A Triple Wing Harmonium Model for Movie Recommendation
Haijun Zhang, Yuzhu Ji, Jingxuan Li, Yunming Ye · IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics · 2015
A new triple wing harmonium (TWH) model that integrates text metadata into a low-dimensional semantic space is proposed for the application of content-based movie recommendation. The text metadata considered here include movie synopsis, actor list, and user comments. We develop a new TWH model projecting these multiple textual features into low-dimensional latent topics with different probability distribution assumptions. A contrastive divergence (CD) algorithm is used for efficient learning and inference. Experimental results suggest that the proposed method performs better than the state-of-the-art algorithms for movie recommendation.
