Abstract

Although at item category structure where categories are independent in a same level has been well studied to enhance recommendation performance, in many real applications, item category is often organized in hierarchies to reect the inherent correlations among categories. In this paper, we propose a novel matrix factorization model by exploiting category hierarchy from the perspectives of users and items for effective recommendation. Specifically, a user (an item) can be inuenced (characterized) by her preferred categories (the categories it belongs to) in the hierarchy. We incorporate how different categories in the hierarchy coinuence a user and an item. Empirical results show the superiority of our approach against other counterparts.
