The weighted squared loss is a common component in several Collaborative Filtering (CF) algorithms for item recommendation, including the representative implicit Alternating Least Squares (iALS). Despite its widespread use, this loss function lacks a clear connection to ranking objectives such as Discounted Cumulative Gain (DCG), posing a fundamental challenge in explaining the exceptional ranking performance observed in these algorithms. In this work, we make a breakthrough by establishing a connection between squared loss and ranking metrics through a Taylor expansion of the DCG-consistent surrogate loss-softmax loss. We also discover a new surrogate squared loss function, namely Ranking-Generalizable Squared (RG2) loss, and conduct thorough theoretical analyses on the DCG-consistency of the proposed loss function. Later, we present an example of utilizing the RG2 loss with Matrix Factorization (MF), coupled with a generalization upper bound and an ALS optimization algorithm that leverages closed-form solutions over all items. Experimental results over three public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the RG2 loss, exhibiting ranking performance on par with, or even surpassing, the softmax loss while achieving faster convergence.
