US Patent 11544767 Recommendation system with implicit feedback

A computing device determines a recommendation. A confidence matrix is computed using a predefined weight value. (A) A first parameter matrix is updated using the confidence matrix, a predefined response matrix, a first step-size parameter value, and a first direction matrix. The predefined response matrix includes a predefined response value by each user to each item and at least one matrix value for which a user has not provided a response to an item. (B) A second parameter matrix is updated using the confidence matrix, the predefined response matrix, a second step-size parameter value, and a second direction matrix. (C) An objective function value is updated based on the first and second parameter matrices. (D) The first and second parameter matrices are trained by repeating (A) through (C). The first and second parameter matrices output for use in predicting a recommended item for a requesting user.
