ABSTRACT
The need for solving weighted ridge regression (WRR) problems arises in a number of collaborative filtering (CF) algorithms. Often, there is not enough time to calculate the exact solution of the WRR problem, or it is not required. The conjugate gradient (CG) method is a state-of-the-art approach for the approximate solution of WRR problems. In this paper, we investigate some applications of the CG method for new and existing implicit feedback CF models. We demonstrate through experiments on the Netflix dataset that CG can be an efficient tool for training implicit feedback CF models.

A Similarity Measure for Collaborative Filtering with Implicit Feedback
ICIC '07: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Computing: Advanced Intelligent Computing Theories and Applications. With Aspects of Artificial IntelligenceCollaborative Filtering(CF) is a widely accepted method of creating recommender systems. CF is based on the similarities among users or items. Measures of similarity including the Pearson Correlation Coefficient and the Cosine Similarity work quite well ...
Using Implicit Feedback for Neighbors Selection: Alleviating the Sparsity Problem in Collaborative Recommendation Systems
WebMedia '17: Proceedings of the 23rd Brazillian Symposium on Multimedia and the WebThe most popular Recommender systems (RSs) employ Collaborative Filtering (CF) algorithms where users explicitly rate items. Based on these ratings, a user-item rating matrix is generated and used to select the items to be recommended for a target user. ...
Trust-based collaborative filtering: tackling the cold start problem using regular equivalence
RecSys '18: Proceedings of the 12th ACM Conference on Recommender SystemsUser-based Collaborative Filtering (CF) is one of the most popular approaches to create recommender systems. This approach is based on finding the most relevant k users from whose rating history we can extract items to recommend. CF, however, suffers ...
