• Authors: Yang Li, Tong Chen, Zi Huang
• Abstract summary: This work aims to tackle the explainability challenge in fashion recommendation tasks by proposing a novel Attribute-aware Fashion Recommender (AFRec) AFRec recommender assesses the outfit compatibility by explicitly leveraging the extracted attribute-level representations from each item's visual feature. The attributes serve as the bridge between two fashion items, where we quantify the affinity of a pair of items through the learned compatibility between their attributes.

• Abstract: Modelling mix-and-match relationships among fashion items has become increasingly demanding yet challenging for modern E-commerce recommender systems. When performing clothes matching, most existing approaches leverage the latent visual features extracted from fashion item images for compatibility modelling, which lacks explainability of generated matching results and can hardly convince users of the recommendations. Though recent methods start to incorporate pre-defined attribute information (e.g., colour, style, length, etc.) for learning item representations and improving the model interpretability, their utilisation of attribute information is still mainly reserved for enhancing the learned item representations and generating explanations via post-processing. As a result, this creates a severe bottleneck when we are trying to advance the recommendation accuracy and generating fine-grained explanations since the explicit attributes have only loose connections to the actual recommendation process. This work aims to tackle the explainability challenge in fashion recommendation tasks by proposing a novel Attribute-aware Fashion Recommender (AFRec). Specifically, AFRec recommender assesses the outfit compatibility by explicitly leveraging the extracted attribute-level representations from each item's visual feature. The attributes serve as the bridge between two fashion items, where we quantify the affinity of a pair of items through the learned compatibility between their attributes. Extensive experiments have demonstrated that, by making full use of the explicit attributes in the recommendation process, AFRec is able to achieve state-of-the-art recommendation accuracy and generate intuitive explanations at the same time.

  Session-based Recommendation (SBR) seeks to predict a user's next action based on an anonymous session. Most SBR models rely on the contextual transitions within a short session to learn item representations. We propose a model-agnostic framework, named AttrGAU, to bring the Modeling of Item Attributes's superiority into existing attribute-agnostic models.

  We propose a novel framework that explores the attribute-opinion pairs of reviews to finely handle sequential recommendation. For each attribute, a unique attribute-specific user-opinion-item graph is created, where corresponding opinions serve as the edges linking heterogeneous user and item nodes. We present an interaction-driven fusion mechanism to integrate attribute-specific user/item representations across all attributes for generating recommendations.

  We propose a proxy-based item representation that allows each item to be expressed as a weighted sum of learnable proxy embeddings. The proxy-based method calculates the item representations compositionally, ensuring each representation resides inside a well-trained simplex. Our proposed method is a plug-and-play model that can replace the item encoding layer of any neural network-based recommendation model.

  In recommender settings, users' context and item attributes play a crucial role in deciding which items to recommend next. We propose a context and attribute-aware recommender model (CARCA) that can capture the dynamic nature of the user profiles in terms of contextual features and item attributes. Experiments on four real-world recommender system datasets show that the proposed model significantly outperforms all state-of-the-art models in the task of item recommendation.

  In recommender systems, users and items are associated with attributes, and users show preferences to items. As annotating user (item) attributes is a labor intensive task, the attribute values are often incomplete with many missing attribute values. We propose an Adaptive Graph Convolutional Network (AGCN) approach for joint item recommendation and attribute inference.
