Abstract

In a recommendation system, user preference patterns and the preference dynamic effect are observed in the user Ă—item rating matrix. However, their value has barely been exploited in previous research. In this paper, we formalize the preference pattern as a sparse matrix and propose a Preference Pattern Subspace to iteratively model the personal and the global preference patterns with an EM-like algorithm. Furthermore, we propose a PrepSVD-I algorithm by transforming the Top-N recommendation as a pairwise preference learning process. Experiment results show that the proposed PrepSVD-I algorithm significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art Top-N recommendation algorithms.
