An ensemble method for top-N recommendations from the SVD

作者:

Highlights:

• SVD suffers from computational limitation when delivering top-N items online.

• An ensemble algorithm for getting top-N items from the SVD results is proposed.

• The algorithm maps the items to the leaves of multiple compact trees offline.

• Users are assigned online to one leaf in each tree for obtaining their top-N items.

• The algorithm delivers faster and more accurate top-N items than the base SVD.
