【讲座摘要】

In this paper we develop anovel covariate-guided heterogeneous supervised topic model that uses productcovariates, user ratings and product tags to succinctly characterize productsin terms of latent topics, and specifies consumer preferences via these topics.Recommendation contexts also generate big data problems stemming from datavolume, variety and veracity, as in our setting that includes massive textualand numerical data. We therefore develop a novel stochastic variationalBayesian (SVB) framework to achieve fast, scalable and accurate estimation insuch big data settings, and apply it to a MovieLens dataset of movie ratingsand semantic tags. We show that our model yields interesting insights aboutmovie preferences and predicts much better than a benchmark model that onlyuses product covariates. We showcase how our model can be used for targetingrecommendations to particular users and illustrate its use in generatingpersonalized search rankings of relevant products.
