Abstract

Recommending groups or communities to users can greatly improve the browsing experience in online photo sharing sites, e.g. Flickr. However, directly applying collaborative filtering techniques to group recommendation will suffer from "cold start" problem since many users do not affiliate to any groups. In this paper, we propose a hybrid recommendation method named Content-boosted Maximum Margin Matrix Factorization (CM3F), which combines collaborative user-group information with user similarity obtained from their uploaded images. Therefore, CM3F not only inherits the advantages of the state-of-the-art Maximum Margin Matrix Factorization (MMMF) method, but also owns the merits of the content-based graph regularization. The experiments conducted on our crawled dataset with 2196 users, 985 groups and 334467 images from Flickr demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.
