Title: Deep Learning forRecommender Systems

Abstract: Currently, deeplearning techniques have achieved great success in various areas such asmultimedia processing, pattern recognition, and natural language processing. Inrecent two years, some deep learning-based recommendation algorithms have beenproposed and received state-of-the-art results in different recommendationtasks. In this talk, firstly I some deep learning-based algorithms aresummarized. These papers were recently published in KDD, SIGIR, WWW, andRecSys, which utilized different deep learning methods to process multimedia,text and rating scores for recommendations. Then some possible directions inthis field as well as our current work will be introduced.
