扩散模型在序列推荐中表现出色,因其能有效建模数据分布并生成高质量项目。然而,现有方法将噪声注入下一项目并基于用户交互序列逐步去噪,存在两个关键问题:一是用户序列长度和内容异质性强,受随机行为影响,直接作为引导会削弱模型对用户兴趣的理解;二是扩散模型易受数据偏差影响,倾向于生成训练集中占主导地位的热门项目,难以满足不同用户的个性化需求。为此,本文提出面向扩散模型的差异化量化引导方法(DiQDiff),旨在提取鲁棒的引导信号以理解用户兴趣,并生成具有区分性的个性化项目。为实现鲁棒引导,DiQDiff引入语义向量量化(SVQ),利用码本将序列量化为语义向量(如协同信号和类别偏好),丰富引导信息。为生成差异化项目,采用对比差异最大化(CDM)机制,通过对比损失最大化去噪轨迹间的距离,防止对不同用户产生偏向性生成。在四个常用数据集上进行的大量实验表明,DiQDiff在多个基线模型中表现最优,验证了其在序列推荐任务中的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Diffusion models (DMs) have emerged as promising approaches for sequential recommendation due to their strong ability to model data distributions and generate high-quality items. Existing work typically adds noise to the next item and progressively denoises it guided by the user's interaction sequence, generating items that closely align with user interests. However, we identify two key issues in this paradigm. First, the sequences are often heterogeneous in length and content, exhibiting noise due to stochastic user behaviors. Using such sequences as guidance may hinder DMs from accurately understanding user interests. Second, DMs are prone to data bias and tend to generate only the popular items that dominate the training dataset, thus failing to meet the personalized needs of different users. To address these issues, we propose Distinguished Quantized Guidance for Diffusion-based Sequence Recommendation (DiQDiff), which aims to extract robust guidance to understand user interests and generate distinguished items for personalized user interests within DMs. To extract robust guidance, DiQDiff introduces Semantic Vector Quantization (SVQ) to quantize sequences into semantic vectors (e.g., collaborative signals and category interests) using a codebook, which can enrich the guidance to better understand user interests. To generate distinguished items, DiQDiff personalizes the generation through Contrastive Discrepancy Maximization (CDM), which maximizes the distance between denoising trajectories using contrastive loss to prevent biased generation for different users. Extensive experiments are conducted to compare DiQDiff with multiple baseline models across four widely-used datasets. The superior recommendation performance of DiQDiff against leading approaches demonstrates its effectiveness in sequential recommendation tasks.
