Abstract
The centralized gathering and processing of user information made by traditional recommender systems can lead to user information exposure, violating her privacy. Client-side personalization methods have been created as a mean for avoiding privacy risks. Motivated by limiting the exposure of user private information, we explore the use of a client-side hybrid recommender system placed on the online learning setting. We propose a prediction model based on an ensemble blender of an online matrix factorization CF model and a logistic regression model trained on item metadata with a probabilistic feature inclusion strategy. The final prediction is a blend of the two models on a weighted regret approach. We validate our approach with the Movielens 10M dataset.
