Keynote: Exploiting Human Trust to Improve Recommender Systems (video)
Prof. Jie Zhang, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

Abstract: Recommender systems based on collaborative filtering suffer from the problems of data sparsity and cold start. Trust-aware recommender systems exploit human trust relationships to improve recommendation performance. In this talk, I will briefly summarize the state-of-the-art methods along this line of research and highlight three representative works from our group. I will also point out several remaining challenges and interesting future directions.
