• Title: Learning Complex Users' Preferences for Recommender Systems
• Authors: Shahpar Yakhchi
• Abstract summary: This thesis focuses on improving the performance of general RSs. Most of the existing general RSs tend to exploit the users' rating patterns on common items to detect similar users. We propose a personality-based RS in which similar users are identified based on the similarity of their personality traits.

• Abstract: Recommender systems (RSs) have emerged as very useful tools to help customers with their decision-making process, find items of their interest, and alleviate the information overload problem. There are two different lines of approaches in RSs: (1) general recommenders with the main goal of discovering long-term users' preferences, and (2) sequential recommenders with the main focus of capturing short-term users' preferences in a session of user-item interaction (here, a session refers to a record of purchasing multiple items in one shopping event). While considering short-term users' preferences may satisfy their current needs and interests, long-term users' preferences provide users with the items that they may interact with, eventually. In this thesis, we first focus on improving the performance of general RSs. Most of the existing general RSs tend to exploit the users' rating patterns on common items to detect similar users. The data sparsity problem (i.e. the lack of available information) is one of the major challenges for the current general RSs, and they may fail to have any recommendations when there are no common items of interest among users. We call this problem data sparsity with no feedback on common items (DSW-n-FCI). To overcome this problem, we propose a personality-based RS in which similar users are identified based on the similarity of their personality traits.

  In real-world systems, most users interact with only a handful of items, while the majority of items are seldom consumed. These two issues, known as the long-tail user and long-tail item challenges, often pose difficulties for existing Sequential Recommendation systems. We propose the Large Language Models Enhancement framework for Sequential Recommendation (LLM-ESR) to address these challenges.

  Conversational recommender systems (CRS) aim to provide the recommendation service via natural language conversations. Existing CRS datasets suffer from the long-tail issue, ie a large proportion of items are rarely (or even never) mentioned in the conversations. This paper presents textbfLOT-CRS, a novel framework that focuses on simulating and utilizing a balanced CRS dataset.

  We propose a User-Centric Conversational Recommendation (UCCR) model, which returns to the essence of user preference learning in CRS tasks. A multi-view preference mapper is conducted to learn the intrinsic correlations among different views in current and historical sessions. The learned multi-aspect multi-view user preferences are then used for the recommendation and dialogue generation.
