Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we applied copulas which can consider complex dependencies among multiple features to the areas of information retrieval (IR) and recommender systems, and showed a method to design transparent and highly effective IR and recommender systems.
More specifically, we considered a mixture copula model which integrates multiple copulas with a linear combination for building effective IR and recommender systems. To estimate a good mixture copula which affects their effectiveness, we indicated that it is appropriate that a density-based clustering algorithm is applied in the copula estimation phase. In addition, we also developed an efficient top-k algorithm for quickly returning relevant results even if the scoring function is non-linear, such as copulas, and non-monotonic. Moreover, as for recommender systems, we showed that effective recommender systems can also be designed with mixture copulas, when preprocessing feature parameters with a statistical approach.
