Glossary

Collaborative filtering:

Given a ratings matrix R, representing the preferences of users U for items I, recommend to each user a list of items in descending order of their relevance for the user. The relevance scores are estimated based on ratings of similar users.

Ratings matrix:

Assume a set of users U and a set of items I in the recommender system. A user u ∈ U might provide her preference for an item i ∈ I in form of a rating denoted by rating (u, i), which typically takes values in (Adomavicius et al. 2011; Blei et al. 2003). The preferences of users for individual items are represented by a ratings matrix R, where the R u,i entry corresponds to rating (u, i).

Recommendation:

A suggestion or proposal to a user for an item, e.g., book, movie, video, news article, that is potentially interesting for the user.

Recommender system:

A system or engine that produces recommendations by predicting the...
