Preventing Overfitting via Sample Reweighting for Recommender System Incremental Update (Student Abstract)

Abstract

Incremental update of recommender system models using only newly arrived data may easily cause the model to overfit to the current data. To address this issue without relying on historical data, we propose a sample reweighting method based on prediction performance of previous model on current data. The proposed method effectively alleviates the problem of overfitting and improves the performance of incremental update.
