Abstract

Although very effective in computing accurate recommendations, due to their inner nature, collaborative algorithms work very well with dense matrices but show their limits when they deal with sparse ones. In these cases, using only past ratings may lead to unsatisfactory results in the recommendation list. In this paper we show how to move from a user-item to a user-feature matrix by exploiting original user ratings. We then use matrix factorization techniques to compute recommendations.
