  abstract = {Collaborative and content-based filtering are two paradigms that have been applied in the context of recommender systems and user
  preference prediction. This paper proposes a novel, unified approach that systematically integrates all available training information
  such as past user-item ratings as well as attributes of items or users to learn a prediction
  function. The key ingredient of our method is the design of a suitable kernel or similarity function between user-item pairs that allows
  simultaneous generalization across the user and item dimensions. We propose an on-line algorithm (JRank) that generalizes perceptron
  learning. Experimental results on the EachMovie data set show significant improvements over standard approaches.},
