• Title: Photos Are All You Need for Reciprocal Recommendation in Online Dating
• Authors: James Neve and Ryan McConville
• Abstract summary: We present a novel method of interpreting user image preference history and using this to make recommendations. We train a recurrent neural network to learn a user's preferences and make predictions of reciprocal preference relations. Our system significantly outperforms on the state of the art in both content-based and collaborative filtering systems.

• Abstract: Recommender Systems are algorithms that predict a user's preference for an item. Reciprocal Recommenders are a subset of recommender systems, where the items in question are people, and the objective is therefore to predict a bidirectional preference relation. They are used in settings such as online dating services and social networks. In particular, images provided by users are a crucial part of user preference, and one that is not exploited much in the literature. We present a novel method of interpreting user image preference history and using this to make recommendations. We train a recurrent neural network to learn a user's preferences and make predictions of reciprocal preference relations that can be used to make recommendations that satisfy both users. We show that our proposed system achieves an F1 score of 0.87 when using only photographs to produce reciprocal recommendations on a large real world online dating dataset. Our system significantly outperforms on the state of the art in both content-based and collaborative filtering systems.

  Recommender systems utilize users' historical data to infer customer interests and provide personalized recommendations. Collaborative filtering is one family of recommendation algorithms that uses ratings from multiple users to predict missing ratings. Recommender systems can be more complex and incorporate auxiliary data such as content-based attributes, user interactions, and contextual information.

  We propose a novel recommendation approach called LSVCR to jointly conduct personalized video and comment recommendation. Our approach consists of two key components, namely sequential recommendation (SR) model and supplemental large language model (LLM) recommender. In particular, we achieve a significant overall gain of 4.13% in comment watch time.

  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.
