A successful recommender system interacts with users and learns their preferences. This is crucial in order to provide accurate recommendations. In this paper, a Weighted Ordered Probit Collaborative Kalman filter is proposed for hotel rating prediction. Since potential changes may occur in hotel services or accommodation conditions, a hotel popularity may be volatile through time. A weighted ordered probit model is introduced to capture this latent trend about each hotel popularity through time. It is demonstrated by experiments that such model of hotel popularity trends reinforces the performance of Collaborative Kalman filter, yielding more accurate potential recommendations.
