Title
Unified YouTube Video Recommendation via Cross-network Collaboration
Abstract
The ever growing number of videos on YouTube makes recommendation an important way to help users explore interesting videos. Similar to general recommender systems, YouTube video recommendation suffers from typical problems like new user, cold-start, data sparsity, etc. In this paper, we propose a unified YouTube video recommendation solution via cross-network collaboration: users' auxiliary information on Twitter are exploited to address the typical problems in single network-based recommendation solutions. The proposed two-stage solution first transfers user preferences from auxiliary network by learning cross-network behavior correlations, and then integrates the transferred preferences with the observed behaviors on target network in an adaptive fashion. Experimental results show that the proposed cross-network collaborative solution achieves superior performance not only in term of accuracy, but also in improving the diversity and novelty of the recommended videos.
