User Invariant Preference Learning for Multi-Behavior Recommendation

  • 用变分自编码器结合不变风险最小化,提取用户内在偏好。
  • 在四个真实数据集上显著优于当前最佳方法。
  • 适合需要处理多行为噪声干扰的推荐系统研究者。

在多行为推荐场景中,分析用户的点击、购买、评分等多样化行为,有助于更全面地理解其兴趣,实现个性化精准推荐。现有方法通常假设不同行为间存在共享的用户偏好,代表用户内在兴趣,并通过融合多行为信息来增强用户表征。然而,这些方法常忽略用户多行为偏好的共性与个性并存现象:某些辅助行为可能引入噪声,干扰目标行为预测。为此,本文提出用户不变偏好学习(UIPL),旨在从多行为交互中捕捉用户内在兴趣(即不变偏好),以减少噪声影响。具体而言,UIPL采用不变风险最小化范式,利用变分自编码器(VAE)提取不变偏好,将标准重构损失替换为不变风险最小化约束;并通过组合多行为数据构建不同环境,提升偏好学习的鲁棒性。最终,利用学习到的不变偏好进行目标行为推荐。在四个真实数据集上的大量实验表明,UIPL显著优于当前最先进方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In multi-behavior recommendation scenarios, analyzing users' diverse behaviors, such as click, purchase, and rating, enables a more comprehensive understanding of their interests, facilitating personalized and accurate recommendations. A fundamental assumption of multi-behavior recommendation methods is the existence of shared user preferences across behaviors, representing users' intrinsic interests. Based on this assumption, existing approaches aim to integrate information from various behaviors to enrich user representations. However, they often overlook the presence of both commonalities and individualities in users' multi-behavior preferences. These individualities reflect distinct aspects of preferences captured by different behaviors, where certain auxiliary behaviors may introduce noise, hindering the prediction of the target behavior. To address this issue, we propose a user invariant preference learning for multi-behavior recommendation (UIPL for short), aiming to capture users' intrinsic interests (referred to as invariant preferences) from multi-behavior interactions to mitigate the introduction of noise. Specifically, UIPL leverages the paradigm of invariant risk minimization to learn invariant preferences. To implement this, we employ a variational autoencoder (VAE) to extract users' invariant preferences, replacing the standard reconstruction loss with an invariant risk minimization constraint. Additionally, we construct distinct environments by combining multi-behavior data to enhance robustness in learning these preferences. Finally, the learned invariant preferences are used to provide recommendations for the target behavior. Extensive experiments on four real-world datasets demonstrate that UIPL significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art methods.
