The traditional recommendation system (RS) can learn the potential personal preferences of users and potential attribute characteristics of items through the rating records between users and items to make recommendations.However, for the new items with no historical rating records,the traditional RS usually suffers from the typical cold start problem. Additional auxiliary information has usually been used in the item cold start recommendation,we further bring temporal dynamics,text and relevance in our models to release item cold start.Two new cold start recommendation models TmTx(Time,Text) and TmTI(Time,Text,Item correlation) proposed to solve the item cold start problem for different cold start scenarios.While well-known methods like TimeSVD++ and CoFactor partially take temporal dynamics,comments,and item correlations into consideration to solve the cold start problem but none of them combines these information together.Two models proposed in this paper fused features such as time,text,and relevance can effectively improve the performance under item cold start.We select the convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract features from item description text which provides the model the ability to deal with cold start items.Both proposed models can effectively improve the performance with item cold start.Experimental results on three real-world data set show that our proposed models lead to significant improvement compared with the baseline methods.

In the era of e-commerce, purchase behavior prediction is one of the most important issues to promote both online companies' sales and the consumers' experience. The previous researches usually use traditional features based on the statistics and temporal dynamics of items. Those features lead to the loss of detailed items' information. In this study, we propose a novel kind of features based on temporally popular items to improve the prediction. Experiments on the real-world dataset have demonstrated the effectiveness and the efficiency of our proposed method. Features based on temporally popular items are compared with traditional features which are associated with statistics, temporal dynamics and collaborative filter of items. We find that temporally popular items are an effective and irreplaceable supplement of traditional features. Our study shed light on the effectiveness of the combination of popularity and temporal dynamics of items which can widely used for a variety of recommendations in e-commerce sites.
