TLDR
This work proposes to model the user with a richer set of functions, specifically via a set of latent vectors, where each vector captures one of the user's latent interests or tastes, and describes a simple, general and efficient algorithm for learning such a model.
Abstract
Classical matrix factorization approaches to collaborative filtering learn a latent vector for each user and each item, and recommendations are scored via the similarity between two such vectors, which are of the same dimension In this work, we are motivated by the intuition that a user is a much more complicated entity than any single item, and cannot be well described by the same representation Hence, the variety of a user's interests could be better captured by a more complex representation We propose to model the user with a richer set of functions, specifically via a set of latent vectors, where each vector captures one of the user's latent interests or tastes The overall recommendation model is then nonlinear where the matching score between a user and a given item is the maximum matching score over each of the user's latent interests with respect to the item's latent representation We describe a simple, general and efficient algorithm for learning such a model, and apply it to large scale, real-world datasets from YouTube and Google Music, where our approach outperforms existing techniques

Multi-Interest Network with Dynamic Routing for Recommendation at Tmall

TL;DR: This paper designs a multi-interest extractor layer based on the recently proposed dynamic routing mechanism, which is applicable for modeling and extracting diverse interests from user's behaviors, and proposes a technique named label-aware attention to help the learning process of user representations.

Restricted Boltzmann machines for collaborative filtering

TL;DR: This paper shows how a class of two-layer undirected graphical models, called Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM's), can be used to model tabular data, such as user's ratings of movies, and demonstrates that RBM's can be successfully applied to the Netflix data set.
