A Multi-Latent Transition model for evolving preferences in recommender systems

作者:

Highlights:

• We capture user preferences dynamics based on a multi-latent analysis.

• We design a joint objective function and we propose an efficient optimization algorithm.

• We evaluate our method on 2 extended benchmark datasets that span 3 and 4.5 years.

• Our model outperforms baselines for users with stable and dynamic preferences.

• The extended datasets of MovieLens-1M and Last.fm-1K are made publicly available.
