[Objective] This paper addresses the issues facing user representation learning due to the sparsity of their ratings, aiming to improve the performance of recommendation algorithm. [Methods] We proposed a neural network-based method to learn the implicit representation of multi-attribute ratings from user groups and individual items. Then, we conducted two group-oriented recommendations by matching their learned representations with preferences as well as calculating the attraction of each item. [Results] We examined our method with TripAdvisor data set and found the accuracy and time performance of the proposed algorithms were better than the typical multi-attribute ones and group ones. Compared to the personalized recommendation algorithm, the accuracies of our algorithms were slightly worse, but their online and offline running time was reduced by more than 30% and 50%, repectively. The recommendation results from user group based algorithm outperformed the item based one. [Limitations] We generated virtual groups based on clustering algorithm and their preferences were aggregated more effecitvely than the real world ones. [Conclusions] The proposed algorithms effectively improve the recommendation results.
