- Abstract: Session-based recommendation aims to predict user the next action based on
historical behaviors in an anonymous session. For better recommendations, it is
vital to capture user preferences as well as their dynamics. Besides, user
preferences evolve over time dynamically and each preference has its own
evolving track. However, most previous works neglect the evolving trend of
preferences and can be easily disturbed by the effect of preference drifting.
In this paper, we propose a novel Preference Evolution Networks for
session-based Recommendation (PEN4Rec) to model preference evolving process by
a two-stage retrieval from historical contexts. Specifically, the first-stage
process integrates relevant behaviors according to recent items. Then, the
second-stage process models the preference evolving trajectory over time
dynamically and infer rich preferences. The process can strengthen the effect
of relevant sequential behaviors during the preference evolution and weaken the
disturbance from preference drifting. Extensive experiments on three public
datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed model.

We present a novel slow thinking recommendation model, named STREAM-Rec.
Our approach is capable of analyzing historical user behavior, generating a multi-step, deliberative reasoning process, and delivering personalized recommendations.
In particular, we focus on two key challenges: (1) identifying the suitable reasoning patterns in recommender systems, and (2) exploring how to effectively stimulate the reasoning capabilities of traditional recommenders.

Sequential recommender models learn to predict the next items a user is likely to interact with based on his/her interaction history on the platform.
Most sequential recommenders however lack a higher-level understanding of user intents, which often drive user behaviors online.
Intent modeling is thus critical for understanding users and optimizing long-term user experience.

Recommendation [133.8758914874593]
Capturing the dynamics in user preference is crucial to better predict user future behaviors because user preferences often drift over time.
Many existing recommendation algorithms -- including both shallow and deep ones -- often model such dynamics independently.
This paper considers the problem of embedding a user's sequential behavior into the latent space of user preferences.
