• Abstract summary: Multi-Interest Preference (MIP) model is an approach that produces multi-interest for users by using the user's sequential engagement more effectively. Extensive experiments have been done on various industrial-scale datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

• Abstract: User embeddings (vectorized representations of a user) are essential in recommendation systems. Numerous approaches have been proposed to construct a representation for the user in order to find similar items for retrieval tasks, and they have been proven effective in industrial recommendation systems as well. Recently people have discovered the power of using multiple embeddings to represent a user, with the hope that each embedding represents the user's interest in a certain topic. With multi-interest representation, it's important to model the user's preference over the different topics and how the preference change with time. However, existing approaches either fail to estimate the user's affinity to each interest or unreasonably assume every interest of every user fades with an equal rate with time, thus hurting the recall of candidate retrieval. In this paper, we propose the Multi-Interest Preference (MIP) model, an approach that not only produces multi-interest for users by using the user's sequential engagement more effectively but also automatically learns a set of weights to represent the preference over each embedding so that the candidates can be retrieved from each interest proportionally. Extensive experiments have been done on various industrial-scale datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

  We propose a multi-objective decision making framework that accommodates different user preferences over objectives. Our model consists of a Markov decision process with a vector-valued reward function, with each user having an unknown preference vector. We suggest an algorithm that finds a nearly optimal policy for the user using a small number of comparison queries.

  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.
