Two of the most popular approaches are based on matrix factorization (MF) and Markov chains (MC). MF methods learn the general taste of a user by factorizing the matrix over observed user-item preferences. On the other hand, MC methods model sequential behavior by learning a transition graph over items that is used to predict the next action based on the recent actions of a user. In this paper, we present a method bringing both approaches together. Our method is based on personalized transition graphs over underlying Markov chains. That means for each user an own transition matrix is learned - thus in total the method uses a transition cube. As the observations for estimating the transitions are usually very limited, our method factorizes the transition cube with a pairwise interaction model which is a special case of the Tucker Decomposition. We show that our factorized personalized MC (FPMC) model subsumes both a common Markov chain and the normal matrix factorization model. For learning the model parameters, we introduce an adaption of the Bayesian Personalized Ranking (BPR) framework for sequential basket data. Empirically, we show that our FPMC model outperforms both the common matrix factorization and the unpersonalized MC model both learned with and without factorization.}, acmid = {1772773}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Rendle, Steffen and Freudenthaler, Christoph and Lars, Schmidt-Thieme}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 19th international conference on World wide web}, doi = {10.1145/1772690.1772773}, interhash = {578c4d7bb47620c5b943d9533ae2ae5f}, intrahash = {a806788d8f8f9259624a853551e40c30}, isbn = {978-1-60558-799-8}, location = {Raleigh, North Carolina, USA}, numpages = {10}, pages = {811--820}, publisher = {ACM}, series = {WWW '10}, title = {Factorizing personalized Markov chains for next-basket recommendation}, url = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1772690.1772773}, year = 2010 } @incollection{marinho2011social, abstract = {The new generation of Web applications known as (STS) is successfully established and poised for continued growth.

In this paper we propose to address this concern by devising a method that automatically enriches a folksonomy with domain expert knowledge and by introducing a novel algorithm based on frequent itemset mining techniques to efficiently learn an ontology over the enriched folksonomy.

Tags are used for navigation, finding resources and serendipitous browsing and thus provide an immediate benefit for users. These systems usually include tag recommendation mechanisms easing the process of finding good tags for a resource, but also consolidating the tag vocabulary across users. In practice, however, only very basic recommendation strategies are applied. In this paper we evaluate and compare several recommendation algorithms on large-scale real life datasets: an adaptation of user-based collaborative filtering, a graph-based recommender built on top of the FolkRank algorithm, and simple methods based on counting tag occurences. We show that both FolkRank and Collaborative Filtering provide better results than non-personalized baseline methods. Moreover, since methods based on counting tag occurrences are computationally cheap, and thus usually preferable for real time scenarios, we discuss simple approaches for improving the performance of such methods. We show, how a simple recommender based on counting tags from users and resources can perform almost as good as the best recommender. }, address = {Amsterdam}, author = {Jäschke, Robert and Marinho, Leandro and Hotho, Andreas and Schmidt-Thieme, Lars and Stumme, Gerd}, doi = {10.3233/AIC-2008-0438}, editor = {Giunchiglia, Enrico}, interhash = {b2f1aba6829affc85d852ea93a8e39f7}, intrahash = {955bcf14f3272ba6eaf3dadbef6c0b10}, issn = {0921-7126}, journal = {AI Communications}, month = dec, number = 4, pages = {231--247}, publisher = {IOS Press}, title = {Tag Recommendations in Social Bookmarking Systems}, url = {http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/pub/pdf/jaeschke2008tag.pdf}, vgwort = {63}, volume = 21, year = 2008 } @incollection{reference/rsh/MarinhoNSJHSS11, author = {Marinho, Leandro Balby and Nanopoulos, Alexandros and Schmidt-Thieme, Lars and Jäschke, Robert and Hotho, Andreas and Stumme, Gerd and Symeonidis, Panagiotis}, booktitle = {Recommender Systems Handbook}, crossref = {reference/rsh/2011}, editor = {Ricci, Francesco and Rokach, Lior and Shapira, Bracha and Kantor, Paul B.}, ee = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-85820-3_19}, interhash = {2d4afa6f7fb103ccc166c9c5d629cdd1}, intrahash = {8a520671b6ced7c4b81b1cd18274e0ee}, isbn = {978-0-387-85819-7}, pages = {615-644}, publisher = {Springer}, title = {Social Tagging Recommender Systems.}, url = {http://dblp.uni-trier.de/db/reference/rsh/rsh2011.html#MarinhoNSJHSS11}, year = 2011 } @inproceedings{marinho:ecml2009, abstract = {This paper describes our approach to the ECML/PKDD Discovery Challenge 2009.
