Two Decades of Recommender Systems at Amazon
@inproceedings{Blake2017TwoDO, title={Two Decades of Recommender Systems at Amazon}, author={M. Brian Blake}, year={2017} }
F or two decades now, 1 Amazon. com has been building a store for every customer. Each person who comes to Amazon.com sees it differently, because it’s individually personalized based on their interests. It’s as if you walked into a store and the shelves started rearranging themselves, with what you might want moving to the front, and what you’re unlikely to be interested in shuffling further away. From a catalog of hundreds of millions of items, Amazon.com’s recommendations pick a small number…

Movie Recommender Systems Made Through Tag Interpolation
- Computer ScienceICMLSC
- 2020
This paper exploits the movie recommender system based on movies' genres and actors/actresses themselves as the input tags, or tag interpolation, for 100K variations of the MovieLens datasets and applies tag-based filtering and collaborative filtering that can effectively predict a list of movies that is similar to the movie that a user has been watched.
Accelerated learning from recommender systems using multi-armed bandit
- Computer ScienceArXiv
- 2019
It is argued that multi armed bandit (MAB) testing as a solution to issues with A/B testing, including long lead time, and high cost of exploration, should be considered.
Improving collaborative recommendation based on item weight link prediction
- Computer ScienceTURKISH JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING & COMPUTER SCIENCES
- 2021
This work focuses only on binary bipartite graphs, whereas admiration can be expressed on a discrete scale where link weighting is involved, and addresses the problem of link prediction in unweighted bipartites networks.
E-Commerce Recommender System Using Product Data

A recommender system is a system that helps to expect and recommend similar products to the given input of the product.
A Semi-Personalized System for User Cold Start Recommendation on Music Streaming Apps
- Computer ScienceKDD
- 2021
This paper presents a semi-personalized recommendation strategy, based on a deep neural network architecture and on a clustering of users from heterogeneous sources of information, recently deployed on the music streaming service Deezer to address the user cold start problem.
Interest Sustainability-Aware Recommender System
- Computer Science2020 IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM)
- 2020
This work proposes a novel recommender system, called CRIS, that considers the change of users' interest in each item over time, and predicts the interest sustainability of each item, that is, how likely each item will be consumed in the future.
Knowledge aggregation in people recommender systems: matching skills to tasks
- Psychology
- 2019
This thesis explores how people’s preferences can be elicited for single-event matchmaking under uncertainty and how to align them with appropriate tasks.
Personalizing Item Recommendation via Price Understanding
- Computer ScienceComplexRec-ImpactRS@RecSys
- 2020
This paper segregate items into price bands indicating how expensive they are, infer user affinity to price bands based on historical behavior and use features derived from this knowledge to re-rank items in a real-world recommendation scenario.
On the Generalizability and Predictability of Recommender Systems
- Computer ScienceArXiv
- 2022
RecZilla is created, a meta-learning approach to recommender systems that uses a model to predict the best algorithm and hyperparameters for new, unseen datasets, and is able to substantially reduce the level of human involvement when faced with a new recommender system application.
DESIGNING A HOLISTIC ADAPTIVE RECOMMENDER SYSTEM (HARS) FOR CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT: A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
- Computer Science
- 2021
A novel Reinforcement Learning-based recommender system that has an integrative view over data and recommendation landscape, as well as it is highly adaptive to changes in customer behavior is proposed, the Holistic Adaptive Recommender System (HARS).

Estimating the Causal Impact of Recommendation Systems from Observational Data
- Computer ScienceEC
- 2015
This paper shows that causal identification through an instrumental variable is possible when a product experiences an instantaneous shock in direct traffic and the products recommended next to it do not, and applies a method for estimating causal effects from purely observational data to browsing logs containing anonymized activity on Amazon.com.
Evaluating collaborative filtering recommender systems
- Computer ScienceTOIS
- 2004
The key decisions in evaluating collaborative filtering recommender systems are reviewed: the user tasks being evaluated, the types of analysis and datasets being used, the ways in which prediction quality is measured, the evaluation of prediction attributes other than quality, and the user-based evaluation of the system as a whole.
Using Collaborative Filtering to Automate Worker-Job Recommendations for Crowdsourcing Services
