融合用户与群体行为动态,提升推荐准确性

GrIT: Group Informed Transformer for Sequential Recommendation

  • 引入可变的群体归属权重,捕捉用户随时间变化的群体特征
  • 在5个数据集上超越现有方法,显著提升推荐精度
  • 适合需要理解群体趋势的个性化推荐场景

序列推荐系统通过分析用户的行为历史提取时间模式,以预测其未来兴趣。现有方法多采用基于Transformer的架构处理长序列交互,通过建模项目间的时间关系捕捉偏好变化,但常忽略相似用户集体行为所体现的群体特征。本文提出假设:显式建模随时间演化的群体特征与个体历史协同,能显著提升下一物品推荐效果。方法引入隐含群体表示,通过可学习的时间动态隶属权重刻画用户对各群体的归属。这些权重基于用户交互历史建模短期与长期偏好变化,结合统计特征经变换生成漂移感知的隶属权重。群体表示由加权的隐含群体嵌入得到,并融入Transformer块中,与用户序列表示联合捕捉个人与群体层面的时间动态,生成更丰富的嵌入以实现更准确、上下文感知的推荐。在五个基准数据集上的大量实验表明,该方法持续优于当前最优的序列推荐方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Sequential recommender systems aim to predict a user's future interests by extracting temporal patterns from their behavioral history. Existing approaches typically employ transformer-based architectures to process long sequences of user interactions, capturing preference shifts by modeling temporal relationships between items. However, these methods often overlook the influence of group-level features that capture the collective behavior of similar users. We hypothesize that explicitly modeling temporally evolving group features alongside individual user histories can significantly enhance next-item recommendation. Our approach introduces latent group representations, where each user's affiliation to these groups is modeled through learnable, time-varying membership weights. The membership weights at each timestep are computed by modeling shifts in user preferences through their interaction history, where we incorporate both short-term and long-term user preferences. We extract a set of statistical features that capture the dynamics of user behavior and further refine them through a series of transformations to produce the final drift-aware membership weights. A group-based representation is derived by weighting latent group embeddings with the learned membership scores. This representation is integrated with the user's sequential representation within the transformer block to jointly capture personal and group-level temporal dynamics, producing richer embeddings that lead to more accurate, context-aware recommendations. We validate the effectiveness of our approach through extensive experiments on five benchmark datasets, where it consistently outperforms state-of-the-art sequential recommendation methods.
