GoRec: A Generative Cold-start Recommendation Framework

What is it about?

This is a generative cold-start recommendation method. It leverages a modified variational autoencoder to model a distribution of high-quality collaborative representations and generates representations for new items from this distribution.

Why is it important?

We do away with the framework of designing alignment functions used by most work. This paper proposed a new framework of cold start recommendation, which had better performance and lower time cost.
