Title: Taming Latent Factor Models for Explainability in Recommder Systems

Title: Taming Latent Factor Models for Explainability in Recommder SystemsAbstract:Latent factor models have achieved great success in personalized recommendations, but they are also notoriously difficult to explain. In this talk, I will share our recent effort in integrating regression trees to guide the learning of latent factor models for explainable recommendation. Specifically, we build re...
