Denoising Implicit Feedback for Cold-start Recommendation

Gaode Chen, Shicheng Wang, Shikun Li +8

Implicit feedback is widely used in recommender systems due to its accessibility and generality, yet it usually presents noisy samples (e.g., clickbait, position bias). Meanwhile,…

A Unified Framework for Cross-Domain Recommendation

Jiangxia Cao, Shen Wang, Gaode Chen +4

In addressing the persistent challenges of data-sparsity and cold-start issues in domain-expert recommender systems, Cross-Domain Recommendation (CDR) emerges as a promising method…

Prompt Tuning for Item Cold-start Recommendation

Yuezihan Jiang, Gaode Chen, Wenhan Zhang +6

The item cold-start problem is crucial for online recommender systems, as the success of the cold-start phase determines whether items can transition into popular ones. Prompt lear…
