仅用隐式反馈,高效同时学习用户与物品嵌入。

Interact2Vec -- An efficient neural network-based model for simultaneously learning users and items embeddings in recommender systems

  • 基于神经网络联合学习用户和物品嵌入,仅需隐式反馈数据。
  • 在30%数据集上达到前二或前三性能,训练速度提升274%。
  • 适合计算资源有限场景,可高效生成高质量嵌入。

过去十年,推荐系统广受欢迎。尽管进展显著,仍面临高维稀疏等挑战。通过神经网络学习用户与物品的低维嵌入已成为主流方案。然而,许多方法依赖复杂架构或内容数据,而这些数据未必可用。本文提出Interact2Vec,一种仅需隐式反馈的新型神经网络模型,可同时学习用户与物品的分布式嵌入。该模型采用自然语言处理中的先进策略优化训练过程并提升嵌入质量。我们进行了两类实验:外在质量方面,在top-N排序任务中与六种其他推荐算法对比,结果在30%的数据集上位列第二或第三,表现竞争力;且平均训练时间比其他嵌入模型减少274%。内在质量方面,通过相似性表格分析发现,其嵌入具备良好语义结构。整体表明,Interact2Vec在资源受限场景下是高效的嵌入生成器。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Over the past decade, recommender systems have experienced a surge in popularity. Despite notable progress, they grapple with challenging issues, such as high data dimensionality and sparseness. Representing users and items as low-dimensional embeddings learned via neural networks has become a leading solution. However, while recent studies show promising results, many approaches rely on complex architectures or require content data, which may not always be available. This paper presents Interact2Vec, a novel neural network-based model that simultaneously learns distributed embeddings for users and items while demanding only implicit feedback. The model employs state-of-the-art strategies that natural language processing models commonly use to optimize the training phase and enhance the final embeddings. Two types of experiments were conducted regarding the extrinsic and intrinsic quality of the model. In the former, we benchmarked the recommendations generated by Interact2Vec's embeddings in a top-$N$ ranking problem, comparing them with six other recommender algorithms. The model achieved the second or third-best results in 30% of the datasets, being competitive with other recommenders, and has proven to be very efficient with an average training time reduction of 274% compared to other embedding-based models. Later, we analyzed the intrinsic quality of the embeddings through similarity tables. Our findings suggest that Interact2Vec can achieve promising results, especially on the extrinsic task, and is an excellent embedding-generator model for scenarios of scarce computing resources, enabling the learning of item and user embeddings simultaneously and efficiently.
