Personalized recommendation model with multi-level latent features

Abstract

Personalized recommendation has become one of the most effective means to solve information overload, and it is also a hot technology in the research field of massive data mining.However, traditional recommendation algorithms often only use the user’s rating information on the item, and lack a comprehensive consideration of the potential characteristics of the user and the item.The factorization machine, wide neural network, crossover network and deep neural network were combined to extract the shallow latent features, low-order nonlinear latent features, linear cross latent features, and high-order nonlinear latent features of users and items.Thus, a new deep learning personalized recommendation model with multilevel latent features was established.The experimental results on four commonly used data sets show that considering the multi-level potential features of users and items can effectively improve the prediction accuracy of personalized recommendations.Finally, the influence of factors such as the dimensions of the embedding layer and the number of neurons on the prediction performance of the new model was studied.
