针对推荐系统离散特性,提出非对称扩散模型提升个性化推荐效果。

Asymmetric Diffusion Recommendation Model

  • 设计非对称前后扩散过程,模拟真实缺失特征。
  • 在服务阶段通过去噪生成鲁棒表示,提升预测精度。
  • 已在抖音音乐上线,用户活跃天数+0.131%,使用时长+0.166%。

受扩散模型优异表现启发,扩散过程被用于增强推荐系统的表征学习。现有方法多在连续数据空间中采用对称的高斯噪声前向与反向过程,但推荐系统样本处于离散空间,且高斯噪声可能破坏潜在表示中的个性化信息。本文提出新型有效方法——非对称扩散推荐模型(AsymDiffRec),以非对称方式学习前向与反向过程。定义广义前向过程,模拟现实推荐样本中的缺失特征;反向过程在非对称潜在特征空间中进行。为保留潜在表示中的个性化信息,引入面向任务的优化策略。服务阶段将含缺失特征的原始样本视为噪声输入,生成去噪且鲁棒的表示用于最终预测。通过集成基线模型,线上A/B测试显示用户活跃天数提升0.131%,应用使用时长提升0.166%。离线实验亦验证性能提升。AsymDiffRec已在抖音音乐App中部署。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recently, motivated by the outstanding achievements of diffusion models, the diffusion process has been employed to strengthen representation learning in recommendation systems. Most diffusion-based recommendation models typically utilize standard Gaussian noise in symmetric forward and reverse processes in continuous data space. Nevertheless, the samples derived from recommendation systems inhabit a discrete data space, which is fundamentally different from the continuous one. Moreover, Gaussian noise has the potential to corrupt personalized information within latent representations. In this work, we propose a novel and effective method, named Asymmetric Diffusion Recommendation Model (AsymDiffRec), which learns forward and reverse processes in an asymmetric manner. We define a generalized forward process that simulates the missing features in real-world recommendation samples. The reverse process is then performed in an asymmetric latent feature space. To preserve personalized information within the latent representation, a task-oriented optimization strategy is introduced. In the serving stage, the raw sample with missing features is regarded as a noisy input to generate a denoising and robust representation for the final prediction. By equipping base models with AsymDiffRec, we conduct online A/B tests, achieving improvements of +0.131% and +0.166% in terms of users' active days and app usage duration respectively. Additionally, the extended offline experiments also demonstrate improvements. AsymDiffRec has been implemented in the Douyin Music App.
