Abstract

Recommender systems can help to relieve the dilemma called information overload. Collaborative filtering is a primary approach based on collective historical ratings to recommend items to users. One of the most competitive collaborative filtering algorithm is matrix factorization. In this paper, we proposed an alternative method. It aims to make users be spatially close to items they like and be far away from items they dislike, by connecting matrix factorization and distance metric learning. The metric and latent factors are trained simultaneously and then used to generate reliable recommendations. The experiments conducted on the real-world datasets have shown that, compared with methods only based on factorization, our method has advantage in terms of accuracy.
