• Resumen

  • User tastes are constantly drifting over time as users are exposed to different types of products. The ability to model the tendency of both user preferences and product attractiveness is vital to the success of recommender systems (RSs). We propose a Bayesian Wishart matrix factorization method to model the temporal dynamics of variations among user preferences and item attractiveness in a novel algorithmic perspective. The proposed method is able to well model and properly control diverse rating behaviors across time frames and related temporal effects within time frames in the tendency of user preferences and item attractiveness. We evaluate the proposed method on two synthetic and three real-world benchmark datasets for RSs. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method significantly outperforms a variety of state-of-the-art methods in RSs.
