Why not Collaborative Filtering in Dual View? Bridging Sparse and Dense Models

Published in ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS), CCF-A, 2026

This work studies how sparse user-item interaction structures can be effectively integrated with dense recommendation models. The proposed dual-view framework is plug-and-play and improves recommendation performance, with stronger modeling ability for long-tail items.
