多模态图神经网络通过内容特征增强稀疏交互数据已成为推荐标准。但当前架构存在两大瓶颈:结构僵化,依赖静态预计算的相似图,无法适应演化偏好;语义脆弱,噪声模态信号被无差别融合,扭曲协同信号。我们提出MURAL(基于自适应边学习的多模态不确定性感知推荐),将多模态推荐从固定结构增强转向动态拓扑发现。为解决结构僵化,自适应边学习器结合可微检索增强策略与近似最近邻搜索,实现语义自适应且计算可扩展(O(NlogN))的隐式物品关联发现。为应对语义脆弱,不确定性感知融合模块建模异构模态的随机不确定性,动态降低不可靠特征权重,优先高置信信号以抵御跨模态噪声。此外,采用对比教师-学生对齐机制,将模态特异性表示锚定于稳定行为信号,确保优化稳定性且无梯度泄露。在TikTok和Amazon等大规模基准上的实验表明,MURAL显著超越结构与生成类最先进方法,在保持更高精度的同时,通过领域特定模态主导性提供可解释性,并在极端数据污染下表现出强鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Multimodal Graph Neural Networks have become standard for recommendation by augmenting sparse interaction data with content features. Yet current architectures face two bottlenecks: structural rigidity, from a reliance on static precomputed similarity graphs that cannot adapt to evolving preferences; and semantic fragility, where noisy modality signals are indiscriminately fused, distorting the collaborative signal. We propose MURAL (Multimodal Uncertainty-aware Recommendation via Adaptive edge Learning), a unified framework that shifts multimodal recommendation from fixed structural augmentation to dynamic topology discovery. To address structural rigidity, an Adaptive Edge Learner combines a differentiable retrieval-augmented strategy with an approximate nearest neighbor search to discover latent item-item correlations that are both semantically adaptive and computationally scalable (O(NlogN)). To address semantic fragility, an Uncertainty-Aware Fusion module models the aleatoric uncertainty of heterogeneous modalities, dynamically down-weighting unreliable features while prioritizing high-confidence signals as a defense against cross-modal noise. We further employ a contrastive teacher-student alignment that anchors modality-specific representations to stable behavioral signals, ensuring optimization stability without gradient leakage. Experiments on large-scale benchmarks including TikTok and Amazon show that MURAL significantly surpasses both structural and generative state-of-the-art baselines, achieving superior accuracy while offering interpretability through domain-specific modality dominance and robustness under extreme data corruption.
