• Abstract: Online recommender systems should be always aligned with users' current interest to accurately suggest items that each user would like. Since user interest usually evolves over time, the update strategy should be flexible to quickly catch users' current interest from continuously generated new user-item interactions. Existing update strategies focus either on the importance of each user-item interaction or the learning rate for each recommender parameter, but such one-directional flexibility is insufficient to adapt to varying relationships between interactions and parameters. In this paper, we propose MeLON, a meta-learning based novel online recommender update strategy that supports two-directional flexibility. It is featured with an adaptive learning rate for each parameter-interaction pair for inducing a recommender to quickly learn users' up-to-date interest. The procedure of MeLON is optimized following a meta-learning approach: it learns how a recommender learns to generate the optimal learning rates for future updates. Specifically, MeLON first enriches the meaning of each interaction based on previous interactions and identifies the role of each parameter for the interaction; and then combines these two pieces of information to generate an adaptive learning rate. Theoretical analysis and extensive evaluation on three real-world online recommender datasets validate the effectiveness of MeLON.

  Continual learning (CL) refers to the ability to continually learn over time by accommodating new knowledge while retaining previously learned experience. Current machine learning methods are highly prone to overwrite previously learned patterns and thus forget past experience. Since hand-crafting effective update mechanisms is difficult, we propose meta-learning a transformer-based to enhance CL.

  We devise a novel Dynamic Representation Learning model for Sequential Recommendation (DRL-SRe) To better model the user-item interactions for characterizing the dynamics from both sides, the proposed model builds a global user-item interaction graph for each time slice. To enable the model to capture fine-grained temporal information, we propose an auxiliary temporal prediction task over consecutive time slices.

  We propose a new active learning approach that jointly optimize the active learning system (training efficiently) and the user (receiving useful instances) We study our approach in an educational application, which particularly benefits from this technique as the system needs to rapidly learn to predict the appropriateness of an exercise to a particular user. We evaluate multiple learning strategies and user types with data from real users and find that our joint approach better satisfies both objectives when alternative methods lead to many unsuitable exercises for end users.
