A dual-perspective latent factor model for group-aware social event recommendation

作者:

Highlights:

• A dual-perspective of group influence on event recommendation is investigated.

• A novel probabilistic latent factor model with pairwise ranking is proposed to model the dual effect of groups.

• The proposed model is flexible to further incorporate additional contextual information including event venue, event popularity, and geographical distance.

• Comprehensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the proposed approach yields substantial improvement over the state-of-the-art baselines on four real-world datasets in both regular and cold-start settings.
