description Although most list-ranking frameworks are based on multilayer perceptrons (MLP), they still face limitations within the method itself in the field of recommender systems in two respects: (1) MLP suffer from overfitting when dealing with sparse vectors. At the same time, the model itself tends to learn in-depth features of user–item interaction behavior but ignores some low-rank and shallow information present in the matrix. (2) Existing ranking methods cannot effectively deal with the problem of ranking between items with the same rating value and the problem of inconsistent independence in reality. We propose a list ranking framework based on linear and non-linear fusion for recommendation from implicit feedback, named RBLF. First, the model uses dense vectors to represent users and items through one-hot encoding and embedding. Second, to jointly learn shallow and deep user–item interaction, we use the interaction grabbing layer to capture the user–item interaction behavior through dense vectors of users and items. Finally, RBLF uses the Bayesian collaborative ranking to better fit the characteristics of implicit feedback. Eventually, the experiments show that the performance of RBLF obtains a significant improvement.
