In this paper (The first author is the 1st place winner of the Open HSE Student Research Paper Competition (NIRS) in 2017, Computer Science nomination, with the topic “Extraction of Visual Features for Recommendation of Products”, as alumni of 2017 “Data Science” master program at Computer Science Faculty, HSE, Moscow), we describe a special recommender approach based on features extracted from the clothes’ images. The method of feature extraction relies on pre-trained deep neural network that follows transfer learning on the dataset. Recommendations are generated by the neural network as well. All the experiments are based on the items of category Clothing, Shoes and Jewelry from Amazon product dataset. It is demonstrated that the proposed approach outperforms the baseline collaborative filtering method.
In this paper we show how several similarity measures can be combined for finding similarity between a pair of users for performing Collaborative Filtering in Recommender Systems. Through aggregation of several measures we find super similar and super dissimilar user pairs and assign a different similarity value for these types of pairs. We also introduce another type of similarity relationship which we call medium similar user pairs and use traditional JMSD for assigning similarity values for them. By experimentation with real data we show that our method for finding similarity by aggregation performs better than each of the similarity metrics. Moreover, as we apply all the traditional metrics in the same setting, we can assess their relative performance
This volume contains the papers presented at the ACM RecSys Challenge 2015 workshop held on September 16, 2015, in Vienna, Austria. The challenge offered participants the opportunity to work on a large-scale e-commerce dataset from a big retailer in Europe. Participants tackled the problem of predicting what items a user intends to purchase, if any, given a click sequence performed during an activity session on the e-commerce website. The challenge was launched on November 15, 2014, and ran for seven months, attracting 850 teams from 49 countries which submitted a total of 5,437 solutions. The winners were determined based on the final ranking of the scores at the end of the challenge. However, in order to receive the monetary prize, the participants were required to submit, and have accepted, a paper detailing the applied algorithms, and attend the challenge's workshop. There were 22 submissions, and each submission was reviewed by at least two program committee members. The following table contains a summary of the 12 accepted papers and the corresponding score and rank in the final leaderboard.
Co-authorship networks contain invisible patterns of collaboration among researchers. The process of writing joint paper can depend of different factors, such as friendship, common interests, and policy of university. We show that, having a temporal co-authorship network, it is possible to predict future publications. We solve the problem of recommending collaborators from the point of link prediction using graph embedding, obtained from co-authorship network. We run experiments on data from HSE publications graph and compare it with relevant models.
This volume contains the papers that were presented at the ACM Recommender Systems Challenge Workshop 20181 which was held at ACM RecSys 2018, the 12th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems. The authors of these papers participated in the RecSys Challenge 2018 by designing and implementing recommender system algorithms for automatic music playlist continuation. We received 24 paper submissions, each of which received between two and four reviews from recognized experts in the area of recommender systems, information retrieval, and music. We eventually accepted 16 for presentation in the workshop.
