Supercharging Recommender Systems using Taxonomies for Learning User Purchase Behavior
Summary: Proposes taxonomy-based latent factor model (TF): fuses taxonomies with factors to tackle sparsity and cold-start. Scalable training and taxonomy-guided inference via parallel cores; order Markov chains for temporal dynamics, delivering faster, more accurate recommendations.
