MEMOIR用时间记忆建模用户偏好变化,对极端漂移用户推荐更准。
MEMOIR: Temporal Behavioral Memory for Recommendation Across the Preference-Drift Spectrum

- 按时间分段生成用户行为记忆,融合当前、演变方向与未来预测
- 在高/低偏好漂移用户上提升排名质量,相对SASRec增益约18%
- 适合关注用户长期偏好演变的推荐系统研究者
我们提出MEMOIR框架,将用户交互历史按时间窗口分割,利用大语言模型为每个时段生成语义行为记忆,并整合当前状态、演变方向与未来预测,形成统一用户表征。在Amazon Reviews 2023的电子产品和服饰珠宝类别上,MEMOIR与最强基线UniSRec在综合NDCG@10上统计无显著差异(0.0643 vs. 0.0641),四项指标各胜两项:MEMOIR领先NDCG@10和MRR,UniSRec领先HR@10和HR@20。消融实验表明,单个组件(保持演变的对比损失、方向一致性项或时间分段)均无法解释其约18%的相对增益(相比ID-based SASRec),四类消融结果在综合NDCG@10上均与全模型相差不超过2%。按复合偏好漂移分数分层测试发现,增益集中在高、低漂移极端用户,此时MEMOIR在排名质量指标上占优;而UniSRec在所有漂移层级均领先体积导向的HR@10/HR@20,并在中等漂移区间胜出排名质量。我们报告这一漂移分层模式,而非近似平局的总分或单一组件,作为MEMOIR最实质且可复现的发现,并将原因留作未来工作开放问题。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We propose MEMOIR, a framework that segments user interaction histories into temporal windows, generates semantic behavioral memory for each period using an LLM, and aggregates current state, evolution direction, and predicted future into a single user representation. On the Electronics and Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry categories of Amazon Reviews 2023, MEMOIR is statistically tied with UniSRec, the strongest baseline, on aggregate NDCG@10 (0.0643 vs. 0.0641), splitting the four reported metrics 2-2: MEMOIR leads NDCG@10 and MRR, UniSRec leads HR@10 and HR@20. An ablation study finds that no single architectural component - the evolution-preserving contrastive loss, its directional-consistency term, or temporal window segmentation itself - individually explains much of MEMOIR's approximately 18% relative gain over ID-based SASRec; all four ablations land within 2% of the full model on aggregate NDCG@10. Stratifying test performance by a composite preference-drift score instead reveals where the gain concentrates: MEMOIR leads on ranking-quality metrics (NDCG@10, MRR) specifically among users at the high- and low-drift extremes of the distribution, while UniSRec leads the volume-oriented HR@10/HR@20 metrics across all drift strata and edges out MEMOIR on ranking quality in the middle band. We report this drift-stratified pattern, rather than the near-tied aggregate numbers or any single ablated component, as MEMOIR's most substantive and reproducible finding, and surface why it holds as an open question for future work.
