用可学习的增强器生成更真实的序列正样本,提升推荐效果
Learnable Sequence Augmenter for Triplet Contrastive Learning in Sequential Recommendation
- 自监督增强器自动删噪并插入符合转移模式的新物品
- 通过三元组对比损失区分原始、增强与随机增强序列
- 在三个真实数据集上显著优于现有方法,适合追求精度的推荐系统研究
现有基于对比学习的序列推荐方法多依赖随机操作(如截取、重排、替换)生成增强序列,常因删除关键物品或引入噪声项破坏物品关联性,误导对比学习。为此,我们提出面向序列推荐三元组对比学习的可学习序列增强器LACLRec。该自监督增强器能自动剔除噪声物品,并插入更符合物品转移模式的新物品,生成高质量增强序列;随后随机生成另一增强序列,设计基于排序的三元组对比损失,以区分原始序列、增强器生成序列与随机增强序列间的相似性,提供更精细的对比信号。在三个真实数据集上的大量实验表明,序列增强器与三元组对比损失均有助于提升推荐准确率。LACLRec显著优于基线模型CL4SRec,且性能优于多个先进序列推荐算法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Most existing contrastive learning-based sequential recommendation (SR) methods rely on random operations (e.g., crop, reorder, and substitute) to generate augmented sequences. These methods often struggle to create positive sample pairs that closely resemble the representations of the raw sequences, potentially disrupting item correlations by deleting key items or introducing noisy iterac, which misguides the contrastive learning process. To address this limitation, we propose Learnable sequence Augmentor for triplet Contrastive Learning in sequential Recommendation (LACLRec). Specifically, the self-supervised learning-based augmenter can automatically delete noisy items from sequences and insert new items that better capture item transition patterns, generating a higher-quality augmented sequence. Subsequently, we randomly generate another augmented sequence and design a ranking-based triplet contrastive loss to differentiate the similarities between the raw sequence, the augmented sequence from augmenter, and the randomly augmented sequence, providing more fine-grained contrastive signals. Extensive experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate that both the sequence augmenter and the triplet contrast contribute to improving recommendation accuracy. LACLRec significantly outperforms the baseline model CL4SRec, and demonstrates superior performance compared to several state-of-the-art sequential recommendation algorithms.
