Abstract
We study a matrix completion problem where both the ground truth R matrix and the unknown sampling distribution P over observed entries are low-rank matrices, and share a common subspace. We assume that a large amount M of unlabeled data drawn from the sampling distribution P is available, together with a small amount N of labeled data drawn from the same distribution and noisy estimates of the corresponding ground truth entries. This setting is inspired by recommender systems scenarios where the unlabeled data corresponds to ‘implicit feedback’ (consisting in interactions such as purchase, click, etc. ) and the labeled data corresponds to the ‘explicit feedback’, consisting of interactions where the user has given an explicit rating to the item.
