ABSTRACT
Multi-criteria recommender systems can improve the quality of recommendations by considering user preferences on multiple criteria. One promising approach proposed recently is multi-criteria ranking, which uses Pareto ranking to assign a ranking score based on the dominance relationship between predicted ratings across criteria. However, applying Pareto ranking to all criteria may result in non-differentiable ranking scores. To alleviate this issue, we conducted a study on three relaxed Pareto ranking methods for multi-criteria ranking. We evaluated these methods on three real-world datasets and found that the k-dominance ranking approach, which is one of the relaxed Pareto ranking methods, was able to further enhance the ranking performance.
