A novel method for interest level estimation based on tensor completion via feature integration for partially paired users' behavior and videos is presented in this paper. The proposed method defines a novel canonical correlation analysis (CCA) framework that is suitable for interest level estimation, which is a hybrid version of semi-supervised CCA (SemiCCA) and supervised locality preserving CCA (SLPCCA) called semi-supervised locality preserving CCA (S2LPCCA). For partially paired users' behavior and videos in actual shops and on the Internet, new integrated features that maximize the correlation between partially paired samples by the principal component analysis (PCA)-mixed CCA framework are calculated. Then videos that users have not watched can be used for the estimation of users' interest levels. Furthermore, local structures of partially paired samples in the same class are preserved for accurate estimation of interest levels. Tensor completion, which can be applied to three contexts, videos, users and ''canonical features and interest levels,'' is used for estimation of interest levels. Consequently, the proposed method realizes accurate estimation of users' interest levels based on S2LPCCA and the tensor completion from partially paired training features of users' behavior and videos. Experimental results obtained by applying the proposed method to actual data show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
A method for estimating interest levels from behavior features via tensor completion including adaptive similar user selection is presented in this paper. The proposed method focuses on a tensor that is suitable for data containing multiple contexts and constructs a third-order tensor in which three modes are "products", "users" and "user behaviors and interest levels" for these products. By complementing this tensor, unknown interest level estimation of a product for a target user becomes feasible. For further improving the estimation performance, the proposed method adaptively selects similar users for the target user by focusing on converged estimation errors between estimated interest levels and known interest levels in the tensor completion. Furthermore, the proposed method can adaptively estimate the unknown interest from the similar users. This is the main contribution of this paper. Therefore, the influence of users having different interests is reduced, and accurate interest level estimation can be realized. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we show experimental results obtained by estimating interest levels of users holding books.
