Recommendation System Checklist

https://ift.tt/SfGTlJu



Notes of "36 strokes of recommended system"

Basic

When to use?

$\frac{N_{connection}}{N_{user} \times N_{item}}$

Stage

  1. mining
  2. recall
  3. ranking

Forecast

  • score
    • collect data
    • quality of score
    • unstable of score
  • action
    • Click Through Rate(CTR)
    • dense of data
    • implicit feedback

Problem

  • cold start
  • exploit and explore
  • secure

User profile

  • Vectorization
  • based on records, statistics, balck box models
  • Feature
    • TF-IDF, TextRank
    • Named Entity Recognition (based on dictionary and conditional random field)
    • Text classification
    • Clustering
    • Topic model
    • Embedding
  • Select labels
    • Chi-square test(CHI)
    • Information gain(GI)

Models

Content-based

  • friendly to new items and new users(cold start)
  • easy to get data
    • grab (use crawler)
    • clean data
    • data mining
    • compute
  • Algorithm

Collaborative filtering

  • Memory-based
    • User-based
      • sample to reduce vector dimension(DIMSUM)
      • Map-Reduce to get user2user similarity, or use (KGraph, GraphCHI)
      • punish hot items
      • attenuate with time
      • cons
        • too many users to calculate
        • too sparse to get real similar users(hot items)
    • Item-based
      • normalization for users and items
      • Slope one(consider confidence)
    • cons: sparse => vibrate to small correlations
  • Model-based
    • Singular Vector Decomposition(SVD): $$min_{q^,p^}\Sigma_{(u,i)\in \kappa}(r_{ui}-p_u q_i^T)^2+\lambda(\lVert q_i\rVert ^2+\lVert p_u\rVert ^2)$$
    • add bias: $$\hat{r}{ui}=\mu + b_i + b_u + p_u q_i^T$ , $min{q^,p^}\Sigma_{(u,i)\in \kappa}(r_{ui}-\mu -b_i - b_u -p_u q_i^T)^2+\lambda(\lVert q_i\rVert ^2+\lVert p_u\rVert ^2+b_i^2+b_u^2)$$
    • SVD++(add implicit feedback & user attribute): $$\hat{r}{ui}=\mu + b_i + b_u + (p_u+\lvert N(u) \rvert ^{-0.5}\Sigma{i\in N(u)}x_i+\Sigma_{a\in Au}y_a)q_i^T$$
    • consider about time
      • weight
      • time scope
      • special date
    • cons:
      • ranking is what we want, not vectors
      • negative sampling is still a problem

Similarity

  • Euclidean distance: $d(p, q)=\sqrt{\Sigma_{i=1}^n(q_i-p_i)^2}$

  • Cosine similarity: $cos(\theta)=\frac{A\cdot B}{\lVert A\rVert \lVert B\rVert}$

    • adjust: $sim(i,j)=\frac{\Sigma_{u\in U}(R_{u,i}-\bar{R_u})(R_{u,j}-\bar{R_u})}{\sqrt{\Sigma_{u \in U}(R_{u,i}-\bar{R_u})^2}\sqrt{\Sigma_{u \in U}(R_{u,j}-\bar{R_u})^2}}$

  • Pearson correlation: $\rho_{X,Y}=\frac{\Sigma^n_{i=1}(x_i-\bar{x})(y_i-\bar{y})}{\sqrt{\Sigma^n_{i=1}(x_i-\bar{x})^2}\sqrt{\Sigma^n_{i=1}(y_i-\bar{y})^2}}$

  • Jaccard index: $J(A, B)=\frac{A\bigcap B}{A\bigcup B}$

Optimization

  • Stochastic Gradient Descent(SGD)
  • Alternative Least Square(ALS): $R_{m\times n}=P_{m\times k}\times Q^T_{n\times k}$
    • easy to parallelize
    • fast than SGD in not too sparse data
    • Weighted-ALS: one-class $$min_{q^,p^}\Sigma_{(u,i)\in \kappa}c_{ui}(r_{ui}-p_uq_i^T)^2+\lambda(\lVert q_i\rVert ^2+\lVert p_u\rVert ^2)$$ where $c_{ui}=1+\alpha n$ stands for confidence and $\alpha=40$ , $n$ is frequence.
      • sample in hot items (negative sampling)
    • Tools to search similar items: Faiss(ball tree), Annoy, NMSlib, KGraph

Ranking

  • methods: point-wise, pair-wise, list-wise
  • Bayes Personalized Recommendation(BPR)
    • sample: (user, item1, item2, True/False)
    • $\Pi_{u,i,j}p(i>_uj\mid \theta)p(\theta)$
    • Mini-batch Stochastic Gradient Descent(MSGD)
  • Area Under Curve(AUC): $AUC=\frac{\Sigma_{i\in samples}r_i-\frac{1}{2}M\times (M-1)}{M\times N}$

    • $\Sigma_{i=1}^n\Sigma_{j=i+1}^n<v_i,v_j>x_ix_j$ = $\frac{1}{2}\Sigma_{f=1}^k((\Sigma_{i=1}^nv_{i,f}x_i)^2-\Sigma_{i=1}^nv_{i,f}^2x_i^2)$
  • Field-aware Factorization Machine(FFM)
