通过重加权增强正样本信号,提升冷门用户推荐效果

A Simple yet Effective Negative Sampling Plugin for Constructing Positive Sample Pairs in Implicit Collaborative Filtering

  • 构建用户-物品二分图,用置信度权重生成正样本对
  • 在Yelp上使召回率和准确率分别提升32.11%和22.90%
  • 适合改进各类隐式协同过滤模型,尤其对低活跃用户有效

大多数隐式协同过滤(CF)模型依赖负采样训练,现有方法多关注高质量负样本,却忽视正样本的探索。尽管部分去噪推荐方法可用于隐式CF,但常导致正样本监督稀疏化,且忽略用户活跃度偏差,使不活跃用户学习不足。为此,本文提出一种简单有效的负采样插件PSP-NS,从增强正样本监督信号出发:构建基于全局与局部模式推断交互置信度的用户-物品二分图,通过复制重加权生成正样本对以强化信号,并采用活跃度感知加权策略,有效学习不活跃用户偏好。从边界提升视角提供理论解释,说明为何PSP-NS能提升排序质量(如Precision@k/Recall@k)。在四个真实数据集上进行大量实验验证其优越性,例如在Yelp上,相比最强基线,召回率@30和准确率@30分别提升32.11%和22.90%。PSP-NS可无缝集成于多种隐式CF推荐器或负采样方法中以提升性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Most implicit collaborative filtering (CF) models are trained with negative sampling, where existing work designs sophisticated strategies for high-quality negatives while largely overlooking the exploration of positive samples. Although some denoising recommendation methods can be applied to implicit CF for denoising positive samples, they often sparsify positive supervision. Moreover, these approaches generally overlook user activity bias during training, leading to insufficient learning for inactive users. To address these issues, we propose a simple yet effective negative sampling plugin, PSP-NS, from the perspective of enhancing positive supervision signals. It builds a user-item bipartite graph with edge weights indicating interaction confidence inferred from global and local patterns, generates positive sample pairs via replication-based reweighting to strengthen positive signals, and adopts an activity-aware weighting scheme to effectively learn inactive users' preferences. We provide theoretical insights from a margin-improvement perspective, explaining why PSP-NS tends to improve ranking quality (e.g., Precision@k/Recall@k), and conduct extensive experiments on four real-world datasets to demonstrate its superiority. For instance, PSP-NS boosts Recall@30 and Precision@30 by 32.11% and 22.90% on Yelp over the strongest baselines. PSP-NS can be integrated with various implicit CF recommenders or negative sampling methods to enhance their performance.
