News Recommendation with Multi-views Emotion Analysis

Abstract

News recommendation aiming to find attractive news for users has been received many attentions in recent years. Existing news recommendation methods mainly focus on modeling user preference based on the interaction behaviors between users and news without the consideration of emotion information in the interaction. However, emotion information also plays an important role in improving the accuracy of news recommendation. In this paper, we propose an emotion analysis method for news recommendation with using multi-views to explore the impact of emotion information during the process of user's decision making. The emotion features extracted by the method are combined with the content features of the news to provide a comprehensive feature representation of the candidate news to improve the performance of recommendation. Experiments on real-world datasets show the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving accuracy of news recommendation.
