Abstract

Collaborative Filtering is a very popular method in recommendation systems. In item recommendation tasks, a list of items is recommended to users by ranking, but traditional CF methods do not treat it as a ranking problem for implicit feedback datasets. In this paper, we propose MAP-kNN, an adaptive kNN approach using listwise approach for implicit feedback datasets. The similarity matrix is learned by maximizing the Mean Average Precision, which is a well-known measurement in information retrieval for representing the performance of a list of ranked items. An optimization strategy and a new sampling method are proposed to improve the learning efficiency of MAP-kNN. The complexity of our algorithm over each iteration after optimization is lower than other methods that also use listwise approach. Experimental results on two datasets indicate that our approach outperforms other state of the art recommendation approaches.
