A Novel Hybrid Deep Multi-Criteria Model for Recommender System

Abstract

Recommender systems are everywhere books, products, movies, and more. Traditional recommender systems typically use a single criterion in the recommendation, while studies have shown that multi-criteria recommending is more accurate. Novel deep learning techniques have produced remarkable achievements in many fields. The use of such techniques in recommendation systems has started to get attention recently, and several models of recommendation have been proposed based on deep learning. However, there is still no work for using deep learning in hybrid multi-criteria recommender systems. In this work, a model for a hybrid deep multi-criteria recommender system was presented. The model mainly includes two major parts: In the first one, the model obtains the user ID, item ID, and the item metadata to be used as input to a deep neural network in order to predict the criteria ratings. In the second part, the obtained ratings act as an input to another deep neural network, where the overall rating is predicted. Our experiments were conducted on a real-world dataset. They demonstrated the superiority of the proposed novel model over the other models in all measures used to evaluate performance. This indicates the successful use of hybrid deep multi-criteria in the recommendation systems.

Analysing the impact of contextual segments on the overall rating in multi-criteria recommender systems

“…Nassar [19] had proposed hybrid deep multi criteria model for recommender system and the deep learning models are the achievable remark in many fields. In this research the model was insisted with two major stages.…”
