Expanded autoencoder recommendation framework and its application in movie recommendation

Automatic recommendation has become a popular research field: it allows the user to discover items that match their tastes. In this paper, we proposed an expanded autoencoder recommendation framework The stacked autoencoders model is employed to extract the feature of input then reconstitution the input to do the recommendation. Then the side information of items and users is blended in the framework and the Huber function based regularization is used to improve the recommendation performance. The proposed recommendation framework is applied on the movie recommendation. Experimental results on a public database in terms of quantitative assessment show significant improvements over conventional methods.
