Cyclic Training of Dual Deep Neural Networks for Discovering User and Item Latent Traits in Recommendation Systems by Dohyoung Rim, Sirojiddin Nuriev, Younggi Hong

“…When evaluated with the MovieLens 100K dataset, CDLD demonstrated superior performance, achieving a root mean square error (RMSE) that was 2.86% lower than that of matrix factorization and 2.51% lower than that of neural collaborative filtering, thus showing strong generalization capabilities. Additionally, CDLD addresses the cold-start problem effectively by adjusting only the new entity’s latent traits during training, while maintaining fixed model weights, even with limited data samples. …”
