Gaussian-Gamma collaborative filtering: A hierarchical Bayesian model for recommender systems

作者:

Highlights:

• The Gamma-Gaussian assumption on the ratings. It is a heavy tail distribution so the model is more robust.

• The Gamma-Gaussian assumption on the latent features. Hence we do not need to specify the regularization term manually.

• The Gibbs sampling of the parameters and the statistical explanation of the updating formulas.
