Abstract

Matrix Approximation (MA) is a powerful technique in recommendation systems. There are two main problems in the prevalent MA framework. First, the latent factor is out of explanation and hampers the understanding of the reasons behind recommendations. Besides, traditional MA methods produce user/item factors globally, which fails to capture the idiosyncrasies of users/items. In this paper, we propose a model called Boosted Local rank-One Matrix Approximation (BLOMA). The core idea is to locally and sequentially approximate the residual matrix (which represents the unexplained part obtained from the previous stage) by rank-one sub-matrix factorization. The result factors are distinct and explainable by leveraging social networks and item attributes.
