Incorporating textual reviews in the learning of latent factors for recommender systems

作者:

Highlights:

• We use textual reviews to support the ratings in the latent factor model.

• A review is interpreted as a description of the user/item and a description of the surrounding elements.

• A latent factor model is proposed to account for both interpretations.

• Reviews are incorporated not only into objective function but also into the initialization.
