Considering the fact that for different users, the attributes of an item have different influence on their preference for this item, we design a novel attention mechanism to filter the message passed from an item to a target user by considering the attribute information.

MMGCN: Multi-modal Graph Convolution Network for Personalized Recommendation of Micro-video

1 code implementation ACM International Conference on Multimedia 2019 Yinwei Wei, Xiang Wang, Liqiang Nie, Xiangnan He, Richang Hong, Tat-Seng Chua

Existing works on multimedia recommendation largely exploit multi-modal contents to enrich item representations, while less effort is made to leverage information interchange between users and items to enhance user representations and further capture user's fine-grained preferences on different modalities.

Personalized Hashtag Recommendation for Micro-videos

1 code implementation27 Aug 2019 Yinwei Wei, Zhiyong Cheng, Xuzheng Yu, Zhou Zhao, Lei Zhu, Liqiang Nie

The hashtags, that a user provides to a post (e. g., a micro-video), are the ones which in her mind can well describe the post content where she is interested in.

User Diverse Preference Modeling by Multimodal Attentive Metric Learning

1 code implementation21 Aug 2019 Fan Liu, Zhiyong Cheng, Changchang Sun, Yinglong Wang, Liqiang Nie, Mohan Kankanhalli

To tackle this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel Multimodal Attentive Metric Learning (MAML) method to model user diverse preferences for various items.

Neural Collaborative Filtering

43 code implementations WWW 2017 Xiangnan He, Lizi Liao, Hanwang Zhang, Liqiang Nie, Xia Hu, Tat-Seng Chua

When it comes to model the key factor in collaborative filtering -- the interaction between user and item features, they still resorted to matrix factorization and applied an inner product on the latent features of users and items.

Laplacian-Steered Neural Style Transfer

3 code implementations5 Jul 2017 Shaohua Li, Xinxing Xu, Liqiang Nie, Tat-Seng Chua

However in the traditional optimization objective, low-level features of the content image are absent, and the low-level features of the style image dominate the low-level detail structures of the new image.
