用状态空间模型建模用户兴趣演化,更好处理时间间隔不规则的推荐问题。

SS4Rec: Continuous-Time Sequential Recommendation with State Space Models

  • 引入时序感知与关系感知双通道状态空间模型,融合时间与序列信息。
  • 在五个基准数据集上显著优于现有方法,尤其在长序列和稀疏场景表现突出。
  • 适合需要高时效性推荐的场景,如实时新闻、电商即时推荐。

序列推荐是推荐系统中的关键方向,旨在基于用户历史交互序列及其不规则时间间隔来建模用户兴趣。尽管基于循环神经网络和注意力机制的方法已取得显著进展,但其离散特性限制了对系统连续性的捕捉。在连续时间建模背景下,状态空间模型(SSM)具有潜力,可有效捕捉用户兴趣随时间的动态演变。然而,现有基于SSM的方法忽略了历史交互中不规则时间间隔的影响,难以建模序列中复杂的用户-物品转移。为此,我们提出一种混合式SSM模型SS4Rec,用于连续时间序列推荐。该模型结合时序感知的SSM以处理不规则时间间隔,并引入关系感知的SSM以建模上下文依赖,从而从时间和序列双重角度推断用户兴趣。训练过程中,时序感知模块根据用户交互的时间间隔采用可变步长离散化,关系感知模块则依据输入数据进行离散化,以捕捉来自不规则时间间隔的连续依赖,实现时间敏感的个性化推荐。在五个基准数据集上的实验表明,SS4Rec具备优越性和有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Sequential recommendation is a key area in the field of recommendation systems aiming to model user interest based on historical interaction sequences with irregular intervals. While previous recurrent neural network-based and attention-based approaches have achieved significant results, they have limitations in capturing system continuity due to the discrete characteristics. In the context of continuous-time modeling, state space model (SSM) offers a potential solution, as it can effectively capture the dynamic evolution of user interest over time. However, existing SSM-based approaches ignore the impact of irregular time intervals within historical user interactions, making it difficult to model complexed user-item transitions in sequences. To address this issue, we propose a hybrid SSM-based model called SS4Rec for continuous-time sequential recommendation. SS4Rec integrates a time-aware SSM to handle irregular time intervals and a relation-aware SSM to model contextual dependencies, enabling it to infer user interest from both temporal and sequential perspectives. In the training process, the time-aware SSM and the relation-aware SSM are discretized by variable stepsizes according to user interaction time intervals and input data, respectively. This helps capture the continuous dependency from irregular time intervals and provides time-specific personalized recommendations. Experimental studies on five benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of SS4Rec.
