用二阶动力系统建模用户偏好演化,捕捉惯性与突发变化。
Hamiltonian Spectral-Temporal Dissipative Dynamics for Sequential Recommendation

- 将用户偏好看作位置与动量的哈密顿系统,模拟长期趋势与短期波动。
- 在三个数据集上超越SOTA模型,尤其在稀疏日志中表现更优。
- 适合研究用户行为动态、需建模复杂演化规律的推荐场景。
顺序推荐需要理解用户偏好的时间演化,但现有模型多将其视为一阶过程,即下一状态仅依赖当前隐状态。然而真实用户行为常表现出惯性、周期性和突变等复杂特征,难以被一阶假设完全捕捉。受此启发,本文从二阶动力系统视角重构顺序推荐,提出哈密顿谱推荐器(HSR),将偏好演化建模为隐空间中位置(稳定偏好)与动量(短期倾向)的耗散哈密顿系统。其线性时不变的控制方程在频域具有闭式解。可学习的耗散机制刻画自然兴趣衰减,局部脉冲精修模块则建模稀疏交互日志中常见的突发行为波动。该设计同时涵盖全局周期模式、惯性演化与局部冲击,三种现象在现有模型中均未充分建模。在三个基准数据集上的大量实验表明,HSR持续优于基于Transformer和状态空间模型(SSM)的先进推荐系统。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Sequential recommendation requires understanding how user preferences evolve over time, yet most existing models treat such evolution as a first order process where the next state depends solely on the current latent representation. Nevertheless, real user behavior often exhibits richer dynamics, including inertia, periodicity, and sudden shifts that cannot be fully captured by these first order assumptions. Motivated by these behavioral characteristics, we reconceptualize sequential recommendation through the lens of second order dynamical systems and introduce the Hamiltonian Spectral Recommender (HSR), which recasts preference evolution as a dissipative Hamiltonian system in a latent phase space of position (stable preference) and momentum (short-term tendency). The linear time-invariant structure of the governing equation admits a closed-form solution in the frequency domain. A learnable dissipation mechanism further captures natural interest decay, while a short local impulse refinement module models abrupt behavioral fluctuations commonly observed in sparse interaction logs. This design jointly accounts for global periodic patterns, inertial evolution, and localized shocks, where three phenomena that are underrepresented in existing sequential models. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that HSR consistently outperforms state-of-the-art Transformer-based and state space model (SSM)-based recommenders.
