Abstract
A recommendation system (RS) can help overcome information overload issues by offering personalized predictions for users. Typically, RS considers the overall ratings of users on items to generate recommendations for them. However, users may consider several aspects when evaluating items. Hence, a multi-criteria RS considers n-aspects of items to generate more accurate recommendations than a single-criteria RS. This research paper proposes two deep encoder–decoder models based on shared learning for a multi-criteria RS, multi-modal deep encoder–decoder-based shared learning (MMEDSL) and multi-criteria deep encoder–decoder-based shared learning (MCEDSL). MMEDSL employs the shared learning technique by concentrating on the multi-modality concept in deep learning, while MCEDSL focuses on the training process to apply the shared learning technique. The shared learning captures useful shared information during the learning process since the multi-criteria may have hidden inter-relationships. A set of experiments were conducted to compare the proposed models with recent baseline approaches. The Yahoo! Movies multi-criteria dataset was utilized. The results demonstrate that the proposed models outperform other algorithms. In addition, the results show that integrating the shared learning technique with the RS produces precise recommendation predictions.
