Abstract

In the previous chapters, we discussed three different classes of recommendation methods. Collaborative methods use the ratings of a community of users in order to make recommendations, whereas content-based methods use the ratings of a single user in conjunction with attribute-centric item descriptions to make recommendations.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Both entries were tied on the error rate. The award was given to the former because it was submitted 20 minutes earlier.

  2. 2.

    This is also referred to as a pipelined system [275].

  3. 3.

    It is possible for the unspecified values in duplicate rows to predicted differently, even though this is relatively unusual for most collaborative filtering algorithms.

  4. 4.

    The work in [67] proposes only the first technique for computing the similarity.

  5. 5.

    In the context of the Netflix Prize contest, this was achieved on a special part of the data set, referred to as the probe set. The probe set was not used for building the component ensemble models.
