PoissonMat: Remodeling Matrix Factorization using Poisson Distribution and Solving the Cold Start Problem without Input Data
Matrix Factorization is one of the most successful recommender system techniques over the past decade. However, the classic probabilistic theory framework for matrix factorization is modeled using normal distributions. To find better probabilistic models, algorithms such as RankMat, ZeroMat and DotMat have been invented in recent years. In this paper, we model the user rating behavior in recommender system as a Poisson process, and design an algorithm that relies on no input data to solve the recommendation problem and the cold start issue at the same time. We prove the superiority of our algorithm in comparison with matrix factorization, random placement, Zipf placement, ZeroMat, DotMat, etc.

Scalable Recommendation with Poisson Factorization
We develop a Bayesian Poisson matrix factorization model for forming recommendations from sparse user behavior data. These data are large user/item matrices where each user has provided feedback on only a small subset of…

We present novel understandings of the Gamma-Poisson (GaP) model, a probabilistic matrix factorization model for count data. We show that GaP can be rewritten free of the score/activation matrix. This gives us new insigh…
