摘要To quantify user-item preferences, a recommender system (RS) commonly adopts a high-dimensional and sparse (HiDS) matrix. Such a matrix can be represented by a non-negative latent factor analysis model relying on a single latent factor (LF)-dependent, non-negative, and multiplicative update algorithm. However, existing models' representative abilities are limited due to their specialized learning objective. To address this issue, this study proposes an alpha-beta-divergence-generalized model that enjoys fast convergence. Its ideas are three-fold: 1) generalizing its learning objective with alpha -beta -divergence to achieve highly accurate representation of HiDS data; 2) incorporating a generalized momentum method into parameter learning for fast convergence; and 3) implementing self-adaptation of controllable hyperparameters for excellent practicability. Empirical studies on six HiDS matrices from real RSs demonstrate that compared with state-of-the-art LF models, the proposed one achieves significant accuracy and efficiency gain to estimate huge missing data in an HiDS matrix.
