用动态语义构建身份,对抗流行度偏差,提升多模态推荐效果
Modality-Aware Identity Construction and Counterfactual Structure Learning for ID-Free Multimodal Recommendation

- 基于多模态语义动态生成非ID身份表示
- 通过反事实结构学习挖掘低曝光语义关联,提升长尾推荐
- 在5个亚马逊数据集上显著优于基线模型
多模态推荐通过融合异构模态信息缓解数据稀疏性并提升推荐精度。现有方法尝试用多模态特征替代用户/物品ID嵌入,取得一定进展,但仍存在两个问题:(1) 重建的ID表示相对静态,未能充分挖掘多模态语义;(2) 图结构学习难以挖掘潜在的长尾语义关系,且易受流行度偏差影响。为此,本文提出一种新方法MAIL(Modality-Aware Identity Construction and Counterfactual Structure Learning),设计模态感知的身份构建模块,动态调制位置编码以生成内容感知的无ID身份表示;提出反事实结构学习范式,通过流行度惩罚挖掘低曝光语义邻居,缓解流行度偏差。在五个公开亚马逊数据集上进行大量实验,结果表明,相比基线模型,MAIL在Recall@10上平均提升7.81%,在NDCG@10上平均提升12.81%。代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Multimodal recommendation has attracted extensive attention by leveraging heterogeneous modality information to alleviate data sparsity and improve recommendation accuracy. Existing methods have attempted to replace ID embeddings with multimodal features and have achieved promising preliminary results. However, these methods still exhibit the following two limitations: (1) the reconstructed ID representations remain relatively static and fail to fully exploit multimodal semantics; and (2) the graph learning process is insufficient in mining latent long-tail semantic relations and is easily affected by popularity bias. To address these issues, we propose a novel method named Modality-Aware Identity Construction and Counterfactual Structure Learning for ID-free Multimodal Recommendation (MAIL). Specifically, we design a modality-aware identity construction module that dynamically modulates positional encodings with multimodal semantics to construct content-aware ID-free identity representations. Then, we propose a counterfactual structure learning paradigm that mines low-exposure semantic neighbors via popularity penalization and alleviates popularity bias. Extensive experiments are conducted on five public Amazon datasets. Experimental results show that MAIL achieves average improvements of 7.81% in Recall@10 and 12.81% in NDCG@10 compared with the baseline models.
