Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel generative graphical model for collaborative filtering of visual content. The preferences of the ”like-minded” users are modelled in order to predict the relevance of visual documents represented by their visual features. We formulate the problem using a probabilistic latent variable model where user's preferences and items' classes are combined into a unified framework in order to provide an accurate and a generative model that overcomes the new item problem, generally encountered in traditional collaborative filtering systems.
