📝 摘要(中文)
将多模态信息整合到序列推荐系统中引起了广泛关注。早期的多模态序列推荐模型主要采用ID主导的推荐方式,将多模态信息作为辅助信息进行融合。然而,这种方法在可转移性和信息干扰方面存在局限性。为此,本文提出了一种创新框架BiVRec,联合训练ID和多模态视图的推荐任务,利用其协同关系提升推荐性能。BiVRec包含三个模块:多尺度兴趣嵌入、视内兴趣分解和视间兴趣学习,最终在五个数据集上实现了最先进的性能,展现出多种实际优势。
🔬 方法详解
问题定义:本文旨在解决多模态序列推荐中信息利用不足和高训练成本的问题。现有方法往往忽视用户ID信息,导致信息利用率低。
核心思路:BiVRec框架通过联合训练用户ID和多模态视图的推荐任务,利用两者的协同关系来提升推荐性能,从而克服信息利用不足的问题。
技术框架:BiVRec由三个主要模块组成:多尺度兴趣嵌入模块用于扩展用户交互序列,视内兴趣分解模块构建结构化兴趣表示,视间兴趣学习模块则学习两种视图之间的协同关系。
关键创新:BiVRec的核心创新在于同时利用用户ID和多模态信息进行推荐,显著提升了信息利用率和推荐效果,与传统方法相比具有本质区别。
关键设计:在多尺度兴趣嵌入中,采用多尺度补丁扩展用户交互序列;在视内兴趣分解中,使用高斯注意力和聚类注意力构建兴趣表示;视间兴趣学习则通过粗粒度和细粒度的相似性学习实现。整体设计注重信息的结构化和协同学习。

BiVRec框架在电商推荐、内容推荐和社交网络等多个领域具有广泛的应用潜力。通过有效整合用户ID和多模态信息,能够提供更精准的个性化推荐,提升用户体验。未来,该方法还可以扩展到其他推荐系统和智能服务中,推动推荐技术的发展。
📄 摘要(原文)
The integration of multimodal information into sequential recommender systems has attracted significant attention in recent research. In the initial stages of multimodal sequential recommendation models, the mainstream paradigm was ID-dominant recommendations, wherein multimodal information was fused as side information. However, due to their limitations in terms of transferability and information intrusion, another paradigm emerged, wherein multimodal features were employed directly for recommendation, enabling recommendation across datasets. Nonetheless, it overlooked user ID information, resulting in low information utilization and high training costs. To this end, we propose an innovative framework, BivRec, that jointly trains the recommendation tasks in both ID and multimodal views, leveraging their synergistic relationship to enhance recommendation performance bidirectionally. To tackle the information heterogeneity issue, we first construct structured user interest representations and then learn the synergistic relationship between them. Specifically, BivRec comprises three modules: Multi-scale Interest Embedding, comprehensively modeling user interests by expanding user interaction sequences with multi-scale patching; Intra-View Interest Decomposition, constructing highly structured interest representations using carefully designed Gaussian attention and Cluster attention; and Cross-View Interest Learning, learning the synergistic relationship between the two recommendation views through coarse-grained overall semantic similarity and fine-grained interest allocation similarity BiVRec achieves state-of-the-art performance on five datasets and showcases various practical advantages.
