The experimental analysis results presented in this paper confirm that the investigated approaches to tensor-based data representation and processing outperform the standard collaborative filtering approach in the ‘cold-start’ personalized recommendation scenario (of very sparse input data). Furthermore, it has been shown that the proposed method is superior to standard tensor-based frameworks such as N-way Random Indexing (NRI) and Higher-Order Singular Value Decomposition (HOSVD) in terms of both the AUROC measure and computation time.
