Matrix Factorization Methods for Recommender Systems
University essay from Institutionen för datavetenskap
Abstract: This thesis is a comprehensive study of matrix factorization methods used in recommender systems. We study and analyze the existing models, specifically probabilistic models used in conjunction with matrix factorization methods, for recommender systems from a machine learning perspective. We implement two different methods suggested in scientific literature and conduct experiments on the prediction accuracy of the models on the Yahoo! Movies rating dataset.
