Abstract

Latent factor models have been used widely in collaborative filtering based recommender systems. In recent years, deep learning has been successful in solving a wide variety of machine learning problems. Motivated by the success of deep learning, we propose a deeper version of latent factor model. Experiments on benchmark datasets shows that our proposed technique significantly outperforms all state-of-the-art collaborative filtering techniques.
