Abstract

Recommendation systems play a crucial role in helping college students find job opportunities. However, the sparsity of interactions in employment recommendation for college students poses a challenge for models based on historical user preferences. To address this issue, we propose a novel model called Ensemble Learning based Employment Recommendation under Interaction Sparsity for College Students (EERIS). The model comprises two components: a similarity information component that uses pooled users to determine the nearest neighbor in user similarity measurement, and a global interaction component that uses interaction vectors of user groups to enhance interactions. To evaluate the missing interactions, we propose a loss function called CellLoss. These components are combined based on ensemble learning to improve the model’s generalization and scalability. Our experiments on two real-world datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the EERIS model. Ablation experiments further confirm that each component positively contributes to the model’s performance. Additionally, we design a revised metric for better model testing. Overall, the proposed EERIS model effectively addresses the interaction sparsity in employment recommendation for college students and provides satisfactory recommendations to students.
