ABSTRACT
- First, we propose efficient implementations for training
FFMs. - Then we comprehensively analyze FFMs and compare
this approach with competing models. Experiments
show that FFMs are very useful for certain classification
problems. - Finally, we have released a package of FFMs for
public use.
1. INTRODUCTION
Code used for experiments in this paper and the package LIBFFM are respectively available at:

2. POLY2 AND FM
FMs can be better than Poly2 when the data set is sparse
3. FFM
-
In FMs, every feature has only one latent vector to learn the latent effect with any other features, however, in FFMs, each feature has several latent vectors.
-
usually,
