This recommender rates new items based on user actions on this item and thus creates an implicitly learned rating history. This learning makes the implicit rating or scoring personalized. It can be combined in several ways with an explicitly learned rating history to improve overall performance and/or to mitigate the burden for the user, by having him/her rate less items explicitly. | 10-13-2011 |
