Presentation Transcript

  1. Collaborative Filtering • Todor Kalaydjiev • Paul Rosania

  2. What is it? • Recommendation system • Discovers similarities between users • Recommends based on preferences, not content • Growing adoption • Online retailing (e.g. Amazon) • TV programming (e.g. TiVo)

  3. Why use it? • Improves recommendation quality • Overcomes limitations of existing systems • Breadth of recommendations • Limitations on item content • Dependence on dense preference data

  4. Filtering Methods • Mean Values • Pearson Correlations • Singular Value Decomposition

  5. Mean Values • Simple Approach • Weighted average of others’ preferences for an item • Normalize prediction

  6. Pearson Correlations • Find similar users • Weight by level of similarity • Predict based on their prefs

  7. Singular Value Decomposition • Linear Algebra approach • Breaks down items by features • Predicts based on responses to these features

  8. Summary • Advantages over content-based approach • Increased accuracy • Broader applications • Disadvantages • Computationally intensive • Requires intensive user preference tracking • Cannot work without some established rating correlations

  9. Preliminary Results • Mean Values: • Pearson: 0.1705 • SVD: • Vector-Space: • Mean Squared Difference: • Cosine: • Mean User:

  10. Final Results
