• Title: Sliding Spectrum Decomposition for Diversified Recommendation
• Authors: Yanhua Huang, Weikun Wang, Lei Zhang, Ruiwen Xu
• Abstract summary: We propose to study the diversity problem in such a scenario from an item sequence perspective using time series analysis techniques. We derive a method called sliding spectrum decomposition (SSD) that captures users' perception of diversity in browsing a long item sequence. We also share our experiences in designing and implementing a suitable item embedding method for accurate similarity measurement under long tail effect.

• Abstract: Content feed, a type of product that recommends a sequence of items for users to browse and engage with, has gained tremendous popularity among social media platforms. In this paper, we propose to study the diversity problem in such a scenario from an item sequence perspective using time series analysis techniques. We derive a method called sliding spectrum decomposition (SSD) that captures users' perception of diversity in browsing a long item sequence. We also share our experiences in designing and implementing a suitable item embedding method for accurate similarity measurement under long tail effect. Combined together, they are now fully implemented and deployed in Xiaohongshu App's production recommender system that serves the main Explore Feed product for tens of millions of users every day. We demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the method through theoretical analysis, offline experiments and online A/B tests.

  We design a recommender system that induces the temporal dimension in the task of item recommendation. It considers sequences of item interactions for each user in order to make recommendations. This method is empirically shown to give highly accurate predictions of user-items interactions for all users in a retail environment.

• Managing multi-facet bias in collaborative filtering recommender systems [0.0]
  Biased recommendations across groups of items can endanger the interests of item providers along with causing user dissatisfaction with the system. This study aims to manage a new type of intersectional bias regarding the geographical origin and popularity of items in the output of state-of-the-art collaborative filtering recommender algorithms. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets of movies and books, enriched with the items' continents of production, show that the proposed algorithm strikes a reasonable balance between accuracy and both types of the mentioned biases.

• Generative Slate Recommendation with Reinforcement Learning [49.75985313698214]
  reinforcement learning algorithms can be used to optimize user engagement in recommender systems. However, RL approaches are intractable in the slate recommendation scenario. In that setting, an action corresponds to a slate that may contain any combination of items. In this work we propose to encode slates in a continuous, low-dimensional latent space learned by a variational auto-encoder. We are able to (i) relax assumptions required by previous work, and (ii) improve the quality of the action selection by modeling full slates.
