• Abstract: In this work, we examine the advantages of using multiple types of behaviour in recommendation systems. Intuitively, each user has to do some implicit actions (e.g., click) before making an explicit decision (e.g., purchase). Previous studies showed that implicit and explicit feedback have different roles for a useful recommendation. However, these studies either exploit implicit and explicit behaviour separately or ignore the semantic of sequential interactions between users and items. In addition, we go from the hypothesis that a user's preference at a time is a combination of long-term and short-term interests. In this paper, we propose some Deep Learning architectures. The first one is Implicit to Explicit (ITE), to exploit users' interests through the sequence of their actions. And two versions of ITE with Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers based (BERT-based) architecture called BERT-ITE and BERT-ITE-Si, which combine users' long- and short-term preferences without and with side information to enhance user representation. The experimental results show that our models outperform previous state-of-the-art ones and also demonstrate our views on the effectiveness of exploiting the implicit to explicit order as well as combining long- and short-term preferences in two large-scale datasets.

  We argue that this reliance on binary choices does not capture the broader, aggregate preferences of the target user in real-world tasks. We introduce a simple yet effective method that augments existing binary preference datasets with synthetic preference judgments to estimate potential user disagreement.

We discuss the discrepancy between the interaction generation mechanism that is employed by the MovieLens system and that of typical real-world recommendation scenarios.

  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.

  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.

Experiments on two real e-commerce user behavior datasets show that DUMN has a significant improvement over the state-of-the-art baselines.

  In the Click-Through Rate (CTR) prediction scenario, user's sequential behaviors are well utilized to capture the user interest. Existing methods mostly utilize attention on the behavior of users, which is not always suitable for CTR prediction. We propose a Multi-Interactive Attention Network (MIAN) to comprehensively extract the latent relationship among all kinds of fine-grained features.
