairs, and gives theoretical analysis that this method implicitly preserves the Rooted PageRank score for any two vertices.

Visualizing Data using t-SNE
TL;DR: A new technique called t-SNE that visualizes high-dimensional data by giving each datapoint a location in a two or three-dimensional map, a variation of Stochastic Neighbor Embedding that is much easier to optimize, and produces significantly better visualizations by reducing the tendency to crowd points together in the center of the map.

Item-based collaborative filtering recommendation algorithms
TL;DR: This paper analyzes item-based collaborative ltering techniques and suggests that item- based algorithms provide dramatically better performance than user-based algorithms, while at the same time providing better quality than the best available userbased algorithms.
